The automotive industry has a wide variety of jobs from manufacturing the automobile, clerical work, repairs, sales, and companies peripherally related to the automobile industry, such as suppliers. It is an all encompassing industry supplying opportunities to those who know where their strengths lie. These strong points should be enumerated in a resume and you are ready to begin.

It is difficult to get the positions, which are not that technical, i.e. assembling the automobile. With increasing outsourcing to foreign countries and less automobiles manufactured in the United States, it would be quite difficult to land such a position. A sales position for one of the well-established automobile manufacturers is not out of the question. Though less sales positions are available, an expert salesman or saleswoman is always in demand if they have a following and are expert in the art of salesmanship.

Even in this time of decreasing automobile sales, the complexity of the present-day automobile with its computerization, needs well-qualified personnel to repair the automobiles. If this is your strong point there are positions awaiting in automobile service centers, both privately owned and those belonging to the automobile manufacturers. If funds are available you can even open your own repair shop, bearing in mind that it will take time to get name recognition through satisfied customers. There will always be a need for a top mechanic in the car industry and you can expect to be paid very well.

Clerical skills which entails a knowledge of the required computer programs used in the automobile industry could well land you a job in the office of an affiliated company or supplier to the automobile industry.

If you are a graduate with a science degree, the new green revolution could be the place to go for employment. With the advent of the hybrid automobile and the research and development in batteries, natural gas and other fuel substitutes being studied as possible replacements for gasoline, you could get in on the ground floor of a growing industry.

With a class of license required for towing and flatbed service in your possession, you can be part of an essential sector of the automobile industry. How often do you see automobiles being towed or carried due to some malfunction?

There are so many positions affiliated with the automobile, even going as far as becoming an insurance agent specializing in writing automobile policies or even automobile loans. It is an industry with many opportunities awaiting you.

There are several specialist recruitment job sites and Job Boards offering vacancies in both the UK and overseas.
