A volcano erupting in Iceland? Surely the world is ending. If it is, tell my mom I love her. If it’s not, there’s a lesson to be learned here. Molten magma and hot lava can teach you how to land a smoking hot auto technician job.
1. Be explosive: Like flaming bursts of rubble and ash, you’ve got to come out with a bang. This volcano might not be Vesuvius, but it’s making a scene in Europe by covering half the continent in an ash cloud. Like Eyjafjallajokull (say that ten times fast), make sure you stand out with your application. Mention all your relevant experience and double-check your spelling.
2. Don’t just blow smoke: Hiring managers will smell this sulfur cloud a mile away. A volcano without lava isn’t newsworthy, and a resume without experience isn’t going to land you a job. Be honest, detailed and upfront about your experience.
3. Call the experts: I’m pretty sure we’ve heard every single volcanic scientist in the world on the news in the last week. Like CNN, sometimes you need an expert to do the talking. List some solid references who can testify that you’re an awesome mechanic. Be sure to have them mention specific tasks and duties you’re great at.
