If you’re not a car enthusiast, you might have doubts about clicking “apply” on our careers page. Perhaps the job description fits what you’re looking for, but you have very little experience with cars. Though Reynolds
works with automotive dealerships, you don’t have to be an expert to work here, and there are many perks to working in automotive that you might not have thought of. Here are five reasons a career in automotive is a valuable one.
1. Long-Term Career
The automotive industry has been around
for a long time, and its future seems to be just as stable. As long as people need to get places, there will be cars on the road and a demand for automotive workers. By choosing automotive, you know you’ll be investing in a long-lasting career.
2. Ever-Changing Industry
The industry is always changing and evolving. New laws and regulations are continually being passed, and new technologies are constantly being developed. Because of this, Reynolds is also constantly evolving and improving our products to comply with new laws and keep dealers up to date with trends. No two days are exactly the same when working in this industry.
3. Various Career Opportunities
There are
numerous jobs in automotive — from manufacturing to sales to engineering. At Reynolds, you’ll also find a
wide variety of jobs to choose from in sales, marketing, software development, administration, finance, and so much more. The industry needs workers from a variety of backgrounds, experiences, and even college majors (
and Reynolds does too!). Just like a car, the industry needs many different pieces that work together to keep it going.
4. Diverse Customer Base
The automotive industry stretches all around the country and the world, impacting many different economies, transportation systems, and environments. Even in the United States alone, you’ll work with a diverse customer base. The cultures, history, and individuals at each dealership provide a unique environment everywhere you go. You may even have the opportunity to travel, depending on your job.
5. Applications for Daily Life
You might not own a dealership, but it’s likely you have a car or will own one in the future. By understanding dealerships and their processes and challenges, you’ll have a better idea of how the industry works. You’ll also pick up valuable lifelong skills such as problem-solving and attention to detail and maybe even some knowledge of economics and law. In addition, because trends in the industry are always changing, you’ll have opportunities for continuous learning throughout your career.
The automotive industry is one of the
largest industries in the world. There are perks, opportunities, and unique challenges that are only experienced in automotive. You may not be a car enthusiast, but don’t let that steer you from applying to Reynolds. There are so many good reasons to work in this dynamic industry, and there’s always something new to learn!
