Photo by: Stoker Studios Contacts are Key By Jessica Watts (c) - www.racingjob.com In an attempt to get a job most people send out hundreds of resumes, however, this strategy rarely works and no matter how good your resume is you are still only one sheet in a stack of papers. To guarantee you a position you must have contacts and know someone in that field, company, or on that team. When

I Don't Need You - You Need Me by Beverly Terrill (c) We would never say this to a prospective employer, but it doesn’t hurt to have that attitude. This shouldn’t be misconstrued as an excuse to be cocky and an a----hole. This is an approach that offers the employer YOU as an asset to the company. To go to an employer and explain that your mortgage is due, the triplets are hungry and you

Camping Out By Don Terrill (c)2006 I only use this tip to get someone to do what they're supposed to do, but there's no reason you can't use it to get people to do what you want them to. Now, when I say camp out I don't usually mean literally, but sometimes I do. Sometimes it takes showing up and staying until you get what you want. Examples of "Camping Out": Show up at their homeShow up at

A Cut Above The Rest! By Beverly Terrill (c)2006 Do you have any idea how many people apply for jobs in the auto racing industry everyday? I don't know the stat but I read a story about a guy who showed up for a job as a tire changer for one of the lesser known teams and found 300 others dying for that same job. This is good and bad for teams. The jobs are coveted no doubt and they have a

Leapfrog the Competition By Don Terrill (c)2005 Watch on Sundays and know you could do better, but hate the idea of having to start at the bottom of a team? Well, you don't have to. The Leapfrog Theory: "The quickest way to the top is not by fighting your way through the pack; the quickest way is to leapfrog over the pack. All you need is the ability and knowledge necessary to play the game

Power to the Bold By Don Terrill (c)2005 There are two types of people working in Nascar racing, the bold and those who were recommended by the bold. Being the bold: Call the team owner at the shop - You'd be surprised how many decision makers you can get on the phone if you ask. Just be persistent. Call the owner at home - Just showing up at their home is probably over the top, but a

Work For Nascar By Don Terrill (c)2005 Can't find a job with a team? Take a job with the sanctioning body instead, and use the opportunity to meet as many people in the industry as possible. In the end it may lead to a job with a team or maybe you'll find Nascar an enjoyable company to work for. Either way, you're working in racing.

How Much Are You Worth? by Beverly Terrill I believe the ideal job for any of us would come with a 6 figure annual salary and a short responsibility list. Unfortunately, most come with the opposite. We usually feel like we need more money but even if we get it, more is added to our job description. When you are searching for a job, any job, you have to keep in mind that generally the market

Starting at the Bottom by Beverly Terrill Have you ever thought about the path that someone great took to get where they are today? Let's look at Dale Earnhardt Jr. His Dad didn't say "OK son, here is your car and a sponsor, run the Busch series this year". Junior had to work on his own car and race locally to prove he had any ability to move into the more popular series. It's the same with

Interview Do's and Don'ts by Beverly Terrill DO: 1) Know exactly when you will be able to start your new job if hired. And ask when the new job will start. There is nothing worse than getting to the end of an interview, being offered a job but you can't start when they need you. 2) Have notes. Make a list of those things that you want to convey during the interview. For instance, if you are

10 Racing Resume Errors by Beverly Frye Resume may be screened before they actually get to the person responsible for hiring personnel. Make sure your resume makes the cut. The following errors can be fatal! Too Long A resume should be one page and a cover letter if necessary. If it is well written, this will give you plenty of space.
