I'm Looking For Jobs in the Motor Trade, What's The Market Like in the UK?


If you're looking for a motor trade job then the UK is probably one of the best places to be in right now. When you page through the number of positions available there is an abundance throughout the country.

Yes we did suffer with the recession, but the majority of jobs that were lost were in the factories, there still remains a demand for mechanics, managers and sales people.

Mechanical Workshops

The past two years has seen people uprooting their families and moving to where the work is and the same applies when looking for work as a mechanic in a mechanical workshop. The advantage now is that if a company is looking and you qualify, you don't have to worry because the recession is over, so companies that are still standing now will be standing in years to come, meaning you have job security.

In the workshop side of the industry you find both the larger dealerships and the smaller independent workshops are looking for the right staff members. You will need to keep an eye on the local paper and scout the internet to find the positions and bear in mind that there are a lot of people looking for this kind of work, so be sure your CV really puts your best foot forward to make an impression.

Car Sales

The car sales industry is stabilising nicely which means that companies are hiring again from secretaries and accounts managers to branch managers and sales people. This is the side of the industry that was really hard hit during the recent economic crisis, car sales plummeted which lead to job loss, but now that sales are increasing so are the positions coming available.

The majority of positions offered are at car dealerships, known brands from branch managers to sales managers and sales personnel are all positions currently being advertised on the internet.

UK Job Market

All in all the job market in the UK is definitely improving as more jobs are advertised on a daily basis. If you are looking for a position it's advisable to keep an eye on the internet and email your CV as and when they are added, also get in touch with workshops and dealerships in your area to see if they are hiring at the minute and speak to friends who are already in the industry, this will enable you to get your name on the list before they advertise.

We can expect to see even more motor trade jobs hitting the internet in the next few weeks with the holiday season and winter upon us, people are going to start repairing their vehicles, maintaining their vehicles again and buying new vehicles.
