Employment Opportunities

About 60,000 additional automobile technicians are needed in the next 5 years, according to industry experts. And working on complex vehicles requires more skills which limits the pool of qualified candidates, forcing dealers and independent shops to compete for good technicians. The best prospects should be comfortable with computers, understand electronics, and know the basics of how a car works. But the best suited candidate is likely to seek something more glamorous and less grimy in the computer technology field. And older mechanics may not warm up to computer technology. The Automotive Service Association says one technician enters the job market for every 10 who leave (USA Today).

Bernardi's Collision Center

We're looking for someone who wants to get some hands-on experience. We're a local body shop specializing in collision repair. Our prep-man is moving on to bigger and better things and we're looking to fill the position with someone who would like to get their foot in the door. The job would include paint-prep, buffing and sanding, detailing the finished cars, as well as shop clean-up.  This is an opportunity for a student to learn how to tear-down, prep, paint, repair and polish a vehicle. We would like someone who is committed, rather than someone just in it for the paycheck. If you are interested email us at bernardicc@sbcglobal.net.
