Careers in Racing Series: Finding and Prepping for a Racing Job

We'll talk more about the act of setting yourself up for a racing job in a future post, but in order to do so, you'll must know what future employers are looking for in a brand spanking new hire. That is why it is vital to do these searches well in advance of looking for a job. When you know what the employer wishes, you can build your resume in that direction.

When thinking about a career in racing, there's things you need to think about: setting yourself up for a racing job & actually applying & obtaining a motorsports job. They need different actions, but both are essential for your job search in case you are able.

For example, let's say you do a search for job listings for race teams & see that most of the posting need you to know AutoCad. Now you know that you will need to have AutoCad training before applying for these jobs perhaps a year or down the road, so you can start your schooling now in lieu of when you actually need that job.

So let's discuss the actual search process. In order to find the jobs you are interested in applying to, you'll must do a small bit of varied searching. of the best tools out there is Indeed.com. Indeed will search a broad range of job descriptions without giving you some of the more spam-like postings you'll get on Monster or other job boards.

The best way to start with all searches is putting in motorsports or racing, & leave the remainder of the fields blank. You don't require to even narrow it down to a geographic region, because you already know that racing jobs are rare & you may need to relocate although plenty of of them will be in the Charlotte area.

Google is the next tool I would use in your racing job search - this is a great way to find postings on specific team sites or unadvertised positions. Using the advanced search tool, you require to make use of keywords like motorsports and racing in the necessary fields along with hiring, employment and resume. Then, you require to put in or months in the date range to make sure that the job listing is recent and active. You can then visit the results and see what comes up.

Once you have completed the search at a job site like Indeed, you require to expand to sports-related job sites. Teamwork Online has postings for a variety of motorsports companies like ISC Motorsports and NASCAR. You require not sign up for an account to view the jobs, although I would recommend that you sign up for e mail alerts - free! - so that you can be the first to know about any racing jobs that come up.

Now that you have got picked out a few job listings that you require to target for application or for future research, you can get ready to apply for the career in racing of your dreams.

Another one-off site worth visiting is Jayski.com. The webmaster is honest about not actively keeping these listings up to date, but often they are notified about job openings from insiders within teams. It is hit and miss, but worth a visit.
