The event featured\u00a016 premier automotive employers who participated in a job fair where they met\u00a0and interviewed 25 Skyline College students. The employers represented car dealers like BMW, Lexus, Toyota, Ford and Honda. Also represented were independent repair owners such as San Bruno Auto Repair and chain stores like Firestone and Midas just to name a few.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/skylinecollege.edu\/skylineshines\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2015\/04\/AutoEvent2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-4659 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/skylinecollege.edu\/skylineshines\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2015\/04\/AutoEvent2-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Professor Johnson Assisting Automotive Students\" width=\"450\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/skylineshines.skylinecollege.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/AutoEvent2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/skylineshines.skylinecollege.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/AutoEvent2.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Professor Johnson\u00a0ensures all of the prospective students are prepared with instruction on what to expect from an employer, how to act and behave, as well as putting them all through mock interviews both in person and over the phone. These are soft skills that often get overlooked. Some of these employers are hiring Skyline College\u00a0students as interns and offering pay well over 25% to 35% of what most entry-level automotive students would normally be offered.<\/p>\n<p>Due to the retirement of baby boomers in the automotive\u00a0profession, quality automotive students are in high demand. The Skyline College automotive program excels at meeting these demands, not only in\u00a0turning out skilled knowledgeable students but also helping to mold\u00a0mature, responsible and productive members of society. When students\u00a0graduate after they have spent 3 years of their life with Skyline College\u00a0getting their education, they are now part of our extended family.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Article &amp; Photos by\u00a0Thomas G.
