Reverse Job Posts: Help Students Find Part-Time Work at Shops

Reverse Job Posts make it easy for students to find part-time or full-time work while in school or after graduation. Unlike traditional job boards, students create a post outlining their skillset and what they’re looking for in a shop, and the shops reach out to them with job opportunities. The students’ contact information is kept 100% anonymous, and they don’t need a resume.

For instructors, the biggest benefit of getting their students to create Reverse Job Posts is when they get approached by local shops or dealerships looking for new technicians, they can just refer them to WrenchWay Reverse Job Posts. Shops can create a free profile to connect with the students and technicians looking for work. This takes the pressure off the instructor and puts the responsibility on the shop and the student.
