You just finished a training program want to apply for an available racecar technician position at NASCAR. First, choose your area of specialization:
– engines
– fabrication
– welding
– aerodynamics
– pit crew essentials
– fueling
– cooling
– onboard technology
Perfect! They happen to have an opening for your specialization, and you are invited to an interview. Before the interview they ask you to prepare a response to the following prompt:
What three things must a racecar technician know about this area of specialization?
Research to find the answers based on your area of specialization. NASCAR wants only the best racecar technicians, so be sure your response includes lots of details, ideally with concrete evidence (like pictures, videos, etc.) to prove that you already know these three essential things.
Create a presentation, which will be shared via your Zoom interview next week. Good luck!
Optional: Share your presentation in our Student Showcase to build your resume!
