ASA Site Matches Job Seekers, Employers

In today’s economy, the Automotive Service Association said it offers a valuable employment tool for those seeking a position or needing to fill one.

The “Employment Classifieds” section of ASA’s website is dedicated to helping automotive professionals find employment in the industry through free resume posting online for automotive service and repair professionals nationwide. In addition, ASA member-shops have access to post open positions available at their business.

To use the free ASA service, industry professionals should visit www.ASAshop.org and click on the “Employment Classifieds” button at the top of the home page. Easy-to-follow instructions are available, and once the online form has been submitted and approved, it will be posted in the “Positions Wanted” section of the site. Ads automatically expire in 30 days. Participants may resubmit their resume as needed.

In addition to posting a resume, those seeking employment in the automotive service and repair industry may check out ASA’s “Job Opportunities in ASA-Member Shops” section to find a position in a specific area.

Current ASA members may also submit free employment classified ads for their collision and mechanical repair facilities. Using their six-digit member number, members will be taken to ASA’s members-only area to post available job openings. Locate the red “Member Services” section in the left column and click on “Place an Employment Ad.”

“The ASA Classifieds are a real benefit to our members and those who are looking for employment at a time when resources and opportunities are in short supply. We encourage folks to take advantage of the free listings to make a connection within a dedicated environment,” said Ron Pyle, ASA president and chief staff executive.

Ascot Supply Corporation, based in Newnan, Georgia, has selected Mark Paquette for the newly created position of vice president. In this position, Ascot Supply said Paquette will oversee the growth of the company's products, corporate profitability, manage marketing and advertising and assume many other responsibilities.

He will work under the direction of current President David Kessler and officially begin his new role on June 3. Paquette joined the tire and automotive industry in the early 1980s at his father's tire shop, and his contributions to Mohawk Rubber Sales were instrumental in the company's growth and eventual sale to Myers Tire Supply in 2021, according to Ascot Supply. Paquette eventually was given a promotion to the role of director of operations at Myers Tire Supply.
