- Upload a clear, professional photo. If you’re unsure, a simple headshot with a plain background works well.
- Show enthusiasm. Write a short paragraph explaining why the automotive industry excites you.
- Ask for references. A teacher or community leader who can vouch for your work ethic adds weight.
