Automotive Partsperson |
|
|||||||||||||||||||
Description An automobile is composed of hundreds of different parts from spark plugs to the transmission to the dipstick; all of these parts are necessary to maintain a safe and operational vehicle. It seems almost impossible to keep track of all of these details yet that is precisely what an automotive partsperson or (parts clerk) does. They are responsible for the ordering, stocking, proper storage and selling of auto parts. Ordering and maintaining stock of these parts requires the use of manual or computerized inventory systems. Automotive parts clerks must maintain a working knowledge of automotive parts so they may properly advise retail customers or shop workers on the appropriate parts, supplies or materials requested. This means parts clerks must also have good communication skills and be able to effectively interact with the public. |
