What in the world do they think they can find with requirements like this?

Knowledge in the commercial fleet industry

Project management

Thorough understanding of vehicle diagnostic systems in the automotive, light and heavy duty truck industry.

Bachelors’ degree; additionally, depending on segment assigned to the position may require auto technology degree.

3-5 years of experience supporting the light and heavy duty truck industry or similar field sales experience

Familiarity with assigned industry segment and associated features and benefits of required products/services. (e.g., automotive diagnostic systems and shop equipment for fleets, government specifications, etc.)

Demonstrate business acumen and assist or possibly lead negotiations with high level management.

And those are just the qualifications... of who? Super trucker tech salesman college grad?

Responsibilities

Corporate representative to industry segment to advance and support company sales

Manage any technical support with state and federal government agencies.

Builds relationships with senior leaders in assigned industry.

Develop and lead the corporate relationships such as within NATEF, ASE and other certification organizations.

Advise the corporation about trends in the industry and make recommendations on new products and services for assigned business segments.

Advise field sales organization with identifying large segment sales opportunities and new sales approaches.

Develop plans and manage the process while working with sales force and customers to ensure successful implementation.

Work within the industry to explore and develop (possibly with other innovative companies) improvements that raise industry standards.

Seems like this company can create the right person for the job, but will never find anyone that can satisfy these responsibilities and qualifications as written

  2. Maybe they already have someone in the job that has all of the qualifications, but is here on a work visa or green card. In some cases, I think they have to post the position for citizens, but if they make the requirements tight enough, nobody else will qualify.
