I saw a position posted on Indeed recently for a boat repair shop / dealership at Smith Mountain Lake looking for a mechanic. I figured why not see what they say. So I applied and never got any response just crickets. I’ve been building engines, doing machine work and working on boats since I was in my 20’s even had ASE certification as an engine builder for years. Just surprised I didn’t even get a response 🤷🏻‍♂️ oh well.
