Women Techs Rock

SHOW UP FOR EACH OTHER

“There are a lot of discouraging things happening out there, and I think the way to keep people in the field is we have to mentor each other and show up for each other. We have to realize that the woman standing next to you is not your competition, and there’s room for more than one woman at the table. 

We can all fit there.”

– Jill, Auto Tech

“Don’t look at that job as a chance to prove yourself in a male-dominated industry. We belong here, but proving it is not the point of taking the job. Take the job because you love the mechanics – because you love working on motors or vehicles. Narrow your mind and focus on that. Don’t worry about what the next guy, or even the next girl, thinks about you. That’s not important, and it’s not why you took this job. Be passionate about your skills.”

– Edica, Auto Tech
