If you could choose, would you prefer working in auto parts and service or in auto part sales?
When it comes to a career in the auto parts industry, there are many different avenues you can choose. Do you consider yourself more of a salesman and people person, or are you more technical / analytical with a preference for the parts and service side? It's great to express a preference, if you have one, but you also want to show the interviewer that you are multi-faceted and able to work in most areas of their business.

I have always had a strong lean towards sales and service so I do feel that I would prefer to land in a sales-driven role at Hyundai Mobis.
However, I am confident that my mechanical knowledge will allow me to work successfully in most functions as I am very knowledgeable when it comes to mechanics and auto parts.
