Career Service Station: The Origin Story

Vintage Gas Station

The Early Garage Days

Owner and Founder Robert Braathe has always had a strong connection to cars.
Growing up, he spent his time helping at his uncle’s garage, pumping gas, and fixing tires at the
local station where he met his first mentor, Tom Kelly.

A Simpler Time

It was a simpler time — when gas was pumped by hand, when you knew everyone at the station,
and when service meant something. Although Robert went on to pursue a business career beyond
the auto world, the lessons learned in that small-town garage never left.

The Problem With Automation

As job searching became increasingly automated, Robert noticed the problem: algorithms were
skipping over mistakes any human could catch. What people needed wasn’t more automation — it was
a human touch.

The Birth of Career Service Station

Career Service Station was built on that philosophy. The same care your car once received at the
local garage is now applied to your career: real conversations, real guidance, real results.
