Morning oppo!

I am on my way to be graduating college in May and have been looking for graduate/entry level positions at McLaren, Ford, Chrysler, etc. Yet unfortunately they all seem to be geared towards engineering majors..

Does anyone know of or know where I may find any Finance/Economics type positions? Any help is much appreciated!!

Have a P1 for your troubles.

Are you near any of their corporate offices? Many automakers also have regional offices which primarily deal with dealer relations. I also believe a few have DC offices for government relations. I'm an economics student as well who is planning on getting into the industry within the next year.

I second this, I work near corporate Subaru in New Jersey and will probably apply there after my current job. Also have a finance degree.

I'm entering the job market in a year as well, with a Business Management Degree.

If I were you, I'd look more towards the larger dealer side of things. Think like Penske, Carmax (corporate stuff in Richmond, VA or Georgia), or Sonic, or Autonation.

Also parts suppliers. I work with so many different companies I have never heard of and when I ask them what they do their response is they supply parts for GM or Honda.
