Out of college and need some help

2006330iFTW · 01-06-2010, 12:14 AM

Hey guys here is my situation. I'm in my final semester of college and need an internship in the automotive field as a requirement for my bachelor's degree in Automotive Technology from Morrisville State College. That being said i have been looking around in the Westchester area for possible employment but still haven't found anything. My choices have been mostly European car manufactures since i like them the most (aka BMW, Merc). I need to find one by the 3rd week of my spring semester which starts on Jan 25th. The position I need would be either a service adviser or parts department employee. I have experience in both fields. I also have extensive knowledge in the mechanical aspect via my Associate's degree in Automotive Technology also from Morrisville. Having the knowledge of a tech and experience in the business aspect i feel i could do one hell of a good job. I will continue to search my area and probably Greenwich in CT since they have a lot of dealerships/independent shops in that area. If anyone has advice or a possible opportunity please feel free to pm me or post. Thanks.

I work in Greenwich, CT on Putnam Avenue where all the dealers are located. I don't work for one of the dealers however across the street in a Corporate Office.

I venture to those dealers quite often to look at their cars and talk with the SA's. They know my face and i'll ask around. Don't know them on a personal level but my lunch breaks are only so long.

I'll also ask around the office to see if anyone has family or friends that work in one of the dealers for an 'IN'.

No promises from me, but I'll see what I can do on my end to help a BMW member out.

Good luck on your search. I'll send you any information I am able to dig up.

If you want to send me your resume in the mean time so I can pitch you a bit better feel free to do so.
