<p>How would one go about getting into a job at BMW or Toyota or Acura or some major car brand like this? I know getting internships at some automotive company might help to prepare you, but how would one go about getting a job like this. I know it is a lot harder since your aiming to work for a non-American car company, but still. </p>
<p>My friend was asking me how he could work his way to top business positions in BMW, or even get a basic job at BMW, and I said - wow I have no idea.</p>
<p>Any ideas on how to get a job, at say, BMW?</p>
<p>Honda, Toyota, BMW, etc will all most likely have US divisions. It would be a matter of being hired from there and working your way up or working for another automaker, working your way up, and jumping ship. No biggy either way. All car companies will hire the same types of business jobs - marketing, finance, accounting, etc</p>
<p>In Finance, working your way up, what would be an entry level job, and the entry level pay. Where are most automakers USA bases located anyways? I'm trying to help my friend but I'm clueless.</p>
<p>how bought you go to the websites and search their careers, it would be more productive. Each takes undergraduates and put them into a 1 or 2 year rotation, but best bet would be to check out their websites...duh</p>
<p>BMW rarely hires in the united states. They've sponsored the Riordan Programs at UCLA once and that was one of the few times they did such a thing. Opportunities are scarce though.</p>
<p>Toyota does have a solid rotational program but really, b-school doesn't even have much to do with it until you get to the MBA level, where most folks wanna get into product management for lexus or scion or the like.</p>
