Stuck on what career to pursue with your major?

The good news is that you have plenty of options! Many people follow a non-traditional career path and have used their degrees in various ways to reach success.

Here are a few resources if you're unsure what type of jobs are out there for someone in your major:

Wondering if a particular career field is for you?

Another great way of researching jobs is to conduct an Informational Interview!!!

The purpose of an informational interview is to obtain information, not to ask for a job. In an informational interview, your goal is to learn about a field and make decisions as to whether it is a viable career for you.

Be prepared to ask specific questions. Your objective is to learn as much as you can. To accomplish this in as short a time as possible, prepare a written list of questions. Ask good questions, get full information, and you will be able to make a better decision as to whether or not to pursue a particular field as a career possibility.

Whatever your decision, be sure to send a thank you to the person you interviewed—don’t forget, they are a part of your career network now!

Enterprise Rent-A-Car is the largest car rental company in North America and arguably the world. We are a multibillion-dollar company with more than 900,000 vehicles in our rental and leasing fleet, more than 66,000 employees and nearly 7000 locations in the U.S., Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom and Ireland. Enterprise has recently been ranked #5 on Business Week’s “Top 50 Places to Launch a Career” and has also been named one of the "100 Best Companies To Work For" by FORTUNE Magazine.

Career Opportunities
Management Trainee
Management Trainee Intern

Enterprise is recognized as one of corporate America’s leading management development organizations by allowing you to run your own business, hire and manage your own team, and gain crucial business training in a very short period of time. The Management Training program is often referred to as an “MBA crash course” because from day one, you will actively participate in everything from sales and marketing, to customer service, to accounting and finance. The Management Trainee Internship (summer only) is like Business 101 on 10 cups of coffee or speed reading through the best business text books. We offer college students entering their senior year paid internships where they learn highly marketable skills pertaining to every aspect of running a successful business.

At Enterprise, your hard work is rewarded and your career is put on the fast track. Enterprise believes almost exclusively in promoting from within. A belief supported by the fact that nearly 100% of our senior management started out as management trainees. Trainees typically receive one or more promotions within their first year, and many double their salaries upon becoming branch managers. Branch manager perks also include salaried pay, commissions, and company car privileges.

From the moment you join Enterprise, you will be able to make important business decisions and you will continue to experience unlimited opportunities for advancement and pay increases based your performance and initiative. It’s a formula for success many at Fortune 500’s can only wonder about and many MBA’s can only envy.

Job Requirements
If you are career-minded, goal-oriented and have a background in sales, management, marketing, or customer service, you are an ideal candidate. You should also have a strong desire to excel within a busy team, sales and customer-driven environment. A college degree is preferred and a valid driver’s license and good driving record is a must. For the Management Trainee Internship, candidates must be entering their senior year, and within two semesters of graduation.
