Automotive Dealership Sales Managers

Most communities have a chamber of commerce whose members usually will be glad to share their insights into the career of a car sales manager.

Ask your school's career services office to help arrange an informational interview with an auto dealership sales manager. Discuss the pros and cons of working in car sales management, find out about the manager's educational and professional background, and ask them for general advice and request if you can job shadow them for a day.

Join student business organizations—such as Junior Achievement (JA) (https://jausa.ja.org), DECA (www.deca.org), Future Business Leaders of America-Phi Beta Lambda (www.fbla-pbl.org), and Business Professionals of America (http://bpa.org) to learn more about the business world and participate in activities that develop your leadership, managerial, sales, and marketing skills.
