What Jobs did enterprise help you get???

[enterprise54321]

For former employees of enterprise... What jobs did enterprise help you get when you finally threw in the towel.. and how long did you work there before you were able to get out there and apply for other jobs????

i took this job out of school because i was struggling to find work with no experience and i was told this would open up lots of doors... so i was hoping to get a little feedback from anybody out there.....;....

I worked there for 5 months and ended up working in the legal department of a major chemical company.

I don't know if it is specifically that enterprise is on your resume, but rather that you now have some kind of job experience. Though many state that employers like that you have survived ERAC's training program (which is supposedly 90 days of training).

I guess my best estimate is 90 days.

Not sure how true this is but I have heard that Wells Fargo loves former ERAC employees...

I just quit a week ago to go work in the finance department of a company that I had formerly done an internship for (before ERAC). When I interviewed for this company a couple of months ago, they didn't really care about my Enterprise experience at all and focused a lot more on my former experience with their own company. However, I feel like I was able to interview really well because of my E-prise experience... Depending on where you are in your ERAC "career" I would say it's a really good idea to get the assistant manager title to put on your resume. I didn't, but until this job came up that was my plan. (I was basically kissing all the ERAC ass I could while going home every night and applying for other jobs...everywhere!)

thanks for the responses,,,,, it seems enterprise wont help me better my career and i am wasting my time...

If you get to Branch Manager level, a lot of doors open up. Mostly in sales though, not management. I now work for SFGate.com

I worked at Enterprise for a little over three years and made it to the assistant manager level and really only left because I was moving and my driving record wasn't good enough to transfer as a MA. I'm now an executive recruiter and I LOVE IT! I was called specifically because of my background with ERAC and now I love to see ERAC people apply to my pharmaceutical sales positions - I can almost guarantee that I'll be able to get them in the process. It's great experience and looks great on your resume, especially for outside sales positions where you can make the big bucks.

I got an outside sales job 3,000 miles away and then promptly handed in my two week notice. My boss (the only person at my company to actually look at my resume and conduct the interviews, since it's a 3-person office only) didn't really ask much about my rental experience; I think it's just understood by a lot people that it's an industry where young people are overworked and underpaid, and as a result leave really hungry for change and to prove themselves as much more. Honestly, besides the what I mentioned above, I don't think it helped me much other than showing as occupied space in the employment history after college. Most of the "skills" you learn before the BM level are pretty basic.

I got my dream job working in the sports industry but I think that had to do more with getting a Master's. Enterprise helped me out by realizing I never wanted to work at a place like that again.
