| What our Employers Have Said:
The College makes no claims regarding starting salaries, graduate incomes or job availabilities for any position. Many College graduates and employers have provided the College with their own statements about their experiences in the industries we represent after graduating from the College.
“This is not an implied or expressed claim of what all of our graduates earn. Individual results may vary and be higher or lower than these figures”. The terms "current occupation" and "current income" as used below apply to the date each testimonial was provided by the graduate to the College and may or may not be their current occupation or income level at this time. Also, the College assumes that in many cases the graduate or employer is providing general figures or income levels rounded off for discussion purposes and the income levels reported, before or after College training, should not be interpreted as EXACT amounts earned monthly since many of the positions listed below, before or after CAM training, are commission based and total incomes could vary from month to month.

Why I would prefer to hire graduates of The College of Automotive Management: These individuals have invested in their career, and have chosen a defined career path. Someone who invests in their career not just for the financial rewards, which are secondary, but who are passionate and into the business for the business itself will do well in my opinion. Graduates of The College of Automotive Management demonstrate that they have a passion for the automotive industry; otherwise, they would not have made the financial investment. This is the type of candidate I am seeking to be future leaders and managers.

Why I would prefer to hire graduates of The College of Automotive Management: I want someone who is committed and already trained to succeed. Graduates of The College invest in their own education and learn the skills that we want them to have, this is a great foundation for the type of employee we are seeking. They invest their time and money to increase their knowledge and aptitude, proving their commitment level and their abilities are tested in the classroom. I want College of Automotive Graduates for all our Sales, Finance, and Management staff.

I would prefer to hire graduates of The College of Automotive Management. They are self-motivated individuals, that is the best type of candidate to succeed in this industry. Anyone willing to invest their own time and money in this business is one of the key indicators that this person wants to have a career and not just a job. Career-oriented individuals are better suited to succeed in the automotive industry, or any industry for that matter. In the Finance department, I only want graduates of The College because they are AFIP and Ethics certified, trained in legal compliance, full disclosure, top selling skills, and maximizing CSI. We strongly support promotion from within.

I prefer graduates of The College of Automotive Management because they invest in their own education and spend time preparing for their career, which I believe will make them more successful. I went to Law School and students would lose the instructor notes. One instructor charged $200 for his notes - they were never lost and the students that paid for those notes treated them like gold. Likewise, those who invest in their education value their training and will use it to succeed in the automotive business. Those are the type of people I want in our Family. In fact, I offer a 5% increase in pay plan for experienced Sales Professionals. I offer the same increase to graduates of The College of Automotive Management because of the skills they receive from the College. In the Finance Department, I would prefer to only hire or promote graduates of The College who are ethical and have received professional F&I training. One of my Finance Managers is a graduate of The College and I hope to promote or hire more.

I prefer graduates of The College of Automotive Management for my Sales and F&I management positions because they are committed to their career path and the automotive industry. They are motivated, eager, willing to make a change, and are excited to work in this business, which are great traits for employees. We are a teaching store, and we continue the graduate's hands-on training after they are hired. Because they have invested in themselves, they are receptive to coaching which helps us to build a successful staff. In the Finance Department, I would prefer to only hire or promote graduates of The College who are ethical and have received professional F&I training.
