Need Engineering Advice

[cemaxc]

I really need some help. I am a Junior, Mechanical Engineering major and have applied online at gm.com to their intern program. I did this not two days after they opened the site for submissions in August. Its now mid-September and I haven't heard anything from them regarding if I got the position or not. I did get the email that says that they received my resume and information. I don't know what to do from here. Anyone else here been through this before? How long does it take for me to know if I made the cut or not? Texas Tech University is not very informative on anything automotive. When we graduate they would rather us work for Lockheed/Boeing or for an Oil company. The only automaker at our job fair is Toyota, thats only because they just opened that new plant in San Antonio. Do I just keep waiting? Will they call me? Email me? This is probably the most nerve wracking thing I've ever done.

If you really want the job you need to contact them and see where everything is at. I had the same issues with Boeing and Cessna looking for a full time salaried position and when they didn't get back to me I just let it go (I already had an offer from General Dynamics Electric Boat in Connecticut). So I would say send an e-mail or find a phone number and call it to see where everything is at.
