Strategic Management

[SomeGuy]

I'm nearing the end of my senior year and I'm trying to figure out what to do next. I'm really interested in working for a corporation that buys inefficient companies and turns them around. I have a dual major in Economics w/ an emphasis in Managerial Economics, and Spanish. Plus I'm planning on taking Linear Algebra and Multivariable Calculus before I'm done. Where should I apply for jobs right out of my undergrad? Should I be doing anything else to make sure I can get a related job before going on to get a MBA or does a related job really matter?

Thanks for your time.

If you dont have much work experience consider doing an internship or something for 3-6 months after graduation. This way you can focus more on developing your skills and gaining experience rather than working your way to the top. Through new connections you make you may be able to find a place you are really looking to work for. I don't know of many companies whose main business is buying poorly running companies and selling them. The reason for this is that usually firms that are in an industry typically know of other businesses that are doing poorly and acquire them and then have the resources and ability to run them well since they are already in that line of work.
