It depends on area / job demand. Just because your company hired thousands doesn't mean every city is hiring thousands.

I just so happen to get lucky when I applied because my boss was looking for more people since the department was getting busy.
Exactly. Where I work we hire about 75 people a month but the turnover is pretty high. Plus it depends on the field you are in as well.

Got back from a car show about 40 minutes ago, had dinner, and now bed time. /sigh

I can't wait to start 4x 10 hour days in July. Have 3 day weekends and work maybe 4 or 5 hours on Fridays if I want the overtime.

You live in the south. The Civic's cannot be as s***ty as they are up here in the north with all the salt :lol:.

A lot of car folk around here have gone down south to get cars. My friend just went to one of the Carolina's to get an 05 GTO. Clean as hell, daily driven all year, and no rust. I wish I could drive year round and not get rust :(. Another friend got an S2000 from Florida.

im a release engineer in Electrified Drivetrains dept. currently working on the Fiat 500 electric vehicle coming out in 2013 (to compete with Nissan Leaf and Chevy Volt).

also been working on testing for Ram hybrid and Caravan hybrid (both plug-in hybrid electric vehicles) which we have about 50 prototypes of each that we produced as an experiment for the government (Dept. of Energy). Both PHEV's will most likely be in production sometime in the future.
