Ford is looking for someone in their purchasing dept and Detroit Diesel is looking for interns (Supplier Management). I got it through my alma mater, but perhaps you guys can apply through different avenues, for the same thing.

edit: I am not applying for these, was just letting you guys know, in case anyone needs a job/internship.

DISCUSSION (8)

Good luck! I work for one of Ford's ad agencies (and worked at a different Ford ad agency prior to this one). Getting in on the Ford side is like striking gold, can get a huge career path over there.

I am not currently interested, I thought some of you might be. I'm happy at my job for the time being :)

Haha yep!

I may at some point try to get into FoMoCo, I do agree it could be an excellent career path. I am at a smaller company and I think my career here will surely plateau within the next 3 - 4 years.

Yeah it seems that even people who should be fired for poor performance over at FoMoCo just get bumped to a different role.

With a raise.

So frankly you can suck at your job and keep making money. Not saying it's a good thing for the company, but if you think selfishly you can make a bunch of cash in a very secure job environment lol.

Oh right on. Hahaha. I worked at Steelcase for a bit and it was the same way, maybe even more so. I feel it is companies like that it is hard to get in, because the people there don't want to leave as they are protective of the secure environment in which they can bullshit all day. I was an intern there and basically the reason they had interns was so that the full time people could take a majority of the summer off. Another example, I heard stories of people stealing from the company and they didn't even get fired. I certainly hope that Ford is a little better than that, haha.

Ford is better than that at least! I have to say the people over there that I worked with worked their asses off.

There were a lot of perks, and an insane amount of job security - but they worked for it at least.
