I just sent in an application to Ford and I'll probably send one to GM as well. What positions did you apply for?

Engineering jobs that I'm the right fit for but probably won't get.

F1 driver, but that dream passed away 20-some-odd years ago.

If you're not wealthy and/or taller than like 5'4" then it was determined before birth.

Its not up to them, so much as it is their TMS - I believe Ford uses Brassring. 95% or more of all applications are automatically scanned for key words, then rejected by the software without any human eyes ever seeing them. The 5% or so that do make it through to a person will usually be given a pretty fair shake.

I had a friend that was flown to Dearborn for an interview last year, they were pretty serious about him. He didn't go into detail about why he wasn't hired, but I have to suspect it was because he had to talk as part of the interview and he doesn't always present very well.

What sort of engineering jobs? I know they're looking for some manufacturing folks down the hall...

I must have an mental defect that makes me like manufacturing, but I can see why a lot of people need to get away from it.
