Thread regarding Ford layoffs

Layoffs last month (very bleak situation)

There are no jobs in the market. For every position there are 150 applicants. No interviews so far.

Are you all applying in the car industry still?

I guess when you're still in Michigan, that is all you can do really.

Lots of recruiters, and then silence, like you experienced. I have had ~ 10 interviews with companies past the recruiter screen step. They start virtual then lead to on site. Waiting for one to result in actual offer. I’m amazed at the degree of ghosting from the recruiters. I ask them all to follow-up with a yes/no if anything is going to progress, but very few actually do. I guess this is job hunting in the 2020s!

Good luck! Persistence will eventually pay off.

White people doing everything they can to not be called an immigrant.

It's the same as reverse-racism lol.
it's just racism.

no such thing as reverse immigration.
It's just immigration.

Only reason why I pointed race out is because you'd never hear Asians, or Mexicans or Indians say something stupid like that.

reverse-immigrants? lol

We are in/ at the tip of a global recession. Rising interest rates have slowed the velocity of money. Housing market is stagnant which took out corporations like Bed Bath and Beyond; more to come. This is what the federal reserve wants. The amount of money issued during the pandemic increased the M1 money supply substantially (5x). This is no different than what the Weimar Republic did post WW1. I’ll let history speak for itself. Be prepared, become self reliant, and when the sh-t hits the fan, be prepared to get out(aka reverse immigration).

@htf

You have been able to get "some" interviews? With the actual hiring company/management or just the recruiter? I have recruiters calling
constantly telling me my resume is great, and then silence. A lot of places
are just fishing.

“Our corporation is seeking electrical engineers”
What corporation?

The House slipped a massive foreign worker expansion into their Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spending bill, a blow to the GOP’s promise to protect the nation’s working class from powerful special interests.

@ejc+1nASjjp1 "They jobs are there if you fit certain requirements."

It seems there is only one requirement at Ford for any new position: employee must live in an LCC and accept a subpar compensation. It seems also the "leadership" positions are exempt from this requirement.

Our corporation is seeking electrical engineers, designers, and systems people. I am routinely asked if I know anyone. Due to lack of people with pulses, we've had to reduce the expectations and qualifications.

They jobs are there if you fit certain requirements.

This is what so many people don’t realize or refuse to admit. I have been able to get some interviews, but no offers yet. I also see dozens or hundreds of applicants for jobs.
