Re: How did you GET your job(s)?

Sea World of Ohio - Filled out Application

Geauga Lake Park - Filled out Application

CNC Programmer for PCC Airfoils - Father knew a guy and got my name in the door. Learned alot, great job.

Contact Unigraphics Designer, at GM - in 97 I graduated undergrad at UofM, and used the on campus interviews. I had 3 offers, and selected the lowest paying offer. I thought it would be the most fun. Money isn't everything.

Direct hire at GM, doing the same - They just asked so I said yes.

Got bored, when back to school for my masters at U of Mich (in mechanical engineering.)

Odd jobs on campus for the collage. Helped out with CNC and CAD classes, giving campus tours.

Wanted a summer job away from campus, interviewed on campus with many, Ford/Visteon asked me to join. Worked in Climate.

Graduated. Visteon asked me to come back, so I did. Put me in a rotation program allowing me to rotate. Been rotating around Visteon for 6 years.

Worked in Climate Controls making pretty plastics.
Worked in Advance Engineering having alot of fun, working on crazy / cool projects.
Worked as a process engineer for injection molding
Working in Climate Controls making pretty plastics, again (but with more skills.)

Get in early, do a good job... they might ask you back. PCC Airfoils asked for me to come back, as did Visteon.
