Ford will be hiring up to 500 workers to help Meford, OAC Sparky and Canada SVT build the Edge, due to the popularity of the vehicle. This, and the focus increasing production is good news for Ford.

So medford how much u want for that application

500 by July, sounds like summer students to me.

I'm not so sure about that ... the news report I heard said that they are offering the jobs first to the 700 or so Ford employees on layoff in Windsor - kinda sounds like full time gigs.

Chances of a new hire coming anywhere near the driver's seat of a forklift in the next 10 years would be almost nil.

But you could make forklift sounds and pretend you are one as you pick the parts out of the bins in Trim department, lol.

I heard less than 200 of the Ford Windsor Employees have signed on to transfer.

Kid on my street works at Jiffy Lube so I offered him my app and we'll see what happens.

I have a good friend who just got layed off permanently from the Bramalea plant - just a year ago he was getting OT.

What's this app you're talking about - would getting one give my buddy a leg up? If so, I'd like to get one for him if that's possible.

There is going to be one attached to all employee cheques this week.

So what qualifications do you need to work there.

18-64 yrs old, aptitude test, breathing. ;)

I can do that. Just don't ask my Gr 9. French teacher she told me all I had to do is breathe in her class to pass and I couldn't even do that. I passes in summer school.

My applications are gone. I'll ask around.

Thanks Meford. I would really liek the oportunity

Information should be coming soon if I have another application.

Applications are now available on-line. I guess the pickins so far have been less than stellar :lol:
