I might get a job at GoodYear, but I'm not sure.

So...yea..I don't really know for sure...but it's possible... My dad has worked there for about 30 years now. He brought home an application for me the other day (they're hiring) and I filled it out and he carried it back Sunday night. I mean I really highly doubt they'll even consider hiring me...cause I've never had any kind of experience doing any kind of work like that, but the lady who does the hiring talked to my dad and asked him some things about me..so maybe she's thinking about it? Who knows... I kinda think it would be cool if I worked there, but I dunno..it's pretty hard work involved. I've been trying to find something though...I work at Chickfila right now and my boss doesn't give me enough hours! I have a car that needs worked on right now and I don't have the money to get it done. If I had more $$$ (more hours) then I could... I'm really comfortable w/ Chickfila. It doesn't feel so so much like work-it feels more like school...I go and hang out w/ my friends till time to leave. I mean ofcourse it's work but still...I enjoy it (sometimes) and I'm not so sure I want to quit working there...but I guess I'd be pretty crazy if I were to maybe get a job at Goodyear and didn't take it, huh???? Plus I do need more money which I am not getting where I'm at now... Well I don't know ;/ I just wanted to share this w/ ya'll... Who knows...they might now even call me from Goodyear. If they don't then I guess I'll still be searching for a better paying job if things stay the same at Chickfila ;/

I had a job just fall in my lap one time, not sure I wanted it or could do the job but I ended up keeping that job for 21 years. Sometime, life surprises you and how things work out....

Who knows, the Goodyear job might not be the one so you hang in there at Chickfila and end up the manager there one day... You just never know.

I don't know if you live near the Decatur or the Gadsden plant , but I see where they are investing, in plant upgrades, at the Gadsden plant for producing some of their high profit tires. Because of lawsuits at Goodyear concerning pay, for female employees, it looks like you can get a good paying job, if you get an offer. If you do get an offer you need to go for it. You are very limited at chickfila for future advancement.

My 2 cents worth for what it's worth - after many years in the work force.

No offense intended, but your job with Chick sounds like a typical job for school kids looking for a little money, or even for retirees looking to supplement their retirement pay. Of course there are some possibilities for advancement, but they are usually few and far between.

It sounds like a job with Goodyear would be with good pay, and the way the economy is right now, if I were in your shoes, I'd be looking at the potential that would be available there. The work will definitely be something that you are not used to, but remember, that the good jobs aren't ones that make you feel like you're still in school and hanging out with your friends.

Best of luck to you, regardless if the Goodyear job pans out or not. If not, then just keep looking. You'll find a good job, or it will find you, when you least expect it.

Go to school. Go to school. Go to school. These jobs you are looking at are probably not life time careers.

School, especially college, isn't for everyone. Trust me. And it has nothing to do with intelligence.

A career job at Goodyear could open up a lot of doors, go for it!
