Volkswagen To Hire 50 People This Summer For Chattanooga Plant

Volkswagen ruined our lives in Western Pennsylvania when they left in 1988. They went because they could get cheaper labor in Mexico. My parents never fully recovered since they left 20 years ago. Many of the kids I knew whose parents worked for volkswagen ended up divorced or moving away. My dad has done the best he can taking jobs and is now a few years from retirement age. When VW closed he was making $16.00/hour. He has never made that much since the plant closed in 1988. Now, 20 years later we all still hate them and you don't see us driving VW's though we owned three in the eighties. We were proud to say "my dad built that car." Good luck to all who work there in Tennesee. You are going to need it!

Currently enrolled as a full-time student in the automotive technical program located at Lawson State Community College in Birmingham, AL. On schedule to graduate with an Associates in Automotive Technology by May 2009. I am very interested in meeting with VW employers to see if I am qualified for assembly line production worker. I am also on track to graduate as an ASE Master Technician.

If you read over these comments, most of which are job information requests and pleas, I am amazed at the general errors in the sentences, spelling and grammer. Let us not reason with the purpose of the comment box is too comment on the article and story and not a direct job placement service. God Help us.

"love ot come home" should be "to". No caps in the paragragh.

"employment" should learn how to spell his career, "electrontic".

"I have worked for my dad" sells should be sales and can't spell "CHATANOOGA".

"intrested in working for volkswagon". Well I find it hard to believe she has lived in "Michiagan" since she can not spell it.

Chances are these folks are asking here about the jobs because they lack the education or, as "intrested in working for volkswagon" says, "experince" to complete the job application process as been all over the news in the past few weeks.

With Limited jobs, we need a better bunch then these. Please take no offence to my comment.

Most of these posters should run down to the nearest Tennessee Career Center and get the job finding skills needed to be able to compete with the literally hundered of thousands of applications that will be processed over the next few years to fill the 2000 jobs.
