Just Jack Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Local competition fierce for limited number of engineers Local competition fierce for limited number of engineers As hundreds line up for jobs at Lockheed Martin, smaller companies may lose out. Wednesday, January 19, 2005 By Charley Hannagan Staff writer More than 700 people interviewed for engineering jobs at Lockheed Martin Tuesday. But good news for Lockheed could be bad news for smaller local companies. The nationwide shortage of engineers is playing out in companies across Central New York as workers jump from one job to the next, local business people said. Lockheed Martin, in Salina, needs 500 engineers in a variety of disciplines - right away - to handle multimillion-dollar defense contracts. Syracuse Research Corp., in Cicero, needs 150 workers, mostly engineers, for positions across the country. --complete article at the link above-- Lockheed Martin careers page Syracuse Research careers page MONY careers page InfiMed careers page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor offices have been doing that around here. They'll pay for a persons school, as long as that person signs an agreement to work for them for several years after graduation.

sweet baboo Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 I think that option has been offered to me, but I'm guaranteed to finish my doctorate before next summer, so it's safer for me to stick it out...transferring elsewhere could lead me to be stuck without a PhD for years as for working for a company for several years, i personally like job security, so if I liked the company, I'd like to stay with them for as long as possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
