Chrysler Starts New Website for Job-Hunters

As the economic story of the bailed out auto industry continues, Chrysler is one of the ones that has consistently reported a strong comeback. Due to that, they have been able to increase workers at their plants and add new shifts to keep up with the new influx of demand. Chrysler is still looking for more people to join their team and to do that, they have created the only website in the big three of car makers to be accepting applications for jobs.

According to the Detroit Free Press, the new website, www.chryslercarerrs.com, is taking applications for both hourly and salaried workers. They are looking to fill 2,350 manufacturing jobs within the next year in both Detroit and Toledo. This differs from the other companies in that Chrysler isn’t using referrals from employees. The auto maker is hiring only from applications made online.

The new site offers a change from the previous method Chrysler used. The old way of doing things was meant to avoid having too many applications at once, so the openings would only appear for a short time, forcing applicants to keep a constant eye open to spring at a moments notice when a job would appear. Now the applicants simply register with their interest for certain jobs, even if they are not posted on the site. Chrysler will then send them an email when a position that matches their skills and interest has an opening.

For anyone looking to be employed by the auto industry now that they are coming back from the brink, this is certainly something to be excited about. It’s a much easier way of being able to find the job you want without keeping a hawk’s eye on the computer screen and pressing refresh every two minutes.

All of the Chrysler vehicles are available for viewing online at the Bayside Chrysler Jeep Dodge show-room. Like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter to see the current news as it happens.

Homeless Mother’s Gets A Donated Van to Replace Her Stolen One

Hard times are the focus of many news stories these days. They aren’t exactly the hardest to find, not with so many people struggling with mortgages and the like with the current economic woes. Take this news story for example, a mother in Kansas City who has hit hard times. For the time being, Nicole Scott and her seven children have been staying at the reStart homeless shelter while she attempts to get out of her troubles. If that wasn’t enough, her car was stolen just a few months ago while it was parked at the shelter. For someone searching for a job, it’s a total loss.

What’s really shocking about this story is the twist that turns it from a tragedy to a success. True that Nicole Scott is having a struggle of putting her life back together with her children, but she was given quite the shocking surprise when she was invited to go with others from reStart to accept a reconditioned van that was being donated. At the presentation, Scott was asked to come up and what happened next was something she had no idea was coming. There was a second van being given away. A 2000 Chrysler Town and Country was going to be her’s.

“And then when y’all called me over there and said it was mine, it was like, ‘oh, for real?’ I just want to thank everybody. I’ll really enjoy it and my kids are going to love it,” she said about the gift. “I can do what I need to do now. Go find me a job and stay on top of my business.”

The group that donated the vans were students from the Northwest Iowa Community College. They were in Kansas City for the annual SkillsUSA National Leadership and Skills convention. The students call their group the Charitable Chariots and it takes a good two months to get the vans in proper working order.
