The additions are part of a broader push by Lockheed Martin to beef up its employee base around the country. The Bethesda, Maryland-based defense contractor said last week it has hired close to 1,000 people in the last two weeks and is advertising for 5,000 open positions.
Interesting.
The job that made me move from Florida to Kentucky was at an Army helicopter base near Lexington. I worked there as a technical writer for four years, and then when Lockheed Martin took over the base, they laid off most of the employees, including myself, and brought in their own folks from one of their Orlando offices. Since then I have seen them advertise my old job as available, but they made the requirements for it so strict that I got nowhere, when I applied for it. Is there any chance they will add some new jobs in Kentucky, that I would be qualified for?
