I just want to let you know that I am a talent hiring processor for Lockheed Martin in Orlando, Florida and I also plan on transferring to Virginia because I am originally from Connecticut and I really miss the seasons that the North has. My company’s headquarters is located in Bethesda Maryland but the cost of living there is out of my league.

I do want to point out that the people on this thread were not criticizing you for your poor grammar; but I can tell you this…the system of rules by which words are formed and put together to make sentences (a.k.a grammar) is critical at Lockheed Martin. We give our maintenance works test on grammar and math, we give these test to the people who apply for work in the cafeteria too. What I am saying is that if you ever wanted to make $8.00 an hour in Orlando Florida, working at Lockheed Martin; cutting grass, washing dishes, changing trash cans and liners, scrubbing toilets, washing windows, cleaning bathrooms and all other sorts or cleaning and servicing jobs, then I suggest that you take another class or two on grammar so that you can land that job with us. If there are any grammar errors on the resume or application, it will get rejected before it even makes it to my department.

On another note: 40 hours a week times $8.00 an hour is only $320.00 a week, then you will have to minus taxes, insurance, and if Virginia has state taxes unlike Florida, then you will be lucky if you take home $208.00 a week which is only $832.00 a month. (Do you really think that you could pay rent, food, car insurance, gas, phone bill, internet bill, electric, hot water, and heat?)

I hope this helps you in your search and I wish you the best of luck!

Do they subject the white collar, Lockheed Martin employees to the same standards also?
