5,000 applications for 18 Honda jobshttp://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070308/AUTO01/703...

GREENSBURG, Ind. -- Honda Motor Co. received an "overwhelming" response to
the first job openings it posted online for a new plant in southeastern
Indiana, receiving more than 5,000 applications for 18 positions, the
company said.

"We are delighted by the enthusiastic response to our advertisement,"
company spokesman Jeffrey Smith said.

The 18 jobs at the facility planned for Greensburg, about 50 miles from
Indianapolis, were posted on Feb. 21, and the company is continuing to
accept applications for four slots, Smith said.

Honda temporarily stopped accepting applications for 14 jobs so the company
could evaluate the volume of responses it already received, but the
positions may be reopened, Smith said.

The first wave of job recruitment included positions in engineering,
information technology and skilled labor. Job descriptions were posted atwww.indiana.honda.com, and applicants could upload their resumes.

The plant will employ 2,000 people when it ramps up to full production
capacity in the fall of 2008, the company said.

Almost as much competition as for tenure track professorships.
