    I was offered this job. It was pending a contract and required relocation to San Diego, CA. I didn't do it. :(

    CA? ya F**k dat....you think maryland is bad with gun laws...cali is WAY worse...sounds like a cool job...but again cost of living in san diego is prob high and that is probably equivalent to minimum wage there

    Same thing w/ me too. Although, I know one of the hiring managers and was told the LM got over 2 million resumes / year and only 2 % were/ are hired. I think they use the SW to match the keywords for the best/most match to the original job ad.

    I can't take that kind of pay cut now.

    I applied for and received a call back about this job at Pax River. Pay was $17.66 an hour and the HR lady would not budge, she said the rate was set by the dept of labor, which I dont understand. If Lockheed is contracting through the government for this job, can the dept of labor really do that? Needless to say, I didn't take the job.
