Boeing is hiring, apply online

If you’re interested in building airplanes at Boeing’s North Charleston plant, set your clocks for midnight Friday. That’s when up to 3,000 people can submit applications online to become 787 Dreamliner assemblers and fabricators.

But you better move quick and be willing to wait for an opening.

ReadySC, the state-run program that trains potential Boeing employees, will stop accepting applications after it has received its quota. And from that haul, Boeing wants a pool of only 1,000 qualified job seekers from which to hire going forward.

Boeing spokeswoman Candy Eslinger emphasized that the hiring process is not immediate but encouraged anyone interested in a career with the Chicago-based aviation giant to apply first thing Saturday morning.

“It’s easy, the application process is,” she said Wednesday. “So I would encourage people to do that quickly.”
