I have also applied with marketing & sales for the grad program, and have to do the online test.

I applied for the m&s co-op program last year and had 3 interviews (!), then did'nt hear from them for months while they were busy restructuring. Was not surprised I did not get a position under Ford's circumstances at the time, however I really appreciated the interview experience! But given the lack of information forthcoming for other peoples experiences as well, this is an area Ford could probably pay a bit of attention to in future?

Everyone I know who has done the co-op program has had an absolute blast. I find it interesting though that Ford do not generally give informal offers of employment outside the grad program to co-op 'alumni'. Even slow moving government departments do it...

Good luck everyone!

Mate thats not good. Borrow some money, its worth a crack if you think you have what it takes. Trust me, if you have personality, and are not a nufty you have a chance, there are so many things you get assessed on.

Good luck everyone. I'm interested in applying for the co-op next year and hopefully I get in I'm not really bothered what company it's with, as long as its in the automotive industry. I might be able to get something from Village Roadshow for the year work experience as I work for Village and they're a pretty big company across Australia and the world.

My friend had a book which listed all the companies that have graduate programs, like a yearly guidebook. Does anyone know where I can get one of these?

This book is always at career fairs and what-not at uni. They have a website also:

www.graduateopportunities.com

Congrats to those who heard back from Ford. No word here one way or the other as yet.
