What are the benefits of being a Navigator?

I already had some experience with Firestone from Lake Charles. I enjoyed working for Firestone and I was already interested in pursuing a career with the company. Once I heard about the Navigator program I knew that it was right for me. I got a chance to travel and see every aspect of the company. I also got a great training experience, and an opportunity to find a job where I can best utilize my skills.”

Why did you choose Bridgestone?


“During my last semester at The University of Alabama, I devoted a lot of time and effort toward finding a job in marketing, at a company where I could have a long-term career. After my final interview at HRT (Now ASC), I knew that I wanted to work for Bridgestone/ Firestone. First of all, I found the Navigator Program appealing because it would give me the opportunity to learn about many aspects of the company, therefore helping me to decide what permanent positions would be a good fit for me. Secondly, the people I met during the interview process had a big influence on my decision. Everyone I had contact with was informative, friendly, and professional and that convinced me that the Bridgestone/Firestone culture was right for me. Now that I have been with Bridgestone for a year, I know that I made the right decision by starting my career as a Navigator.”
