Interview Details Human Resources did an excellent job with briefing me on the position and follow-up. I never had an unanswered question or and concerns that were not addressed. They made sure that I would not only understand the role I was applying for but become comfortable with the decision. They asked many behavioral questions and dissected your entire résumé

Interview Details We were interview individually at the end of a hiring session. All the questioning was straight forward and job experience related.

Negotiation Details – All negotiation was taken care of through the collective barganing agreement with the United Transportation Union.

Interview Details 1st round was an on-campus interview that had been set up by career services. This round was pretty straight forward the recruiter asked Why UP? What do you know about UP? And other basic resume questions. Also asked Are you familiar with Pivot Tables, Excel, SQL, etc?
2nd round was in person at their headquarters in Omaha. They take care of all of the expenses etc. You interview with the Audit & Finance department and its a mixture of 1:1 and panel. Everyone asks the same questions over and over. Nothing difficult just about resume, Why UP?, How do you feel about Omaha?

Interview Details basic english and math testing. Comprehensive multiple chpoice questioning. If cannot answer within specified time limit testee has mentality issues. Easy test to pass.

Interview Details I have applied for multiple positions to progress my career with little success. I was afforded an interview for an opening. The interview went well. I was very comfortable, and had no difficulty answering any of the questions in the interview. I felt that the candidate for the position was selected before the hiring process began and the interview was a formality only to prevent potential equal opportunity concerns. The job posting even mentioned specific details that revealed who would be hired in the position. I am no psychic, but I have a near perfect track record of accurately predicting who gets hired for internal positions in my department.

Interview Details Okay after passing the OMT test (you passed it right?), i was flown out to Roseville, CA for the 2nd interview. We met w/ HR director of western region @ 07.00; interview consisted of director and terminal manager. 2 panel interview. Breakfast is provided in the conference room where you wait, also if you want to stand out. (Sit in the middle table =)).

Some other pointers-
I asked the person interviewing me, what do you look for in candidate?
No particular order

1. Someone who takes charge of the situation.
2. People person, someone who can manager situations and take control. & tell employees what to do.

To get this job, you have to provide your experiences of how you dealt w/ difficult scenarios and how you fixed them. You have to convey to your interviewer your problem solver & leader @ least that’s how my interview went.

Interview Details Started with a reading comprehension test. Once you pass, depending on the locations you applied for, you will get an hiring session invite. Be warned, once you accept an invitation to a hiring session, if you have applied for any other location, it will automatically cancel and you will not be considered for 6 months... The interview process starts with a safety briefing. Then they give you the doom and gloom speech. After that, they give you an interview time. Depending on how many people is there, your interview could last from 10 to 30 minutes, more so around 15 to 20 minutes. They ask the EXACT same questions from the application.

Interview Details Interview process is somewhat extended. Employees are first sourced through a recruiting session or apply online. If selected for the next round, candidates are brought in and given a series of tests--Operations Management Battery Test--which is essentially some technical/math/reading comprehension key indicators. A personality test is also given to see if you are the right fit for the position. Afterwards you are interviewed one-on-one to screen out any other candidates. Folllowing, you will be contacted and requested to interview will some "higher ups" --from there the interview process is highly varied, but focuses on your intentions, hypotheticals, and background.

Negotiation Details – They will contact you via email with an offer. My offer was generous, fair value, and I accepted. Pay was not discussed during the interview process, but I did know the market value of the position I was applying for.
