The whole hiring process took a little more than 4 months. Started with a digital interview, paperwork, phone interview, lots more paperwork in the form of emails, drug tests, vision, hearing, basic physical. Although it might have taken awhile it ultimately went smoothly.

Describe a time when attention to detail was important
I applied through other source. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at CPKC in Nov 2024
Interview
Pretty straight forward. They ask if you have ever worked outdoors or around heavy equipment. They have you read back a script to see if you speak clearly and if they can understand what you’re saying. It’s a 2 part interview as well
