Well, yesterday the snow got the best of me. I was contacted to go to a Norfolk Southern hiring session and really blew it. I left at 5:25am (average speed was about 45mph, Interstate only had 1 clear lane) and made it to Decatur before 8am, but could not find the hotel. The directions I printed out from map quest had the hotel on the opposite side of the city. By the time I found the hotel it was 8:25am. I tried to get in on the session, but one of the NS employees came to the door and said I had missed too much and that I would have to try a different session! Am I doomed or do the railroads give you another chance??
Try again! I pissed off my interviewer (HR person) the first time around. I was the last one to interview and it was obvious that the panel was just going thru the motions. I told them they were wasting my time! I hired out 1 month later at a different location.
I take it you’re wanting to be a conductor, eh? Seems they’re really starting to have tons of hiring sessions for those. I’m hoping they have another one in Pittsburgh…I plan to be there the next time around.
