Hello everyone...I am new to this forum, seeking information for self-edification.
I am in my early 30's, and from California. I have a BA. Unfortunately, there's not many jobs to be had in CA right now. I have been looking at re-locating out of state for a while now, but obviously would need a job to do so
Consequently, I applied, not thinking I'd seriously be considered, for a conductor trainee position in Gillette Wyoming. I passed the initial screen, then took the computer-based assessment. I got an email and phone call today inviting me to the informational and hiring event in Gillette on 2/11/13. I was wondering, what can I expect from this event? What is the likelihood that I would be extended an offer, provided all other things came back as okay? How many do they typically hire from these events, and how many do they typically invite? What is the starting pay like? What kinds of things should I study up for to sound knowledgeable in my interview? They said that it will be an informational period, followed by an aptitude test, followed by an individual interview, and a hair-follicle drug screening test. What would be a likely time-frame if all of that went well to progress to the next step? What type of work should I expect to do as a conductor trainee?
If someone could provide feedback, that would be most helpful. Thanks!
