I have been applying fo BNSF for years. I have been rejected at least 45 times over. I have been turned away most recently 7 times since the new BNSF recruitment site went up. In 2005 I applied for the very first time. I applied in Seattle for Signal Apprentice. I received notice quickly as to the next steps in the process. I drove to Seattle and had an interview, went well. I had a test as well I just do not recall the order in which it all took place. I had a second interview and was told I was being offered a position. I never did any doctors office stuff. Unfortinately something came up in my life which would not allow me to fulfill my obligation to the RR. I contacted the HR department and sated such, I thanked them for their time and apologized. The reason was not a choice I made, it was made for me. I talked with a lady from BNSF and she said when asked if I was flagged "you should'nt still be, that was a long time ago". She also stated that my resume needed to be more in depth, basically not like a normal resume.....just go into detail. I went into detail, my profile is up to date.
My 13 year history is working in the emergency room, on an ambulance and as a volunteer Lt. Firefighter?EMT. Prior to that I was working in the automotive industry installing hoist both surface and subsurface applications. I was a "hydraulic and pneumatic plumber" installing huge tank farms and elaborate air and oil systems. I have operated many different types of machinery, limited but have knowledge of most. Welding, not certified but do it at the house and had to do it fabricating fixtures for oil reels.
I have tons of accolades from the fire service and hospital. I have leadership in my past, mechanical expereicnce, certified Harley Davidson Mechanic. What else do I need to do? Am I really screwed becasue of the 2005 situation? Please give me some advice!
