I just attended hiring sessions for both BNSF and NS in chicago and I got to say that it sure seems like they are trying to fill the minority quota. At least BNSF was trying to fill 15 people for a class of which 70 showed. NS on the other hand, only wanted 3 people and 91 people showed up. It sure seems like a huge waste of time and money for just 3 people. Needless to say, I was turned down for both. Any Human Resources folks here who can help me out with tips and secrets to getting hired?
