They are interviewing yesterday, today, and tommorrow. They said there are 9 jobs for 120 applicants. I don't know what happened yesterday, but in my session only 5 people got interviews out of about 40-50 people. Only 5 passed the written test! Of the five of us one guy was pretty young and kept talking about his love of trains...I just sat there quiet. Anyway, I was the 4th interview out of 5. All of the interviews were 5 min or less in length. I think I did ok but the questions that were asked gave me no opportunity to sell myself so I am a little confused and don't know what to think. They asked a few questions about safety, why do I want to work for UP, what is my current work schedule, asked about working outside, and if I had any prior arrests...thats it! Like I said, they have another set of interviews tommorrow and they will call us from 4-7 tommorrow if we get the job. If we are offered we have to go back Fri. for the physical tests, drug screen, etc. On has gotta think that if there were that many fails today then the other days hopefully were just as bad. Got my fingers crossed!
