Hi All,
New to this forum and have been looking at most of the interview posts and all I fine for the UP is a reading comprehension test, is that all? BNSF has 4 test and lets you know in about a week. Did I miss a post? Can someone advise me? I just received the phone call to show up in the 14th and I would like to have a heads up.
Thanks

Yeah, when I went to the hiring session for UP, the only test given was the reading comprehension test. Everyone who qualified on this very basic test was granted a same day interview, so be prepared to wow them during the interview, especially if your group is large and there are a limited number of positions (they will tell you at the beginning how many positions are available so you can get a sense of what your competition will be). I also hear that there are usually 2 people interviewing you; in my case it was the HR person plus the local Trainmaster. At this particular session we were told we would be notified by phone by the end of the same night; your mileage may vary.
