So basically all that have went through and completed phase 1 have to do so again? I had an interview the same week last year everything shut down. Hopefully I wasn’t forgotten about. Good luck to everyone waiting to get started. There was only one class who made it to phase 1 last year. They finished and were supposed to start phase 2 last June July I think. But then it was canceled. Those guys will be the first phase 2. As for phase 1. Not sure if anyone will be called or might have to do S&D again. The tests are usually valid form 12 months. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven’t heard a word since I emailed back last April and they said they hold phase ones several times a year and then it all shut down. Your call for an interview gives me hope but at same time also leads me to believe maybe I wasn’t chosen to move forward since I haven’t heard. Time will tell. Good luck on your interview! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCDubs Posted July 21, 2021 Share #2029 Posted July 21, 2021 I just RSVP my S&D overview for the second weekend of August. I guess everything is starting to move again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francisq94 Posted July 23, 2021 Share #2030 Posted July 23, 2021 Has anyone had their S&D test in February of 2020? Had an Interview in March of 2020 but can’t get a response from anyone in HR as of late. Looks like they are moving forward with new classes to take the S&D test but I haven’t heard anything about any upcoming phase 1’s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCDubs Posted September 11, 2021 Share #2031 Posted September 11, 2021 Completed S&D today. How soon do they notify you the results of the test? I understand that a pool must be established but at least the results will come in before that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then was told to keep studying and they will be in touch. Pandemic stopped all of that. Hopefully they move you along quick. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone who had their S&D test on 9/11 this year been contacted yet? Yes they are going back to people who were on hold due to covid and even further back. I met someone at my physical abilities test just the other day who had his S&D in October 2019, mind you I attended an open house in October 2019 and had my S&D in February 2020. So definitely some catching up they are doing. If you are 100 percent confident you aced the S&D then you will be getting a call, granted there are no hiccups or holdups in the process. I was convinced it was all over for me after a year and a half of no contact after my interview but then the phone rang. Keep studying! Don’t put the material down. You’ll hate yourself if you stop studying and you end up getting called for an interview. If you have any questions just ask me. Good luck! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they look for a few key things in a resume. Customer service is good so retail based jobs are good. Leadership experience is great. Safety sensitive positions that you have previously been in are a plus. Having experience in team setting positions. Having experience operating machines and electrical background is a plus. College is plus too even if it’s just an associate degree. Honestly if you have shown you are a dedicated employee no matter really where you have been or worked then they will more than likely invite you to their open house. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t study or prepare for it. It’s just what it is. Either you know the stuff or you don’t. They want to see a certain number of questions answered correctly. They don’t care if you answer every question or not because you can’t there’s simply not enough time so you tackle what you can. Time and effort through the process will get you through. If I can do it believe me I’m sure you can. I graduated at number 460 out of 470 students in my high school and thought I was unable to achieve anything. All about applying yourself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
