LIRR 154 169 #101 Posted April 14, 2015 I guess I blew the 2nd interview. Extremely disappointing.Dude don't take nothing personal or for granted that it was your fault. Believe me when I say there is alot of politics in the RR especially when it comes to hiring. It may be you or it may not be you. I went for Engineer 3 years ago and I had the panel interview and to find out they told me I didn't pass it. Till this day I still don't know what happened and I was an internal applicant. Right now I'm going through alot of stress over this Yardmaster position that I was next in lined to be called when a spot opened. All I'm saying is don't beat yourself up , try for another position or another craft. Believe me Engineer isn't the best job on the property. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drenyce311 84 #105 Posted April 15, 2015 Not sure. But that's what the HR representative said. She said they will be emailing me in the first week of May when to come in. And also someone I was studying with. He passed as well. He got the call also and the same info. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did you apply for the LET position again after that or did you stop applying for it after you didn't pass the panel the first time?

republic 17 #111 Posted April 19, 2015 They let me apply for Engineer while I wait for an open spot in the Yardmaster roster. So, this was your second time applying for Engineer? Is is the second application that you're referring to when you say you weren't called backup after the panel? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LIRR 154 169 #118 Posted April 22, 2015 Hey lirr 154 thanks for that post I'm keeping my head up. Just sucked to get close. I knew if I had gotten into phase 1 I would be good. There'd be no way i was washing out if I got passed that 2nd interview. Hey dre what's ur emailI know the feeling and keep trying. They will need more Engineers in the years to come. Or just to get your foor in the door try go for a Station appearance maintainer position or Cam position. Many employees come come in from one craft and switch to another craft after their first year of probation. So, this was your second time applying for Engineer? Is is the second application that you're referring to when you say you weren't called backup after the panel?First time.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I sent it a few weeks ago. I'll do it again. No word yet on the interview. HR said they will contact me in the beginning of May when to come in for an interview.

drenyce311 84 #122 Posted April 24, 2015 Hey Silent Jim I'll be thereCongrats to both of you! silent Jim and Miguel. Advice be on time and listen to instructions. There will be a few clowns in there asking questions for the obvious answers. And they pretty much tell you the answers to your questions. But there are some people that will ask anyway when they just mentioned it. Lol. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miguelr28724 1 #123 Posted April 24, 2015 I'm pretty sure this was discussed already. But what's the difference between engineer and conductor? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thunderpants 1 #124 Posted April 24, 2015 I'm pretty sure this was discussed already. But what's the difference between engineer and conductor? Really? Maybe you should apply as a CAM. Do you know what a toilet is? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LIRR 154 169 #125 Posted April 24, 2015 I'm pretty sure this was discussed already. But what's the difference between engineer and conductor? I'm not being sarcastic or mean spirited but if you don't know the difference then my advice to you is to do some heavy research in Railroading on your spare time before you go in.Just a little advice , you must do some reading up on different positions before you apply. That's a question you should know and again I'm not being mean. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
