2ride Posted April 2, 2022 Share #1701 Posted April 2, 2022 Anybody who just recently applied to the 2022 opening heard back yet? I know back in 2016 or 2017, there were a few people who got invites right away (like the first or second day), which was kind of ridiculous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the real hard part. it was a big class prob about 60-70 ppl…I’d estimate about half passed. Wish everyone could’ve made it but I think the cognitive exam was a little tricky..I just skipped anything I didn’t know and moved on to answer questions I could because of the time limit. If you do get called sometime in the future just brush up on multiplication and everything else is random can’t tell you what to study for really… I received an email about a Recruitment Event for tomorrow and there were forms to complete. So is this for an aptitude test? Have you already interviewed? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So now I'm wondering what comes after the test. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also applied for the same position back in 2021. Wow that fast? Thats crazy for a Railroad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCB Posted April 24, 2022 Share #1708 Posted April 24, 2022 So we got our S&D booklet. So Im not sure if this may work for you, but I created a powerpoint for each definition and signal, this way the answer comes up when you click. Maybe you can try it. Also, I can study on my phone while travelling as well. Good luck and happy studying!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bp98 Posted August 20, 2022 Share #1715 Posted August 20, 2022 (edited) I've been hearing through the grapevine that the RR is having issues getting people to pass the S&D exams. They're going through thousands of people just to get 24 for a class. Here is your friendly reminder to everyone that either is or will eventually be in the process: STUDY!! It's worth it, trust me. See u on the rails. Edited August 20, 2022 by bp98 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDG171 Posted January 15, 2023 Share #1725 Posted January 15, 2023 Hey everyone! I've been lurking for a while, but I finally got an invite to the open house for A/C on Jan. 23rd. I'm really excited to get the process started! This might seem like a silly question, but this is an entirely new industry for me and I want to make sure I have all my ducks in a row. What is the dress code for the open house? I'm assuming that it's a given that jeans and sneakers are out, but what level of formality is expected? Suit and tie, khakis and polo, something in-between? Any insight you guys can provide would be greatly appreciated, thanks!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
