when i went for the signalman position at a hiring session in greensboro at a holiday inn, everybody went in, did a ASVAB/general knowledge test, took a break while they graded them. they called us back in, told us who was staying, took another break, and then called us in for an immediate personal board interview, when i went in , it was me in a chair facing 8 of them at a long table, big wigs all corporate NS guys. going over my initial application, asking me 1000 questions, you know what im saying. then interviewed the others, and then we we're told who was offered a job, out of those interviewing. free to leave, and then wait for packages from them for background checks and what not. just to put in perspective, 50 people came to the session, tested; then 10 people passed and we're asked to interview, interviewed; then 4 we're offered jobs. none of them we're at school in mcdonough,ga with me. so i dont think they passed all the background and physical stuff. good luck and be very professional at the interview, remember, these guys interview people for a living!
