And BUMP!

Third class JUST started, CN has another posting out for another 25 people. Posting up as of July 12, 2010.

Please know that you will not have very good seniority in the short term, but if you choose to stick it out as a career, it won't matter in a few years time.

Any revsceners get hired?

i got hired on 4 years ago and now im a locomotive engineer. If you guys have questions i can probably answer them.

How do you like the jump from Conductor to Engineer? (besides the pay increase :p) Since it requires you to be away from home a bit more?

Anything else you'd be willing to share would be cool. You're the first Engineer I've been able to talk to.

I've been debating back and forth about applying to be a Conductor (with the intent to become an Engineer at some point) but the weird hours, and not really knowing when you'll be working next is a bit of a worry (espically with a stupid mortgage :( )

If I applied once, do I have to reapply. They do have my file already.

Check the website. It should tell you if you're last application was closed and if you are required to apply again.

mine says not reviewed lol

Yeah, throw in the application again. Worst that can happen is they say no.

just got contacted for screening next week, anyone else going? anyone know what the test is about, what I should be expecting?

^Same!

same here, woot. noob question, but what do ppl wear to these things? should i wear my carhartts and my work boots or dress shirt?

Contacted as well!! woo hoo! Can anyone advise what we need to do to prepare for the requisite testing? When are you guys invited to go? I was e-mailed to come in on Tuesday at 1030am

Personally, I went in a suit, no tie. At least go in slacks and a collared shirt. PM me if you have any specific questions please.

Oh, and for anyone who has gotten in, or who gets in, throw me a line and let me know!

^ Pull some strings? :D

Hah, I wish I could. I don't even have strings to pull!

also went to the 1030 class today, passed the test, interview is tommorow. How did you guys do? hope you guys weren't 1 of the 4 that failed today

^^ yeah i was there... when she started calling out names.. I was like oh shit don't call my name out haha! Test wasn't was so bad just not enough time to finish.. I'm getting an over the phone interview because I can't make it in person tomorrow. Sounds like a very interesting job. Looking forward to it if I make it. Good luck to everyone!

Man, I overdressed..

Best of luck with the interviews

^ What do you mean by overdressed?
