I understand some of you might of gotten more than one interview before getting your medical. Is that a good or a bad thing? I only received one interview before being sent to a medical. Anyways I find out tomorrow if I get hired on.

Few exceptions are as follows: You get interviewed by Ed, and the other lady there. That counts as your two interviews. Or, you just impress them enough and you only get the one.

Hmm, no call, even though it says on the website I'm still "in a pool" on the website. Start date is march 14 but I guess I didn't get an offer.

Well, you will know soon. If the start date is for the 14th, you can be called up to 2 weeks prior. That's all the notice I got.

Yeah it is 2 weeks now to start date and no call, so I don't think I'm getting an offer. Oh well, not sure what could be wrong with my history, no work gaps aside from going to college, no criminal, no medical problems. Must be more qualified people that were in the pool I'm guessing. Hopefully I can find work soon  .

How long does it take for them to review? I applied for a few positions on Feb 22, and I still have not been reviewed yet.

I've already turned down a couple jobs in the past month cause I wasn't sure of this CN thing. I wish they would of gave a more direct answer instead of beating around the bush.
I still have one app in for review from 4 months ago, but the one that I got an interview for got reviewed in one night and was offered an orientation the next day.

There will be need, I'm sure, during the summer. Things always pick up then.

Anyone having any issues with the new candidate login system? I can't seem to login or even recover my password. I sent an email, hopefully my status and information are still intact.

High School, and that's about it. Experience in other railways, or heavy industry are an asset though.

I doubt they would spend the money on the medical just to have you wait around for months on end.
