Put in my app, waited for 2 weeks got a call for the assessment portion of the hiring process. Went in to the session they sit you down tell you how bad it can be on your family and how you will be gone a lot but the pay is good. Then they send you on a break and when everyone comes back in they issue the tests. after the test you break again and in my case they posted nine names out of the twenty that tested for follow up interviews. I was lucky enough to get an interview felt like it went well just be honest and down to earth, show them you are a worker. They said we will call in 3-5 business. they waited 5 days lol but i got an email that said congrats we wish to offer you conditional employment. then you complete a background check and a physical. which tacks another 2-3 weeks

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Norfolk Southern (Woodridge VI, AZ) in Nov 2022
Interview
Intense and drug out. Not for the faint of heart. This job is not for the weak and if you aren’t willing to understand that stay away. If you can handle pushing yourself to go to work, have little time off (suck as to sleep) and back at it then apply. No more crying with reviews, they warn you before you start.
A couple written questions, then 2 video interviews. One of them was pre-recorded. They are hiring a lot right now. If you pass you go to Georgia for 2 weeks before going out in the field
