Getting hired to the railroad is always a mass hiring event. The official will present information about the company, the benefits, the work environment, aspects of the work environment, and will give notice that drug testing and background checks will be performed. You cannot get hired if you have a felony on your criminal record. Talk about how committed to safety that you are and your willingness to work on weekends, holidays, and perform on a 24 hour on-call schedule.
