I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at CSX (Jacksonville, FL) in Sept 2011
Interview
After receiving an email stating I needed to take a pre-employment assessment test, I had 48 to complete. The test consisted of a large section of personality traits then comprehensive reasoning and mathematical questions. The total assessment lasted about an hour and 45 minutes so give yourself plenty of time and a quiet place. The one downfall I have found about the application process is everything is only PC compliant. Very difficult to complete since I am a Mac user. Needs to get with the times and offer the availability to submit using Apple OS. About 4 days after completing the pre-employment assessment I received a phone call from Denise in HR who wanted to set up a 30 minute phone interview with Matrell Sanders who seemed to be the gatekeeper to the company. The Ms. Sanders called promptly at the scheduled time and kept the interview very short and to the point. The questions covered my past work experience, why I want to work for CSX, and a couple scenario questions. The next process is suppose to be a one on one with an sales executive then the top candidates would complete a case study. CSX is looking to finalize the hiring by the first of October so would be a month long process. I am still waiting on the one on one interview and figure I will not be receive one. Maybe will get one next time!

Question 1
How did you persuade someone to do something at a past job?
I applied through university. I interviewed at CSX
Interview
The interviewers were very professional and kind people. When I attended final rounds I had a current Inside Sales Representative show me around and direct me to my interviews. My future coworkers were awesome, like-minded and driven individuals. They all had smiles on their faces and were genuine.
