How to give this application a real chance

  • Name a route or discipline you would actually work. “Rail generally” is weak. Safety and operations: a time you followed a procedure when it was inconvenient.

Questions they often ask

Draft these on the campaign after you save. You still paste the answers on the employer’s site.

  1. Safety call you would make.
  2. Customer who never rides a train — the operator.
