For everyone trying to get on with BNSf. If you don't get on the first try, KEEP trying! I know it can be discouraging. It took me way too long, but, for what I do and what I get paid. It is worth it. Keep your chin up guys.

Is a big deal if you don't have a cover letter on your resume page? And it says you can't apply for the same position til after 6 months

« **Reply #55 on:** May 24, 2014, 11:08:23 PM »

The cover letteris no big deal. The six month thing confuses people because they aren't clear. If you apply for a position, INTERVIEW, and get denied, then you cannot apply for the same position for six months. Any other condition you can apply as often as you want.

Thanks! I'll keep my fingers crossed still. I'm working now, just tired of phoenix and looking for a change. How's Barstow?

Wanting to move "back home" to So.Cal., I applied for the track repair maintenance position, in Pico Rivera.
But with the curve ball life has hit me with, even if they are interested in me I may have to pass on it. Although a "real" So.Cal. Job is been my goal since 1985.
Good luck to you with your search.
Ken

I put in for that one also. I would love to live in so cal because I am sick of the az heat and sun every freakin day. I can't move put there for a 10.00 an hour job so this would be awesome if I could get on board...lol

Barstow would be a down grade from pheonix

LOL! Well if I got on there you can always move up from there! Its close to the river though.

« **Reply #61 on:** May 25, 2014, 06:05:09 PM »

I think there were 2 or 3 openings on that track maintenance position? It would be cool for them to hire two "out of towners" willing to move, be maintenance noobies, and both have drag boats, to have fun in SoCal!! Ha ha!

« **Reply #62 on:** May 25, 2014, 06:35:34 PM »

Getting in is the big part. You can transfer after the first year.

Touché !!!!

I could deal with Barstow for that long if it came down to it.

I didn't make it for 2 that I applied for. Going to keep trying though. Maybe reduce resume and make a cover letter will help

« **Reply #65 on:** May 30, 2014, 09:12:38 AM »

I still haven't heard for the 3 I applied for.

Just keep trying guys, we get hundreds of applicants for each job posting.

Look into applying in the elevator union. We should be hiring a lot real shortly with all the high rises going up. Look up IUEC local 18. Also utilize the helmets to hard hats program. I used that program and got right in. Not sure how it works now. Starting pay for a helper is like 23-24 bucks and journeymen get 49 bucks. Great benifitS too.
