All you need is to pass a drug and background check and have a high school diploma.

74hondo is right about BNSF. If you don't get hired the first time don't give up, keep trying. I have been trying to get hired on for years. And my persistence has finally paid off. Recently got hired on in needles, CA for conductor. Good luck on your job search though.

For those that are interested...I know the city of bullhead city will be hiring in the roads dept for 3 full time positions very soon. Just keep an eye on their website for the openings. Kinda far away from you though.

I will check back in when I hear something. Mon thru friday schedule. Min 40 hours. All major holidays off. Must be motivated and self starter. Very low turn around rate. I like it a lot. Not boring.

ive never been to one for BNSF. But i wear the same thing to all ofthem. I wear a full on suit, slacks, button down shirt, tie, vest and jacket. Personally id rather not have someone who is stuck on appearance judge me because i didnt dress up to their standards. and for people who really dont care, you're above the standard

Dress shoes, slacks and a nice button up shirt is plenty. You will be interviewed by people who will be a co-worker, not just a manager. There are people who have been hired wearing jeans a t-shirt and tennis shoes. It's what you say in the interview that counts. It is all day thing usually but lately they have been making it shorter. Let them know you are from out of town and they will usually get you out faster. Just make sure you let them know you will be living close very soon. They don't like to hire distance. It will have a job overview and talk about the work and life style. Then a hair folicle drug test and an interview with a panel of usually three people.

Damn it, I feel bad for those that didn't get the BNSF move forward email. And unfortunately I DID receive one. Actually an Email, text mssg., and phone call, to go interview, but EXTREMELY RELUCTANTLY, with the life changing event of my little girl being diagnosed with Cancer, 4 days after I applied and took the online test, I hatefully have to pass on it.
I just can't imagine my wife and child up here in Washington, going thru what's happening, with me down there in L.A.!!! I can't imagine NOT being by my little girls side during this either.
Maybe with my having to pass, it will open up a slot for one of you guys trying and am able to proceed?
I just can't believe I've been trying to get a "real" job in So.Cal. For 20 some years, and I'm turning it down.
I hope it doesn't hurt my chances in the future when my little girl is all better.
Good luck guys, Ken

In my BNSF interview I wore dress shoes, slacks, long sleeve button up, and a tie. There were people there wearing full on business suits and there were people there just wearing jeans and a t-shirt. I got the job. But I don't know if how I dressed had anything to do with it. Like 74hondo said....it's all about how you answer their questions. Their number one thing is safety. Be sure to mention safety in some way. They want someone that can be a part of their team. Not just an employee. At least that's how my interview made me feel. Good luck.
