The interviewer didn't ask any preliminary questions. He stuck to a predetermined set of questions. These questions ranged from situations where you acted as a leader & how you tell others what to do when you have no direct authority over them. Also asked questions such as "How would you compensate for a 5% increase in volume that was not originally budgeted for?" and "Once a report is submitted to the CFO and you find an error what do you do? Even if it is 'only $1 million' on a $7 billion project/budget" as well as some basic financial questions pertaining to NPV, IRR, and MIRR.

Interviewed Jun 2011 (took 3 weeks)
Applied internally using the internal process. FedEx typically fills positions first internally. The interview for external and internal candidates is similar.
For internal interviews, the process is fairly short. Positions are posted for 2 weeks. Hiring managers validate candidates are meeting the minimum requirements to participate through a review of the personnel file.
The interview process typically consists of a presentation and behavioural questions. The presentation is on a topic that is provided a few days in advance of the interview. It is strongly encouraged to consult with others in developing the answer to this interview question.
The interview uses a panel format. The hiring manager is assisted by a colleague or superior. Depending on the level of the position for which one is interviewing, HR will be present or not.

Supplemental applications are used to determine who gets an interview. It isn't strictly seniority. The more FedEx computer systems you have knowledge of the better. The interview asks a lot of questions that pertain to station and courier ops but most are really just common sense but phrased to include the lingo. Besides being a phone interview, it was also a panel interview. It feels strange to speak and have them be writing your answers but once you get the rhythm of it it becomes easier.
When answering make sure you include your past experience. For example say something like 'when I was a handler I had to run the versus reports and make corrections so I can use that skill to interpret the onroad productivity reports.' Just as long as you also mention that you communicate, communicate, communicate. Try to use that in each answer as well. Most of the questions were of the 'tell us about a time you...' variety.

Interviewed Jul 2009 in Ontario, CA (took a day)
As with most jobs, getting the interview is more about connections than qualifications. They do require applicants to be at least 18 years of age and have a high school diploma, though. The interview itself is more of a health screening. They ask questions like: "can you lift packages up to 75 lbs. by yourself?" and "are you able to work in extreme weather conditions?". Those are two of about four questions they ask you in total, and the other two will be the same type of questions.

Quantitative focus during the interviews. Interviewers were looking for analytical skills kind of work experience. Although the title says Marketing, it is a good corporate strategy kind of role.
Telephonic interview.

Interviewed Nov 2009 in Memphis, TN (took a day)
I was contacted directly by the hiring manager. I was flown to Memphis and spent the night at a nearby hotel at their expense. A panel interview was conducted the next day which consisted of questions focused on my past and current skills as they related to the position. The interview was then followed by a skills test administered by lead-level employees to whom I would be assigned. I was offered the job via telephone two days after the interview. Time from initial contact to provisional job offer: 10 calendar days. Overall perception: clean and well-maintained office, the people were friendly, professional but stuffy work environment.
Reason for Declining
Overall, the initial offer only slightly exceeded my current base salary, but did not pay for overtime as my current employer does. The health benefits were the same, but slightly more expensive than those of my current employer. They also offered to pay for the relocation expenses. Despite the lower overall compensation, I was willing to relocate to be closer to family. They told me they were "in a hurry" to fill the position, but when what they thought was a generous offer turned out to be less than my current compensation, salary negotiations slowed to a crawl. I provided responses within 24 to 48 hours because they were "in a hurry", but had to wait weeks for their responses so they could "get approval from higher up" to negotiate a higher salary. In the end, it seemed like a lot of work to uproot my family to get less than what I already have just to be closer to home, so I broke off negotiations and declined the offer. I was also disappointed with how I was being treated.
