I applied online. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at FedEx (Grand Forks, ND) in Mar 2014
Interview
I was contacted by a recruitment specialist about a month after submitting an online application. She went through about 5 minutes worth of easy screening questions (can you lift up to 75 pounds with little or no assistance, can you work the hours specified, etc.) She then said a local manager would contact me within a week to ten days. I was contacted by a local manager within 48 hours to set up an interview. We agreed on an interview the day he called, as I was off work from my then current job that day.
I arrived at the interview about 10 minutes early. The interview was very standard with 10 easy questions, which the interviewer read off a packet of papers he had printed out. He wrote down responses and again asked if I could lift 75 pounds and outdoors in all conditions, etc. I asked a few questions about advancement, etc. and then he offered me a job.
I took my drug test and physical two days later. My start date was set two weeks after the interview to give me time to put in my two weeks at the job I had at the time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
All questions were very standard. For example, describe a time in which you had to work under pressure or in a stressful situation and how you handled it?
Straight forward, general questions about previous skill acquired at previous jobs. Really would just like to make sure you are physically and mentally capable of handling the load of time sensitive deliveries and picks-ups.
