The process took 2 days. I interviewed at FedEx (Des Moines, IA) in May 2010
Interview
Initial interview was a personal tour of the facility during the AM sort (normally, it's a group tour, but someone messed up the calendar when it came to mine, and gave me the wrong info). Sat down afterwards with the hiring manager and the following day with the AM sort supervisor. To a certain degree, they're mainly looking for bodies. However, that said, they're also looking for dependability and people who aren't afraid to get their hands dirty. Show them that you're dependable and that you're not scared to sweat a little, and you'll probably be fine. Be courteous and be nice.

Interview
I applied online and the next day I received a call to schedule an interview over the phone. Interview questions were simple and I was informed of orientation information. Orientation is required - it's 8 hours long where you're sitting and watching training/safety videos (paid time). Last hour of orientation they introduced us to the team we would be working under and we worked as a package handler for about 45 minutes.

Question 1
They mainly asked questions regarding the physical requirements of the job - (can you work while squatting, bending for multiple hours at a time, ect.) The only question they asked not related to the job (if you can physically do the job basically.) was how do you handle conflict.
