I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Union Pacific in May 2019
Interview
I was scheduled for a video interview....nobody showed up to interview me. After contacting the company they scheduled another video interview for me, then cancelled it and replaced it with a phone interview. During the phone interview, the recruiter let it slip that all the spots had already been filled.
I expected better than this from UNP.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Union Pacific (Omaha, NE) in Dec 2021
Interview
Very involved process, three panel interview with manager, potential trainer, and a potential supervisor. The interview went very well. Received the offer and went through the background check process. After going through that process and then going through the training, the trainer was not a good trainer at all.
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Union Pacific (Omaha, NE)
Interview
The hiring process was pretty easy for me. I was interviewed once by an HR supervisor and was given an offer. I think it might be a little easier for people having to relocate as in my case. The other apprentice dispatchers I heard had to go through 2 or 3 panel interviews. The hiring process is also competitive.
