Default Anyone ever work for CN rail?

hey everyone,

anyone ever work for CN rail? so if you did how long did it take for you to get on? I was wondering because I applied a month ago and did my interview, they were impessed, did my medical and drug test and passed no problem, had perfect references and never got a call back. I contacted the boss here in town, then contacted his boss and he said he would look into it, called the HR person in edmonton for about 2 weeks and left messages and still no reply. Just a little frustrated.

Well I can't say for sure about CN, but if they're anything like CP, it's not the quickest process. That being said, suppose it depends what position you are looking at, but when I worked for them, it was about a 3-4 month process from the initial testing to the time that I started. Hang in there, good luck

Hi, my boyfriend got through the testing process and now has an interview. Since you went through all that and passed, can you tell me what the interview entails? What kind of questions are asked?

Considering that post was from 2 and a half years ago and they're not even a member here anymore ... probably not.
