I applied for the position online, late on a Friday night 7/19/13. From what I've read on here, I was expecting at least a 2 week wait to hear back, if at all. So I was pleasantly surprised to get a call 10 days later on Monday, 7/29 from a recruiter in Atlanta (who spoke in monotone as she left what sounded to be a tired and oft-repeated message with her contact info.). She called my cell at 9:30am but unfortunately I missed the call.
When I tried to return her call, I kept getting a recorded request to enter my "ID" and "password" first (she hadn't made mention of such codes, so I wasn't able to contact her). I tried all day and got the same recording until I tried one last time after 5pm, at which time my call miraculously went straight to her voice mail. In spite of leaving my name & number (and an FYI about the "ID" & "Password" conundrum), she did not return my call. I did try to call twice more that week but she never returned my call.
I assumed that her job may be to call a list of potential interviewees until her roster was full. Therefore I may not have made the cut because I called back too late. It would be nice to have some insight as to that recruiting process. It's a shame to have missed a great opportunity because I missed that phone call. Incidentally, even if I had been able to take her call at the time, I would not have recognized the out-of-state phone number and therefore would not likely have surmised it might be FedEx about a local job. But now I know and this is why I'm posting this info so that others who are applying might be informed and aware.
Today I applied for another local courier position. I'll update this posting if/when I move along in the process. Fortunately, all of my resume data I initially entered had been saved by Fed Ex so the online application process for this job was very expeditious! Looks like Fed Ex knows how to speed things along in all regards!
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at FedEx (Saskatoon, SK) in Aug 2013
Interview
1. After submitting an online resume and cover letter you will likely get a phone call that will include a short over the phone pre-interview.
2. If successful you will receive an in-person interview and you will be asked to bring a high-school transcript and a recently obtained record of your driving (transcript).
3. If you are still successful, you will be asked to take a driving test, much like you do for a regular driving license. This will typically be in a car, not a FedEx Van. At the same time you need to go online and give FedEx the OK to do a background check.
4. If you are hired, you will be on a 6-month probationary period.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Behavioral: Describe a situation where you had to deal with a difficult customer and did not do a very good job of satisfying their needs.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at FedEx (Philadelphia, PA) in Dec 2012
Interview
Phone Interview. Panel interview. The interviewers are very thorough so prepared to provide specific examples of sales successes, failures, and challenges. The questions are rapid fire from four panel members. They will provide many instances for you to "close the sale" and ask for the position. I did not do this as it was one of my first sales interviews. However, upon looking back on the process, it is fairly obvious that this is what they wanted.
