I applied in-person. I interviewed at FedEx (Indianapolis, IN) in Sep 2013
Interview
The interview process was very casual. I wore jeans and a nice shirt. You go to the application facility and type your application in on a computer. Then you get your fingers scanned and take a urine drug test. I was called a couple days later and asked if I still wanted the job.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at FedEx (North Salt Lake, UT) in Sep 2012
Interview
There's a huge turn around so pretty much they just wanted to know you were in it for more than a week. After an easy application and training you were in.
I applied in-person. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at FedEx (Phoenix, AZ) in Nov 2009
Interview
It took nearly three months to be contacted after initiating application. A mandatory dock tour was needed. This means you show up about five AM and see what the job is really like. It was odd that no work was in progress during the walk-through. Only after the dock tour were applicants eligible for an official application. The application process could only be done at the work site and times were shortened twice. Eventually, a small time slot of two hours was specified for application. There is not much room to put much experience. Interview with HR Representative was informal. Representative brought up work history and noted two positions at once in the past. Job requirements for lifting and timeliness touched upon. Intent of promotion mentioned with no real response. Education and experience do not matter.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There are no difficult questions for the entry-level Package Handler positions. Questions for any promotional position are also not difficult and found the Senior Terminal Managers do not have needed background that is commensurate in other transportation companies.
