Interview questions [1]
Question 1
"In your previous work experience, you were not compensated enough for the work performed, please explain."
Filled out an application at distribution center, got a call for an interview a few days later. The interview was one on one with a manager and was very casual without any hard questions. He mostly just wanted to know if I was ready to work hard.
I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at FedEx (San Antonio, TX) in Jan 2012
Interview
Very fast, was interviewed over the phone first the day after I applied online, the in person interview was more of a tour of the operation. You will be asked taking everything into consideration, if working for Fedex would be a good fit for you. After you say yes, there are extensive steps before you begin training. You most get a drug test, criminal background check with fingerprints done, if working at an airport you must take an exam(easy) to recieve a badge and unfortunately everything is done off site but Fedex pays for everything.
