Behavioral Technical Other
The interview process started with a phone screening by Talent Acquisition, followed by two departmental phone interviews. Then there was an in-person interview with the hiring manager. A behavioral assessment was completed online. The phone interviews were about half an hour long. The interview at corporate headquarters felt a bit perfunctory; it started late, the questions were repetitive from the phone interviews, and the secondary session wasn't very organized and it tested skills related to the job. It was a worthwhile experience, though I'm not sure I'd apply to this corporation again.

Behavioral Technical
You begin by applying online at www.csx.com, then go to careers. You'll need to submit a detailed resume, complete a competency-based questionnaire, and then take some computer-based assessments that need focus and quiet. After submitting your application, you might have a phone interview or attend a hiring session. Be ready to talk about your past work and how it fits the job. CSX has five leadership principles: Thought, People, Results, Self, and Technical Leadership. Expect questions on any of these. The last interview is usually a panel with HR, the hiring manager, and a close colleague. This is a behavioral interview. Dress professionally, be on time, and bring notes and extra resumes. Research CSX, read articles about railroads, and learn about the specific job.
