Attend presentation with other applicants. Do one on one interview. If you are one of the few selected you have a job. Although my start date got pushed back a month and I only found out after I arrived on time for my scheduled training. It was an error on company's part but keep in mind if was an applicant that lived out of state or I was relocating this would be a logistical and financial nightmare. They also repeatedly tell you as follows "DO NOT GIVE NOTICE OF RESIGNATION to current employer! You are not guaranteed an offer or have you received an offer of employment from the Union Pacific!" They never actually give you any official "offer of employment" but your hired access official the minute you have a scheduled date for the classes. Prepare to fight the system to get any reimbursement initially. Consider every single word they say about wages and payment a lie or 3 months before actually getting paid.
