I applied for the Handler/Dot position and after I applied I received an email. The email states that I have to proceed to the FedEx station near where I live at either 11am or 2pm sharp on a Monday to fill out an application. Now the interesting thing it says is that ONLY the first 30 applicants will be admitted to each session. How many people usually fill out applications for FedEx and how early will people be there? Would an hour early not be early enough or do you see people camp out overnight?
Thanks
I'm not sure about the 'first 30 people' thing, but its probably because of the economy.
Its been a few years now but I remember when I applied for courier it'd be a 4-hour process and IT WAS. You fill out a pretty extensive application which asks your last 10 years of employment and such, then take a series of tests.
I think there was a written test for everyone (handlers were applying with me) that was a general understanding test with stupid questions like 'if a delivery company picked up a package to be delivered next business day on a Friday what day would it arrive?'
The Courier part, If I remember right, tacks on a routing test, a direction test, and remembering test and a personality test.
Routing was basically 'if a Package has an "A" it goes to 3, if a package has a "B" it goes to 2, etc. etc. and then you get 60 seconds and a list of 90 packages with different codes to put where they're going (using the key). Its not as hard as it sounds.
Direction was a map of a town and had a series of questions asking the most efficient route.
The remembering test was an audible test that you listened to then responded on paper with the answer recalling the information you heard.
The personality test was just a bunch of 'what ifs' regarding general life.
I feel like I need to warn you. You just tipped your toes in the water applying online. It took Fedex
2 MONTHS to call me back and I've heard its taken them longer to call others. When you get an interview you'll know you're almost in.
I hope all goes well for you and I hope that the process is fast and easy!
