It is all dependent on how your interview went. Call HR (you have the number) and ask them to put you in touch with the recruiter, only that person can give you info on what your status is.

was told buy a friend who works for metronorth and he spoke to the recruiter that they were going to contact me for the job in a few weeks but that was almost three weeks ago.

Hi, I took the signal trainee test on May 10,2012. I was supposed to be on to the background check.However, I was never called for an interview. Is it normal for them to take so long? I worked for another railroad and resigned on my own after four months(family Emergency) could that be a reason for denial.

Why not call Human resources and get real answer ? Railroads and specially Government owned once, take their sweet old time.

Hey boss, not sure if you're still active on this account but I'm taking the test in 2 weeks and would love to know what the test consists of. Is it basic electrical? Or do i have to know train signals?
