hi all. So I recently applied for an Amtrak Signal Helper(One prerequisite was automotive technician experience which I have 5 years experience and are a ASE master technician so thought it was perfect for me). I applied about a month and got a phone call that I would be sent a test. Well 4 days I Finally was sent a test a employment test on Thursday, which I had 3 days to respond and if I past it would get an interview. I took it on Friday and felt really good about it, now I have to wait for Amtrak to respond to it. How long does it take for them to respond to you whether you failed or passed. And if I passed and am lucky enough to get an interview, any tips on what I should say shouldn't? Id appreciate any help!

It seems that Amtrak is now switching their pre employment testing to online via email. This is a brand new practice that IMO, should have been used long ago. Short answer, no one knows.

Assuming you've passed, be ready for the call at some point following the new year.

Cheers!
