Hello,
I have applied to the UP several times over my career, since it seemed right up my ally (Logisitcs, Supply Chain mgnt background). I am not really a "foamer" (if I understand that term correctly), just lots of interest in Transportation.
Got an invitation to an interview later this month. After finding this site and reading through LOTS of posts, I really see nothing but negative reports.
I am 43. I am in excellent physical shape, no background problems, no substance background, etc. I guess I want to know 2 things:
1. Am I really too old to get hired?
2. Do I really WANT to get hired? The reports here seem to indicate endless hours and endless abuse.
I'd love to hear genuine opinions. Thanks, folks
