fedex hiring process

I already interviewed with fedex and they sent me an email for take a drug test but i have not recieved a formal offer. Does this mean i will get one??

lori in Dallas, Texas said: Yes they don't send you down for a drug test unless they are going to hire you...Good Luck

what kind of drug test is it? urine or hair?

FedX hiring practices are astonishing. They have no problem wasting your time.

FEDX Advertises a job that really doesn't exist just so they can fill their "potential employee funnels". FEDX makes you show up for an entire day of testing with 40 other down-and-out people in the room just so they can put you in a funnel for a potential job that may come up 6 months from now.

THE ARROGANCE OF THIS COMPANY TO JOB-SEEKERS IS APPAULING

BEWARE OF FEDX

You will have to take the drugtest before they can offer you a job. You will need to go the the site that you applied for and ask them for the drug test form

HOW DO I GO BY GETTING A JOB AT FEDEX

Go to FEDEX.com and look at the jobs. Be prepared to give every place you've worked for the last 10 years on the day you put in the application. Have phone numbers, addresses and dates-

FredaX in Memphis, Tennessee said: -the company rocks like no other.

lol....Let's see if you think the company rocks in a few months. You have no clue as to the horror ahead of you. Fedex is a hellhole...

I recently applied for a courier position and the only thing that drove me crazy was completing the customer focus exam and trying to hand-fill the application.

Anyone who is getting ready to apply needs to make sure they get down to the Work Source office in plenty of time. The rooms fill up quick and once they are full, they close the doors.

I'm glad I brought a resume with me as it seemed the administrator of the application process was somewhat surprised to see one.

I am curious if Fedex uses GPS on their trucks or vans? Also, is FedEx strong on promoting from within to positions other than driving?

Thanks

Also, make sure you have all your employment and residence history for 10 years. Do not make the mistake of trying to use a phone book to look up previous employers. One other thing that was surprising was that your 10 year background check includes ANY traffic convictions. So make sure you know your driving history.

Not sure if this would help anyone or not but I had a panel interview yesterday.

The people I met with were just like your every day co-worker. They basically left it open for me to ask any questions before proceeding with the panel interview and afterwards.

I would be prepared with various questions to ask, such as career paths, job details, company culture, etc. The panel interview goes through a series of questions asking things such as:

"Describe a time when..."

I know it's kind of hard to prepare for those type of things but if you do a little bit of self-diagnosis and rehearsal ahead of time, you should be able to be reasonably prepared. You should be able to find examples of these types of questions.

Also be prepared to answer about specific job description related questions to see if you are really prepared.

I think FedEx has some really good long-term opportunities if you are willing to work hard and are a dependable person.

HTH

I went for an interview today for the position of Import Agent. The head guys were nice. The interview questions were bland and read off the paper. They are now doing the background check on me. My wife was offered the same job a month ago but declined (she got a better Fedex position).

DOES FEDEX DO A BACKGROUND CHECK BEFORE YOUR SECOND INTERVIEW? IS THE DRUG TEST URINE OR HAIR?

Is it ok to call the HR and ask my status? It has been three weeks now since my first interview. They said I will get a call after two weeks.

luvsong in Dayton, Ohio said: fedex doesn't send you for a drug test til they are getting ready to hire you. only the candidates that make it to the end are sent for drug test. all of the other candidates are not. $$$

not the case... fedex sent me for testing BEFORE they even processed my application. I have filled out mountains of paperwork, and been led along for weeks. I have not heard from them in quite sometime. These people will call you from a RESTRICTED number so you can't call them back. They really could give a crap less about you. TRUST ME.

I had a panel interview also

Wow, Sunday night I applied to Fedex because I heard that they were hiring for the holidays. Today, (Wedneday) I just received a call regarding my application which I had recently submitted. After passing the brief telephone screening I was offered an interview to which I happily accepted and am now praying to get.

Hopefully this is it. For the past three months I have wasted much time and moneys scheduling and interviewing. I am eager to start back working very soon. I'm still blaming this damn recession. I have applied everywhere even McDonald's and I am still not working. Go ahead and say it, (Damn) I am not giving up though. With my outstanding working history, resume, degrees, certificates, references, letters of recommendations and also professional work skills I keep telling myself something will come through soon.

Good Luck to everyone and God bless America.

P.S.
To apply to Fedex go to www.fedex.com/ and look at the very bottom of the website and click on careers. I saw someone asking how to apply when i was reading.

Fedex might not be "the best" company to work for but I hope that I luck on on a new career soon. I will be back to let you all know how things turn out

I went for a interview for FED EX and the lady had me sign W2 forms and Direct Disposit forms and everything.

She told me this would be a seasonal job with an agency...

I want to know how long the agency will take to do the background check and how long will it take to do the drug test..?

Also do any of you know how much a seasonal PART TIME contractor driving local pays?

Because I really want to start work

Well, I had my second interview with FeDex today. I applied last week Monday, Tuesday I got the call and Wednesday I was first interviewed by the Executive Recruiter in GA. Yesterday I was contacted by the Hiring Manager and today I had an interview with her and 3 FeDex store managers. I am applying for a Center Manager (Standalone store) position. I have worked for CVS for 4 years as a store manager and have been desperate to leave. CVS is an extremely abusive company that violates federal laws as no other company. Plus they expect you as a manager to go along with their violations. So, I decided to quit because of somethings called ethics and integrity. I was not going to let CVS screw-up my career and life. Anyway, the interviews went well with FeDex. A lot of boring questions and scenarios that you might had never experienced, but still you need to answer (or make up). One or two things I did not agree with and one of them is that I have the feeling FeDex is more of the same. I mean, greed, plain corporate greed. I might be wrong, but my internal management compass is telling me the contrary. I have the feeling they expect your loyalty (of course) and to bend backwards for them and bend over for customers. One strategy I have is that I always talk to current employees before or after the interview with a company. I did so with FeDex today, and I remained with the impression that the line staff is not happy with the company. I would like for any of you with more experience at this company tell me if I am wrong or not. I am about to make a decision that I might regret later on. Please help. Thank you!

I was just reading about your experiences with FedEx and would like to ask you a question if that is ok? I have an interview Thursday and was told to bring ten years of where i live and job history, plus they told me that the interview would take at least two hours. Do you remember taking that long for your interview and having to bring that much information along with you? Also, did you have to take some kind of test before the interview? Thanks again for all your help. I hope everything worked out for you.
Thank you for you time.

Ive recently interviewed with fedex express and did the drug test also the same day as fedex express interview.
This was about 2 weeks ago. How long does it take for them to call you back for a job offer? This is for the ramp handler postion at the DFW airport. they said they need ALOT of people. and at the application meeting there about 20 people there. But more than half wants to do the pm shift. I selected the am shift which she stated thats where we need the most poeple......how much longer till i get called?

I work for Fedex ground in Cinti. I was called one week after filling out applicationand started within two weeks later. i am applying for another position at Fedex Nat'l. It seen to be difficult to get on f/t especially if you don't have some degree.

Steven in Michigan in Detroit, Michigan said: Not true. Most companys send for a drug test before they hire you,especially Fedex Ground.

I work for Fedex ground in cinti. I didn't take a drug test.

I was told that the pay was 13.16 hourly and that I was being hired by KELLY SERVICES INC.I went to the Troutdale Hub for fedex ground in Oregon.That was on a Friday and a week went by before I got a call from HR at fedex for a interview I walk in thanking that I was going to have a interview and told them my name and they handed me a stack of papers to fill out for kelly service another app.to fill out that made three that I had filled out for a temp.postion and told to go have a UA and a dot physical,I told them my dot card was still good,thay told me that they were paying for it and that thay wanted another dot card,this was on a wed and they told me that it took two days before they would have the result back so I would here from them next week,they called me on friday asking me to get kelly services app.back to them friday and they were setting up my driveing test for next week.Then I get another fedex employee calling me tilling that there was a problem with my drivers license and that I would have to prove to them that I had a commercial license cdl a and that if I wanted to work for Fedex that I would have to work for another contracter that was paying no hourly pay after 80 package he would pay me 100 dollars and anything over 80 packages would be peice work pay and that I would have to come in around seven to load the truck,for free cause he did not pay hourly.I ask him how much he was going to pay me for training and he told me 40 a day not even min.I decline his Offer.

I was wondering has anybody taken the Drive test,I came in friday at 10 am to take the drive test and was to take it in a ford e250 van,I never saw the road the fedex guy that was testing me had set up cones in the parking lot and told me to drive the van between the cones without hitting them and that once you start you could not backup to fix the next cone five trys forward and five trys backingup needless to say I did not pass that test,So now I am looking for another job,I have takeing road test before but not like that,I was just wondering if this is the norm for fedex.

i had a interview on wednesday and the website still has the job posted and i check the status online and it still says i'm scheduled for an onsite appointment, well that was 2days ago, they had told me if selected i would get a call, btw this is fedex express, just seems kind of strange that the website still says that??????

Its a Urine test at Nova Testing center here at Houston, Texas

I applied for the Dock Worker position and just finished filing paper work for my 10 yr back ground check. I am waiting for them to call me. How long does it take? I had already done the interview and Drug test.

I recently got a call back for the Pineville, NC location to be a package handler. I went to the meet and greet around Sept 29, 2011, signed the offer letter. Went and took the Drug Test the next day. Got a call to verify my residential history on Oct 10, 2011. I have not heard from the recruiter since, what is your best advice besides to have patience? Should I call the recruiters?

Hi. I found a Financial Analyst position in Miami that I am interested in, but I need to know where in Miami they are located. Thanks.

They did this with me, too. I got the initial phone call, visited the facility, and signed the job offer. Took the drug test the next day. A week and a couple of days later, I got a call saying I was cleared to hire.

Honestly, I'm excited to work at Fed Ex Express! It seems upfront and honest to me.

I wonder what the next part of the process is.

I appllied online about 2 weeks before I got called to come in for an interview. Filles out the application there and was told to go for a urine test the next day. 1 week and a half goes by and they called starting next week. So far so good.. everything they said came true. It is a part time job 12.96 hr 10Pm tp 3:30am.Cant get full time unless you are there for 2years

I just recently applied online for the position of package handler in canoga park, CA.
It's been a week since I have applied and haven't received anything at all. Is this usually what happens or just means they already filled the position?

joe in Ambridge, Pennsylvania said: I already interviewed with fedex and they sent me an email for take a drug test but i have not recieved a formal offer. Does this mean i will get one??

I would think that if fedex is paying for a drug test on you that you will get a job with them.Company's don't pay for that if they are not going to hire you.

I just had an interview with the FedEx ground and was wondering if anyone new how long it would take me to get the job if they chose me.

Applied for a job for fedex.did urine test renew my dot physical background,driving record came back clear
No points accidents or anything been on my present job for 22 years.nothing negative once so ever
Have a CDl class a license.its going on 3 weeks now and fedex still has not call me
Is this company for real?it only tells me what kind of company they really are.there's no way I'm leaving my job after 22 years for this bull.I ripped up the dot forms because I absolute want no reminders of this company.they will completely waste your time.

You are right.I just went through
hat.

If you want your time completely wasted go to fedex

i agree. i live in Rochester NY. i am not sure if it is different from state to state but i filled out an application online, called the phone number i was instructed to call after completeing the ap, and the person on the other end of the line nicely told me where to go for an interview. upon getting there, i found 4 more applicants waiting and we were interviewed or screened, whatever you want to call it, and asked to fill out paperwork. after that, ofcourse we were let go but asked to call back individually in about 2-3 weeks as they performed background checks on us.
guess what? 3 weeks later, i called, i was told my background check came back, i was clean and was on a call to start work list. no drug test, no nothing. as we speak, i work there now.
FedEx handles peoples packages. whoever they hire has to be a credible, honest, clean individual or face law suits for lost or broken packages.

I just recieved a call for an interview for dock worker... What can I expect? interview is thursday. thank you

I just applied for several Fedx positions how long are they going to take to call me

You have to go to a sort observation before applying for a package handler position if you want to get anywhere. Don't just assume that fedex.com/careers will give you all the listings because it doesn't. Call your nearest FedEx terminal and ask when their sort observation is. The one in south austin, texas is at 5am on Wednesdays. Do not be late or you won't be let in. At the end of the observation ask smart questions and look awake. After you will be given paper work to apply. Its not a hard process at all. Usually takes two to three weeks between sort observation and start date because of the background check and drug test.

Fedex or for that matter any company is not going to send you in for a drug test if they are not going to hire you it all depends on your drug test,are you clean then don't worry about it.

I just applied at FedEx Express at the GMKE airport in Wisconsin. The question I have is it has been 9 days since i applied. I HAVE NOT received one EMAIL or CALL. Did I get the job? Or is it normal that it is talking this long?

Thanks

jo in Euless, Texas said: what kind of drug test is it? urine or hair?

why should it matter if is a pee test or hair do you have something to hide ,I don't do drugs and if you do then grow up all jobs do background and drug checks ,wellcome to the 21st centry america does drug test so get clean or go into self employment.

I applied to a position at Fedex Express and received an email soon after saying my resume, application, and profile was a close match to the position and they would be in contact with me directly if my skills match the need of the job. Is this something they send everyone? Also this position is in Memphis and I live in Ohio, anyone apply to a position out of state an know how they would do your interviews?

I had an Interview for Fedex Epress Courier Partime job Two weeks ago my status was in review. Now I checked Today and it says an onsite appointment is scheduled. What does that consistent of please someone respond. I would like to know something. Thanks!!
