[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by ironken</i> <br /><br />Well hell RR Chick. If the engr. program certifies a student for the BNSF, I have been wasting my time doing it the old fashioned way of bidding on eng. service when I could have simply went to MODOC and presto.....instant engr. I must have also misread the job postings on the BNSF's web that explicitly state that graduates of NARS will be given first consideration for condr. trainee spots. I must have missed the fine print stating p.s. and MODOC too. I guess when I wanna become a real rail, I will save my pennies and attend MODOC and if I want to get the real scoop on RR employment, I will talk to MODOC students instead of people that have been through the RR hiring game and HR people that I know......silly me. GO MODOC! Sheesh! <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I don't want to get into an NARS vs. Modoc argument here, but I will point out that only some of BNSF's conductor trainee job postings state this requirement (maybe in practice this applies to all conductor postings and it's just not printed on some... maybe you would have more knowledge about that than outsiders). Two of my four Modoc classmates were hired on by BNSF, but I do agree that anyone specifically looking to get on with BNSF should probably consider NARS ahead of Modoc, because of that increasing hiring preference.
