Hi, I need advice from the veterans here. <br />I have applied to UP, BNSF, and NS for a variety of positions. <br />I am looking for a career change since my company is outsourcing all of its IT jobs to India. <br />I have a 4 year college degree, am ex military, have worked 8-16 hour rotating shift work in all kinds of weather, and spent my last 7 years working in IT. <br />Problem is I cannot even get a response from any railroad! <br />Not even for "shop laborer" positions. <br />I dont care about the long hours, the dirty toilets, etc etc....I just want to work for the Railroad and do my best until retirement. <br />I am not even concerned about money...I am not greedy and will accept any fair wage. <br />How long does it usually take for a response? <br />Especially from UP? <br />Its been about a month since I first applied for the Shop Laborer and Train Service positions...albiet more recently for the remainder. <br />Any advice? <br /> <br />Thanks in advance!
