Delivery services like FedEx have become so popular they now hire thousands of employees every year – and you could be one of them. If you’re hoping to get a job with FedEx, though, you’ll have to adhere to a certain set of guidelines.
First of all, have your high school diploma ready then fill out an online application. Read interviews and opinions of others who work at FedEx. Be prepared to have a criminal background check and take several tests to prove your skills. Appear for an interview with an immaculate appearance but be free of drugs and ready to prove it through a drug test. Pass tests concerning the job you’re applying for, including typing tests, spelling, map-reading and other related requirements.
So many people apply for jobs each year at FedEx that it’s difficult to land a position. Some things that will make you stand out are: working with previous companies for several years instead of bouncing from place to place, a good work record with few – if any – absences and a good relationship with previous employers.
Be willing to take any position with the company then apply for the position you really want after you’re established in the company. Be flexible when it comes to the hours/shifts you’re willing to work. You can always bid on other shifts or positions later.
Keep your job and earn advancements by never missing a day of work, doing whatever it takes even if it isn’t in your job description and be respectful to workers and bosses.
There are some things you should be aware of before pursuing a job with FedEx. You are required to wear specific uniforms when working for FedEx. FedEx has a reputation for having a no-nonsense work environment where joking around and goofing off won’t earn you any promotions – and could cost you your job. If you’re called in for an interview you could still go months without actually being hired. One interview can consist of hours-long conversations including trivial and personal questions, both on the phone and in person
