BNSF Railway Company Mock Interview

"I always lead the charge for safety out of my empathetic nature and how deeply I care for my teams, and people in general. When someone isn't practicing safety first, they aren't just putting themselves at risk. They're risking the welfare of every rail worker, and the communities we travel through, as well as the customers we serve. I guess I'm just super conscientious. That's why I always keep my first aid training and CPR training up to date as well. Whenever something goes wrong, I am usually one of the first people racing toward the situation rather than away from it. It's not on my resume, but I am also a volunteer firefighter."

When meditating on how to formulate your answer, consider all the things you have done to promote safety inside and outside of the workplace. BNSF prides itself on not only promoting safety within its company but also across communities through which it operates. "Safety is the most important thing we do at BNSF. Our vision is to operate injury and accident-free, and we work each day to make that vision a reality through our extensive safety programs, training and technology. BNSF also promotes safety within our communities. We've helped train more than 10,000 first responders in communities across the rail network. We promote safety through our Approaching Others program, which encourages employees to approach co-workers about safe behaviors and practices. Thanks to our employees' commitment, BNSF is a safety leader in the rail industry."
