How up to date do you tend to be with what's going on in the industry?

When preparing for your interview, read up on all the recent news offered on BNSF's website and BNSF's Rail Talk. Comb through their News & Media page, where you'll find "news releases, customer notifications and media assets available for use by news organizations. Stay current with what BNSF is doing to operate a safe rail network, on our network, in the communities through which we operate and the services we offer." Expand your research beyond BNSF's website, exploring sites such as Trains Magazine, Railway Magazine, and the updates and bulletins from the Federal Railroad Administration.

"I would say I am moderately up to date. I subscribe to several email newsletters, which I comb through. These include Trains Magazine, Railway Magazine, and the email newsletter updates from the Federal Railroad Administration, just to name a few. I've plugged them all into my Apple news feed as well. I spent some time exploring BNSF's news releases. Some good information there. I think it is important to stay constantly up to date with the news coming from your employer as well."
