    The best advice I can give is to read through the prerequisites and job description, and try to tailor your resume or application to reflect the "key words" you can identify that the company is looking for in applicants. Within the bounds of truth, of course.

    Apart from that, best of luck and hope you enjoy yourself around here!

    Welcome to Trainboard, and I wish you luck in your job search. On next Saturday the SP 4449 will be leading a steam venture from Portland to Bend, and should arrive in Vancouver at about 9 AM to pick up some passengers. Hopefully the weather will not be as so far forecast, rain. Come on out to the Amtrak station and get some photos.
    :happy:
