      Intern Interview

      Dec 14, 2014
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Norfolk Southern in Oct 2014

      Interview

      I spoke with recruiters at my school during a career fair who later contacted me to schedule an interview. I was then interviewed by two recruiters who were very polite and straight forward. It was a standard interview with mostly behavioral questions and being a student with limited job experience a majority of the interview was revolved around my resume and an explanation of the position itself and the training involved.
