Hi there!
I am very interested in joining the rail industry and have some questions. It would be great if you could help answer!
1. Is it practical for a for fit 130 pound 5 foot 6 woman to do this job?
2. If I take the railway conductor course offered by SAIT in Calgary, AB this upcoming fall, would it be reasonable to expect to gain employment as a full time employment as a rail conductor or related profession soon after the completion of this course?
3. Would the college help me gain employment?
4. As a member of a visible minority (chinese) would I be at risk of discrimination in the rail-road industry? I mean this respectfully
5. What is the future outlook of the industry?
6. What other employers (if any) are there in Calgary, AB besides CN?
7. What is a career path like? Is there future opportunity for advancement, management ect?
8. Are there benefits?
9. What is the corporate culture like? This may vary according to company...
10. If I don't have a drivers license will I not be hired?
11. If my previous job experiences are only in the entertainment industry will I not be considered? Perhaps previous physical jobs are required for employment?
12. How stable is the jobs?
13. What do I need to do to get hired? What is the hiring process like?
About me:
18 F in Calgary, AB
Completion of highschool diploma
1 year of business school at U of C so far
Hardworker, respectful, I will do whatever it takes to get the job done right
I really want this but am not sure if it is possible or practical
Thanks so much!
