How long does it normally take to know if you will be invited to a Union Pacific train service hiring session? Hello. Thanks to everyone who gave me some answers to my last question. I have applied for the union pacific train service position, and got sent to take the reading comprehension test. I passed that test and now it says "Qualified on Test" on my status page. The Job closes out near the end of June but they are having some job fairs and so forth in a couple of days. I only recently took the reading test and was not invited to the job fair. is the job fair the hiring session? How long does it normally take to know if you are going to be invited to the hiring session after the reading test? Do they wait untill the job completely closes out, or do they hold the hiring session before the close out? I appreciate the help you guys give all of us on here. Even to clueless folk like myself.
