Interview Stages
Tips
- Emerald Coast Interview Consulting (ECIC) is the most recommended prep service for FedEx
- Ready Set Takeoff (RST) also recommended as complementary prep
- Do both ECIC and RST for full coverage
- Know everything about FedEx before walking in
- SBI is the critical component - most failures occur here
- Interview group hire rates vary: one group reported 5/12 hired
- SBI grader assignment may significantly impact outcomes
- NDA is signed - do not release SBI scenario specifics
Interview Experience
FedEx is a two-day deal. The SBI CRM exercise is the big one and you sign an NDA so I can't get into specifics. Panel interview is the other piece. Seriously, go to Emerald Coast. Everyone recommends them for a reason. It's worth the money.
