Is it hard to get a job at FedEx?

No, it is not hard to get a job at FedEx. FedEx has locations in all 50 U.S. states as well as in Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico and is consistently hiring for positions that require minimal education and experience.

To get a job at FedEx, you should apply online via the FedEx career page. You will be asked to make a profile if you don't already have one.

Most positions at the company have one to two interviews during the hiring process and some positions may require you to complete one to two assessments during the interview process. You will also be required to pass a drug test and background check.

According to current and former employees, the interviewers are looking for answers to behavioral questions that follow the STAR format. The STAR format means:

• Situation (S): Describe the situation that you were in or the task that you needed to accomplish. Keep the amount of detail appropriate and keep the focus on you. Use a specific event or situation, do not give a generalized description

• Task (T): What goal were you working toward? (Again be specific!)

• Action (A): Describe the actions that you took to address the situation. What specific steps did YOU take and what was YOUR particular contribution?

• Result (R): Describe the outcome and feel free to take credit for your accomplishments. Explain what happened, how the event ended, and what you learned.

Be prepared for this interview format and practice your answers in advance.
