Ooh.. Solid question. I think at this point there are too many unknowns! What did Todd do? Where is the burrito from? Is it chicken or steak?

Absolutely you should! Depending on the size of the company, there may be different recruiters for different positions. Applying for both will create more visibility for you as well as letting the recruiters know you are very interested in getting a foot in the door at the company you are applying for. At the end of the day, a great recruiter will look at your interests, as well as the company's interest and determine which position you are a better fit for. And if all parties are in agreement, you may find yourself with a new career. 😊 If you're looking for more information or prep work for your interviews, we have a ton of free resources in our careers library, check it out! www.atsinc.com/corporate-careers/success-center Good luck on the job search!

Congratulations on the interview! There are so many variables that go into this questions. Does the employer have 20 employees? Or 20,000? In larger companies, they tend to have multiple recruiters. These recruiters don't always recruit for the same departments, which would be a great reason to apply to both positions. Being that your interview is two days away, I would hold off until the interview. Toward the end of the interview, when they open it up for you to ask questions, this would be a great opportunity to bring up the other position. Mentioning things such as "I was researching your company on the website and noticed.." or "I was on your website and noticed this other position, how does it differ from the one I am interviewing for and what does that day in the life look like"? This is a great question though! I wish there were a quick and easy answer, but it truly depends on all the variables. If you had not already secured an interview, I would absolutely apply for both positions. A great company with passionate recruiters will vet your resume for the position you've applied for, and if you are more qualified for a different position, they will pass your resume on to another department recruiter to find the best fit for you and the company. Hope this helps!

@@careersuccesscenter this does help! Thank you so much for the thoughtful response, I want you to know that I am a self development nerd and comment clarifying questions often on so many different channels small and large and everything in between and this is by far the most helpful and thoughtful response I have ever received and you did so before my interview. I am so touched that a stranger would go out of their way like that, truly thank you so much.

You are so welcome! We are here to help 😊 Good luck in the interview!

Great! Feels good to get the offer 😊

Thank you, glad it could help! Let us know if you have any other questions we can answer. 😊

Thanks for the great info, glad it all worked out for you! That is why ATS is committed to building our diesel mechanic training program bigger and better every year. 😊

True but nobody wants to train 🤷🏽‍♂️ so trade school is my only option

Hey there! Applying for jobs abroad as a diesel mechanic can be an exciting opportunity. Firstly, ensure your trade certification meets international standards, and consider getting any additional certifications that might be required in your target country. Look into visa requirements and work permits for the country you're interested in. As for the types of jobs available abroad, it can vary depending on the demand in different regions. You might find opportunities in industries like transportation, construction, mining, or manufacturing. Roles could include diesel mechanic, maintenance technician, or even specialized positions in marine or aviation sectors. Networking with professionals in the industry, exploring job portals specific to your desired location, and reaching out to international recruitment agencies could all be helpful in your job search. Anderson Trucking Service currently has diesel mechanic career opportunities in St. Cloud, MN, Porter, IN and Channelview, TX.

Are you located in central Minnesota? If not, you want to reach out to your local shops to see if they have training programs.

How to start ?? I currently live in Zimbabwe, is there any online classes??

@@careersuccesscenter what do you consider central Minnesota?

Glad it helped! Let us know if you have any other questions! 😊

The entire truck weighs about 33k

Apologies, he is referring to tractor+trailer here, making the point that it is over the 26,000 lbs requirement for a CDL. ATS' trucks, for example, weigh around 23,000 lbs which would put a dry van trailer around 12,000 lbs. We are not a school, we are a transportation company. Sorry for the confusion! 😀

Thanks for the tip!

Thank you for your comment, however, we disagree. Multiple interviews are an opportunity for both parties to evaluate and determine if they are the right fit. We can't speak for all businesses, but most businesses do not like to waste time or money. Dragging candidates through an interview process does both. If a company has a multistep interview process, it is most likely to evaluate the skills of the candidate to ensure they are qualified and the best fit for the role. The larger the company and more important the role generally leads to more interviews with different departments or business entities.

While some companies may micromanage, we do not. Depending on the role, you could have one or two interviews, sometimes more. It comes down to the role, the level of management or collaboration the candidate will have with different departments or business entities.

Companies do value your time as well as their own. It is a better outcome for both the employer and employee to hire the right candidate, but also important for the candidate to accept the right job offer. This process allows both parties to really evaluate their decisions. It costs companies more to hire and replace than it is to find the right fit. We can't speak for other employers, but we hold high standards for ourselves and do not ghost candidates.

Multiple interviews are an opportunity for the employer to meet with the candidate on different levels of management, but it's also a great opportunity for the candidate to evaluate the employer. If the candidate doesn't feel that the company is a good fit for them, this is a chance for them to make that decision before accepting a position.

@@careersuccesscenter no, it doesn't. An employer looks for three things in candidates; responsibility, work ethic and skill set (all things you can't gauge properly even if you had 5, hour long interviews). Employees can gauge if the company is a place they want to work from Indeed or Glassdoor. Interviewee's can get jerked around for weeks until they are told no. One interview and a probationary period is much more efficient

This simply isn't true for all businesses. There are many roles that have assessments where the candidate would complete a certain task to show proficiency in skills. For instance, web developers, videographers, designers, musicians etc. Not all jobs/careers are the same or require the same skill level. We are not stating that 5 rounds of interview is realistic, this video was very much an exaggeration of the interview process through comedy. Thanks for the comment! 😊

Thanks for the tips 😅

That will work!

Glad you think so! Thanks for watching!

That is totally fair and you have every reason to be confused! A legitimate reason a company would do that would be a large company with multiple positions open that fall into the same category. An example would be having multiple levels or similar job duties of a Customer Service role open. I can imagine that would be difficult to interview for though!

Just got offered a relocation sales rep for tql. How do you like it?

Sometimes candidates will ghost an employer for many reasons. It could be that they were interviewing at multiple places and got an offer that was a better fit for them, or simply because they decided they no longer wanted the job. The best thing to do in this situation is to let the employer know if you are no longer interested in the job. On the other hand, employees have ghosted candidates as well, which is not cool!

Thank you for the kind words!

Thank you, Georgia! 😀
