Question:
I'd like to work with Amtrak, preferably in an onboard position. I've applied via their online job site countless times, but I have a feeling my resume just gets sucked into a black hole on that thing. Does anyone know what I can do to improve my chances of getting an interview (or at least a call)?

A friend of mine once wanted to hire on with Amtrak, he was rejected numerous times, and in desperation he went to work on a shortline railroad, 15 or so years later he tried again to hire on with Amtrak as a conductor and they hired him on the spot, (he is now an engineer with Amtrak operating the Southwest Chief from ABQ to Trinidad, CO) So the advice I would give you is 1. Go to work for one of the Class 1 freight railroads, have a safe record for 15 or so years, then Amtrak should hire you, because 99.996% of the time, they are looking for someone with railroad experience. Also it does help to know some one within the Amtrak system, though I am planning on the first one first. I am going to try and hire out with BNSF next July and hopefully in 20 or so years move to Amtrak.What was it like to travel on a UK Pullman train?
You might also try not to set your hopes so high, I know a guy from San Diego, CA who is a ticket agent at the Amtrak depot. He has worked for them for 4 years, i think, He is just now getting to become a conductor on Amtrak, so try and start small and then work your way up.
