I applied online. I interviewed at FedEx (Leesburg, FL) in Feb 2015
Interview
Very detailed. I was asked 9 multiple-part questions and in each I was asked to give specific examples, all regarding previous experience that would translate to courier position. There were two managers asking the questions alternatively and the took notes the whole time.

Question 1
"Name an instance in a prior position in which you were required to follow procedures, list procedures and consequences if procedures were not followed, be specific"
My transition into a full-time Swing Courier position happened through the company's hourly-employee CareerOps intranet system. When this happens, a job posts into a database that is updated weekly, hourly employees view the vacancies and bid on them. Whoever has the highest points in the system (based upon seniority, time in grade, etc.) gets the job offer. I was actually a part-time box handler at an airport before I made my first successful bid into a courier role.

Question 1
Just remember STAR interview methods. The manager will ask you a question about how you handled a situation. You respond by describing the Situation (S), what your Task (T) was, the Action (A) you took, and finally the Result (R) of your action. Managers want SPECIFIC situations of when you overcame an obstacle or executed professional judgement, not just a vague response as to how you generally react to all situations.
