No

[WillBx718]

hey guys I have a question. When the Certified # has reached you, are you susposed to be contacted?

No, that just means that an agency, the MTA in this case has your name for future pre-employment appointments. We really need a sitcky post with a civil service glossary of terminologies. Because no matter how many times people answers the questions about last appointed or last certified people still question what it means.

k, thanks. I have a slightly more complcated question now. I know the list is going to be expired in feb. 16, 2015. my list number is around the 700's but I am currectly in a college program that I estimate I would be finished in June 2016. I would like to put my position in hold, as I was told i can do that, and get my number relisted when I am ready. In case college does not go well for me and let say I relist right before the date the list expired, would I still be called after the list expired? or do I have to plan ahead and relist sooner than the expired date so they can hired me before the expired date.

You will not be called after the list expires . Why in the world would you not take this job? Unless it's not really what you want . Going to school does not guarantee you will get a job after graduation . I would not risk putting the job on hold .

How does relisting work? when i do get relisted would I be avaibile to be called ahead of the people whose's list number are after the appointed number at the time i relist? or would I be positioned ahead of the certified number at that time? or neither?

I am currently in a medical program and would loved to have this position in case I end up dropping out becuase it's too hard.

I just went for my interview last Friday..done the drug test & handed in the first set of paperwork. I've been given the agonizing 21-page set of paperwork which is quite similar to what I handed in last week. Anyways my question is..when will I receive a callback to finish this interview process?

This has been renting space in my mind all day, hopefully somebody can either put my mind at ease or tell me the terrible truth. I was on the list for exam 8006 (bus operator) and I took the BOSS in '09 but I did not show up for the drug exam since I will not be able to obtain a commercial permit by the time that list expires (I got my class D only a year ago and just recently renewed and enhanced it), plus I'd rather get in with RTO than DOB. Now I am off that list - will this affect my status on list 8094 (list number in the 990s and I am on outstanding certification)? Will they look at my name and say "well this guy didn't even bother with 8006, why bother with him for 8094, let's skip him?"

700's? High 700s or low 700s? If your number is low enough, you might get the letter to go down to Brooklyn within the next few months, let alone 2015-2016. There are people in the 600s getting pre-employment letters already...

Honestly I wouldn't postpone the appointment all the way to the end. Because by then the hiring will be at a very slow rate, and you'd be losing thousands of seniority spots doing that as well. Someone who scored like a 79 will have seniority over you. And believe me seniority is everything with this job. I personally wouldn't postpone it longer than a year from when they first contact you, and that is also risking it too. Last time they hired up list number 3000 something. That doesn't mean this time around they'll get that high. You have a pretty good list number so, you have some real decisions to make. Because working and going to school ain't gonna work because TA isn't going to cater to your school schedule one bit. Personally I'd put school on hold, just until you can at least get a steady tour on the extra board. Then at least you could balance your school and work life. Because honestly these TA jobs are very competitive to get and you don't wan't to give your chance when it comes, especially for years later. Because doing so could jeopardize your chances on this list and have you waiting for the next exam, which I'm hearing is not going to be soon and then doing this entire waiting process again with the next exam to be called in. So that could end up being another 8 years at most.

No, it shouldn't have any affect on you. Now unless something in your background came up negative, it could cause problems this time around. But they're used to this stuff people either change their mind about the job at the time or can't take it for whatever reasons. Just be honest with all your paper work and you'll be fine as long as your medicals check out.

Will, if I do get the privilege of making it in to the TA, I think I owe you a drink (as long as we're not working the next day) - TY brother!

What's up fellas, and ladies if they are any in here. I'm on list 8094 also in the upper 700's (scored a 97.33% and still up there on the list ??). I had been arrested twice, cases were dismissed and sealed as it states on the disposition papers. I haven't smoked weed for just over 2 years but did try that synthetic sh!t recently about a month and a half ago. Medically I'm good (well at least that's what my doc is telling me). I'm not an alcoholic, no open cases, and I want this job as much as I want to do the dirty dance with Kim Kardashian lol. We all know I have a better chance on getting this job than smashin K.K. I just wanted to get some pointers on the whole interview process as well as school car. Any tips and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

In response to your comment about kk my sister hung out with Kim kardashian a couple of times . Superbowl 2011 she was was with kk
At Kris humphries condo in nj . Just thought it was so cool . I never got the chance to meet her. She was supposed to show up at a nets game last year but she didn't show so I got to meet only Kris backstage .

It's more than that now - last hire was somewhere above 500. The info you heard was kinda outdated.
