petecas92 Posted October 22, 2016 Author Share #3 Posted October 22, 2016 The job description for it was very similar to protection agent only the pay was alil less.....would you happen to know how often they hire for property protection agent ? I didn't take a exam for it I just applied for it through the employment website and submitted my resume.

Gonna continue to keep checking the website and applying to everything I qualify for I wouldn't say your chances are slim. You asked how often they hire and I said not much. But then again not many people apply for security jobs with the MTA, or even know of their existence. If you applied and qualified, you should hear something. I couldn't give a time frame.

petecas92 Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share #7 Posted October 24, 2016 You're right. I was thinking that, I don't see anyone asking about security positions on this forum. I'm guessing when you submit your application online the call back process is similar to them pulling your name out of a hat. I also heard the computer reads for keywords on your resume Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
