Just curious, does the MTA give a psychological?

 

 

No they don't. I believe their MABSTOA(buses in Manhattan and the Bronx) division gives a, what they refer to as, a Boss test which I think is sort of like a psych test. They really should start requiring one though. You should meet some of the nuts they allow to operate trains down here.

Hi everyone my list #is in 2900's I was called down months ago to verify my veterans status, when do you guys think I will be called down? Does any one have the number to call to see where list # is at?You will probably be called by this summer. They are already in the 2100's with the drug test according to this forum. Here is the automated system #1-212-669-1357. Last person appointed # 1,614.

it can be 1614, I'm in the #1750's and i begin school car the 13th...

i begin my journey this monday for conductor, at the time of my hire the interviewer told me that so far the had no plans for a new class , that was on december 26th i dont know if that changed ...I am reffering to the T.O. list not conductor.

i think school car is mixed with T.O's and C.R's at the beginning , then they separated them .....

 

So, I heard the next school car class will be on Jan 13 this Mon. Has anyone heard when the next class will be in Feb??

i begin my journey this monday for conductor, at the time of my hire the interviewer told me that so far the had no plans for a new class , that was on december 26th i dont know if that changed ...

well, once you receive your notification letter for the pre-interview you jump off your shoes, lol.

I gonna teel you my case:

I receive the letter late, meaning I live in Rockaway Beach lost everything by Sandy so when I open the mail box the citation was for the past friday, anyway I went to the appointment the right next monday and explain the situation, so first tip:

if you are about to miss your appointment, call them, explain the situation and they may change your date.

-Fill it up the booklet with you info:

---10 years address

---10 years job

---education

don't leave any gap doesn't matter if you were homeless or unemployed just fill it up without gap. unemployment period you must explain how you support yourself, unemplyment benefits, family supported (thats the most used) put everything together, high school or college degree copy, my case foreign education I have the translation and certificated by an official entity, passport, drivers license, etc

-Make it to the appointment (BE THERE EARLY) 30-45 minutes early, believe me you are gonna be grateful

-front desk give u a number

-go to the main waiting room, pay atenttion what the lady has to say, some instructions, easy stuff just pay attention, consider there are lot of people to deal with they are not in the best mood all the time so be ready, they gonna handle the 21 booklet to take it to your home and return it when they call you back (usually after one month or so)

-fill it up some pages, asic info, return it to the lady and wait wait wait...the call you to get the 10 pages booklet, check it in front of you make a new file with your name, receive all the docs and put in the file, the gonna handle another piece of paper to give to the doctor in the drug test room...wait, wait ,and wait...

- they call you in to take urine sample, they might ask you to strip, they are very anal about this, they don't touch the container or any other stuff, you will handle everything following their instructions.

- return to front desk, gave back the paper signed by medical and go home.

after one month and one week received the call:

fill it up the 21 booklet, basically the same info from the first one but in details

DON'T LEAVE ANY GAP.

put everithing together

- go to 180 livingston EARLY!!!

-fill it up some forms

-make a questionary in a computer, you have to check if you have asthma, surgeries, pain, bloor urine, back pain, etc regular questionary

-go to examination:

----EKG:

they will connect all those plugs and test your heart

----AUDIOMETRY:

you will wear some headphones and a joystick/trigger, ehan you hear a sound just press the button, my case they went all the sound to the left ear first then the right one.

----VISION:

look into a machine (with and without my lenses). first some circles with an aperture on one side (left, right, up, down) you have to tell where is the aperture. color blind test, some card multicolor with a different color in the middle forming a number. shape test, some cubes deifferent colors

----PHYSICAL:

make you strip, they will give you those surgery aprons, they will go over the questionary you filled up in the computer, the, reflexes, squad, lift the arms, legs, cough, etc regular check up...wait until they give you the results "Q" qualified "N" no qualified .

After that go to HR, they go over to your booklet, page by page word by word, check up all the papers, explain some administrative stuff, fill it up more form and...you are hired!!!!...good luck man, i think I dont forget anything and I hope this help, it did to me when Justin08 and catgombo told their experience or th info they were getting...see you GL!Thank u 4 your input. Very very helpful. 2 ques though. #1 When is this CPU medical questionaire is done n how?? #2 Is the person from HR your investigator?

Both eyes at the same time, is a machine where you look through, something like this:

my bad this is for t/o .......    sorry !!!!!!!!!!!!!

there wasn't an eye chart. You just look into a machine and they test everything from vision to depth perception to color blindness. If you wear glasses they do the test with and without your glasses. If you know you need glasses your best bet is to get them before your medical. If you fail the vision and they say you need glasses, they will put you on medical hold until you get them. By the time you get them and go back to be retested that may put you into a later class. That means you'll lose seniority that you would have had. And let me tell you seniority is everything down here. It determines when you can pick a job, your days off, your vacation and more. If you want to take that chance and possibility lose some seniority then don't bother with getting those glasses.

do they test the eyes individually or just both eyes???

im asking this cause i didnt pass the eye test for bus operator , they test the eyes separately amd due to a macular degeneration in my left  eye i didnt pass , even though that i have an class A cdl license i cant get 19a certified....

the day that they disqualified me i asked the doctor and told me that for conductor ill be fine ....

also my list # in in the 1700's for exam 8094 , im confused because i see that they calling also for exam 8098??? or is a mistake?

do i have a chance to get called ?

 

thanks!!

 

I am in the 640's and I did initial drug test on 2/1 and now they called me in for medical on 4/11. I was wondering for those who have done the eye test, do they test both eyes together or is each eye tested individually?
