Yeah I finished final processing at the end of April I was supposed to start May 3rd but I got a medical hold because I hadn't shaved my beard. Due to that I was placed in the June 14th class. So heads up for those that have to do medical still, make sure your beard is shaved or else it may cause delay.

That can't be true because I made it passed medical with no problem and I have a full beard and I start on June 14th class. Also I my friend told me that I will have to shave for respirator training as well and He is with PD (Power Distribution Maintenance).

I never got an email saying they received my canvass letter they just told me to come in for drug test. And I'm not sure if they called by list number. I got a call from Michelle yesterday I start in May. I'm going to assume that they're going by list number now that they established a list. So if you haven't been called yet it may be due to your list number

What day in May did Michelle say you start?

They emailed me a canvassing letter "Transit Electrical Helper" for pre-employment on March 10th, 2021, which I completed and emailed back. I'm also in the process of going to do my medical on April 26th for "Track Worker 8600" in anticipation of start date may 3rd class, but I would really prefer to get the position of Transit Electrical helper instead. How should I move forward?

Hi, I've been following MTA forums for a while now and I want to thank everyone on here for their experience and updates on what's happening.

My List number is 13x and I went down to 180 Livingston on 5th floor for the Drug/Lab test on Monday the 12th.

I went to the counter and the lady asked for my New York State ID,  S.S card and also my HS Diploma which I left at home smh. 

She told me that I can just email the HS Diploma to the person who sent me a email confirmation about the pre-employment canvassing application 

and also gave me something to fill out that was 1 page and then she told me head to lab area and leave urine. The whole process took 1 hour 20 minutes

I will keep you guys updated on what happens next which is the medical. I also heard there will be a class in May
