Hey mrm, I was there yesterday, too. Are you as overwhelmed as I am? The only thing keeping me sane is that everyone reacts the same way in the beginning, but manages to get it done. I also have 135 signals.
-
Thanks for the advice. My overview is tomorrow and then it's Go time.
-
Anyone else going to the S&D Overview on 7/16? I've been using the time wisely to get stuff done to free up as much time as possible for the five weeks.
-
8/20...exactly five weeks.
-
Congratulations! I'm at the 7/16 s&d. You're going 7/14? I guess they're running two simultaneous s&d's.
-
I attended the 6/1 open house and I'm invited to the 7/16 S&D Overview. Good luck to you!
-
I just got my S&D invite! My heart is racing a mile a minute!
-
They had two open houses just a week apart? How many engineers do they need??
-
This is what scares the heck out of me. I'm going to give 100% to the end, but my fear is quitting my job only to fail out of phase 2 six months in.
-
So, the passing rate for phase 2 is approximately 60%. If someone makes it through phase 1, is it safe to say that they have the skills to also make it through phase 2? Trying to figure out why the failure rate is so high high for phase 2. I know that some candidates simply can't hack operating a locomotive, while others make find the life style unbearable (although I would hope they knew this going in). But is PC, special instructions, air brake so much harder than BoR that it blows phase 2 candidates out of the water?
-
Not yet. This is nerve wracking.
-
Out of those 10-12, how many will typically make it through Phase 1? Phase 2?
-
I also passed the exams and got the interview. There were so many candidates! I was terrified when they started calling names and mine wasn't mentioned, but those were the candidates who were dismissed. The interview went well and the interviewer told me to watch my inbox for an S&D invite. Was that a standard line or was I being told that I'm moving on?
-
Yes, I've been applying for many years and I'm invited to the June 1 open house.
-
My invite had the same attachment. Congratulations on the open house. I've been applying much longer than you so it's hard to say how much of the invite is resume, needs or just luck. From what I read, they get thousands of applicants for the posting, so make the most of it.
-
Congratulations!! Best of luck in the program.
-
The waiting is over!!!! I'm invited to the June 1 open house!!! I'm sooooooo pumped!!!
-
That's a good sign that they're inviting you back after three years. Are you a current employee? Try to be accurate with the cognitive.
-
Glad to hear your moving along, Dre. You haven't been here in a while. Is everyone that started in your class still there?
-
November
-
Congratulations to all you guys moving along in the process. Hopefully, I'm not too far behind you.
-
Just wondering, according to the current posting: "Upon commencement of Phase 2, current LIRR employees will officially transfer to the position of Engineer Trainee." Doesn't phase 2 commencement lead to engineer or is there more training after that?
-
Thanks, but it wasn't me. I'm still waiting...and waiting...and waiting
-
Thanks, RT. I hope you get called for Phase 1 soon, as well.
-
Resume submitted...yet again
