Hey, fellow board members. I hope all is well. This will be my final post. I just received the dreaded letter in the mail from LIRR. I do not have a ticket to ride this train. Apparently, my interview didn't go as well as I had thought. With that said, good luck to you all. I appreciated the info found on this forum. Kindest regards, RT

We haven't received the "apply again" email yet, so there is still hope. I wouldn't recommend moving on just yet. Having said that, I am already considering other opportunities. While there may be a small glimmer of hope remaining, I am preparing for the worst, and maintaining a proactive mindset. Being passed over for the Dec class was... telling. It certainly wasn't a positive sign. No sense in dwelling on it. It is the reality. Gotta keep moving forward, right? We should hear a yay or nay for the March class between now and the end of January, giving 30 days of heads up to the new trainees' first day of class. I believe that's how much advance notice HR gives. Soooo, we'll see how it plays out. Might have to take this one on the chin, or maybe we get a golden ticket to the Chocolate Factory. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

EDIT: I meant to say "after NOT getting a response..."
-
I stopped studying when I wasn't called for the Dec class. I didn't see the point after bit getting a response from HR to my emails or voicemails. Have you heard anything from HR? Heard anything about your March class?
-
Gathering up qualified candidates for the March class, no doubt,
-
They did not pertain to this last class. They were in response to unrelated topics. When I asked about the Dec class or the next class, nothing. No return calls either.
-
For me, they were quick to respond to every email I sent. I stopped receiving any responses when Dec 2nd was approaching.
-
Both. You?
-
No updates at all, huh? I have nothing to share, unfortunately.
-
Reality is starting to set in for me. Not looking good for the home team. Stay positive, lirrlocomotivetraine. You are still a live dog in this. Best of luck to you, man.
-
You are reminding me ... I remember hearing similar things early in the process. I do believe you are correct. I simply forgot about the accumulative scoring/rating of each candidate.
-
What makes you think that? Did you get that from HR? When I had asked about my score, they wouldn't tell me. They said 'what does it matter?' I just left it alone and was just happy to be called in for an interview.
-
Count on it.
-
Congratulations, LS! Good for you, man. When did you have your panel interview? Were you called or emailed about your class date? I'm still waiting for a notification myself. Interviewed Sept. 28th.
-
Jetfan, I haven't received a notice of any kind. My panel was in Sept. as well. I am dehydrated from sweating this thing.
-
You must have really wanted to get out of that situation in a bad way to leave it before securing this one. I hope it all works out for the both of us. This is a great career and more than worthy of some sacrifices.
-
Landing this job has become my sole focus and goal in life, my friend. I kid you not.
-
Optimism, man. Patience and optimism.
-
I couldn't care less. The point is to get the job. Right?
-
Aug. 28th. Read some of the earlier posts. My wait time is not unusual. The class ahead of me had to wait the same length of time with each stage of the process. It's my turn to wait. Prepare yourself....
-
September 28th.
-
I am still patiently waiting for the phone to ring. Has anyone heard anything in regards to the pending Phase I class? Has HR contacted anyone?
-
Sorry dude. Got mixed up with lirrlocomotivetraine.
-
Thanks, Dre. I'm all over it. I just took a break from studying to post this. I'm hoping to receive a call for Phase I within the next couple of days. Christmas is right around the corner. I would think that they would want to start the 6 weeks before we run into the Xmas-New Year break, provided they want a December class. Otherwise, we're looking at 2016... Fingers crossed!

NOICE! (K&P reference) Congratulations, Republic! Finally moving you along, huh? You shouldn't worry about the interview. Got it from a good source that if you made to the interview, you're pretty much good to go. Unless you said something crazy like, "I lunged with the knife, but it hit his belt buckle." LOL! BTW, did they indicate to you when you might be called to start Phase I?
