I'm not sure how to gauge where I'm at in the application process, as my status has been listed as "applied" for over a year now. I understand not to take but too much stock in status updates but in the past I at least got "passed prescreening", still hoping for the best but I guess I'll eventually see.
-
Ok, heading over there now....thanks so much!! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
-
Yes,. that's VERY true!
-
In my case I passed the cognitive at the recruitment event but was passed over for the signals and definitions overview.
-
Hey, and thanks! The reason was, "we have determined that our needs can best be met with another candidate." Other than that I guess I didn't sell myself as well on the "exploratory interview" part but who really knows.
-
Well, I got the "Dear Candidate, thank you for taking the time...." email that usually isn't even worth reading past that sentence if the word "congratulations " or some such isn't in there. At least I didn't have to wait months longer for it but this really hurts man, my last actual chance was in literally in 2008, don't know if I can wait another whole year at this point since I'm not getting any younger at over age 50. Congratulations though to those who are going into the next steps, the rewards are well worth the hard work once you get that Class I certification 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
-
Congrats!! You've got this!! 💯💯💯👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
-
Oh ok, I was wondering why I would a different version sometimes lol. And I'm sure you'll make it to Sunday lol 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
-
There seems to be no rhyme or reason on when they send out the emails. Hopefully your S & D invite will be coming soon as well. I'm still waiting on my email that says I didn't pass....IF they even bother with that.
-
Yeah, I've got dozens of applications in mine.too. I actually have been applying for the Locomotive Engineer Trainee position for about 13 years, and the November 16th Recruitment Event was the furthest I've gotten...still haven't received an "official" email about my failure yet though. If I hadn't seen the old website version of my careers account I'd still be hoping for an invite to the S & D Overview and wondering what's taking so long. Wish I could find out how I screwed up the exploratory interview but that's never gonna happen. At least you passed everything though, and hopefully you'll be getting your invite soon 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
-
Believe it or not it depends on which version of the site you get when you sign in. In the one newer version, all of my applications only say submitted with no other status updates. In the other(older) version, it shows application status beyond just applied or submitted. It also shows passed prescreening, job filled, etc, and whether or not you pass an interview. It seems to be random whichever one shows up after I sign in.
-
Ok, got it thanks Bro' 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
-
It means that they received your application. There should have been a corresponding email sent to you as well.
-
I have a question for anyone that could answer. If you failed the interview like I did, are you really frozen out from any other positions? I applied for Block Operator in March, and concerned that I'm messed over for that one too even though they haven't invited me to anything yet for that.
-
I'm one of them.... didn't get an email or a call, but I happened to sign in to my MTA Careers account yesterday, and at my application it said, "Failed - Position Filled". I was at the recruitment event on the 17th.
-
Yes true....I'm a bit discouraged but NOT giving up overall. However I was told by my interviewer that there was a "great need" for people in engine service, it was encouraging that I could have a shot once I heard that at the time. Hopefully I'll have what they're looking for in a year though 👍🏾
-
Yeah, hopefully not because I've applied to them as well.
-
I Agree, and not just because I got passed up. It's just the way they do things there, and it means waiting a year to MAYBE get invited back to try again. New Jersey Transit uses a Psychometric Verbal Reasoning exam to filter out applicants for engine service if you're invited to take it. And just like LIRR, you fail it you have to wait a year to reapply there too.
-
Hopefully so Bro'! I just found out by signing into my MTA Careers account that they passed on me. I didn't get any letters or emails yet but in the system is says "failed - position filled". Gotta wait a whole year to try again now but hopefully you and the others will move forward 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
-
Thanks for the encouragement! This gives me even more hope that I'll eventually get my "Golden Ticket"....and I'm pulling for all y'all to reach the finish line, in the meantime congrats!
-
Great!! I'll just keep applying....and Thanks!
-
Oh, ok...Got It! But if I may ask, is there any backround that you've seen they prefer as far as who they invite? I've been hired by the Postal Service as a Mail Handler but that may not necessarily "wow" them...
-
....Hmm....gotta figure out how to become one of those 😉😂
-
Whoa!....so if you're TOO closely related to someone in a craft you're screwed!?
-
Congrats to All who are moving along in the process:-)! I've been trying literally for about 10 years to make the orientation, but reading these posts gives me hope that I'll eventually get invited too so I'm gonna keep applying! Again, congrats and hope that you all make it to the end:-)
