So there only two options for the commutation pass? ( I’m assuming this is for our riding pass?  )LIR AND metro north? What happened to regular transit? I don’t ever take LIR OR METRO north. Does this mean we still have to pay to ride the subway after being hired?

Kevin said they were hiring 50 for this class the day I went I saw the sign in for track worker list numbers was from 70-130s so they went through about 60 ppl for 1 day .. I also saw ppl get turned away because of points and pending tickets and a lot of people missed the first email because it went to junk mail. 

Ok that’s good to know, So realistically I won’t be making this first class than. My list number is 12x

Whenever you guys go in for medical and swearing in, if someone could find out how big the class is I'm really curious. One of my friends with the list number in the early 100's seems to have made it in also so, I'm just wondering how many people they plan on putting in May 3rd.

Yeah I’ll find out because I am in the same Situation. That’s why I was trying to figure out when the first day of pre employment was for track worker. Someone had asked Kevin and he said that he only works on Friday so he wasn’t sure. It seems like a lot of people 1-100 either didn’t respond to the email or weren’t interested in the position is my guess. 

Ok thanks happy to see I wasn’t the only one!

I just realized two things. I went for pre employment  last week and 1) they didn’t give the 21 page booklet and 2) the lady behind the window who toook my two forms of identification never asked for my high school diploma. 
 

I specifically remember when I went for pre employment for train operator like 2 years  ago they asked for my high school diploma and before I left I was handed the 21 page booklet. Anyone else experience this??

My list number is in the 1-50 range so hopefully i can get through everything quick and get in.

 

 Also, remember people get disqualified or held back for many reasons (drug test, health reasons, etc) so don’t rule anything out just be ready for when they call you.

Tried looking back to see if you said when your pre employment date was and didn’t find it. 
when did you do your pre employment? 

I was there also, I noticed there weren’t a lot of names on the sheet that the guy downstairs had when he asked me my name. And i had to wait for my drug test outside of the lab because it was full and I also noticed nobody else came in for track worker after about 11.

Was today the first preemployment day for trackworker??

Assuming everything goes well at this appointment will we know if we have the job the same day or if theres still another step before we know anything?

After this step you have to wait for them to call you in for medical 

I noticed in the email it doesn’t state how we have to dress when we go in for the drug test. Have they been more relaxed with how you dress when you go down there? When I went for pre employment 2 years ago for train operator i dressed up but there were a large number of people in sweats and sneakers, even though the canvas specifically said no sweats or sneakers lol. This time around it doesn’t specify what not to wear. Has anyone been down there recently for other titles? Thanks

Hi, today was the certification request expiration date, was anyone called for a drug test ?

I don’t think anyone was notified for a drug test yet. Pretty sure they are still going over paper work. I’ve been emailed twice about an error in mine. So they are going over them still it seems.

Depends on how the first 500 do on pre-employment, drug test, medical. Depends on how big the classes are and how many classes they plan on putting in. Tomorrow is the deadline for the first 500 to send in their pre-employment packets so we'll see what the other people post. I'm in the 29x area so not too far from the middle.

If you were to take a guess how many individuals do you think they plan on hiring this year? Just based off of what they actually need down there?
My list number is decent and I’m ready to ditch my current employer so I’m a bit anxious lol.

I contacted Human resources this morning to see if they could put me in contact with someone. I received a call about the pre employment paperwork but I have not received an email. Paper work is due the 5th of this month and time is running short. I was told by HR to email Examsunit@nyct.com but I'm afraid that they may overlook my email with everything they get in. Is there anything I can do to get started or could you point me in the right direction of who I can speak to?

It’s in your junk mail folder.

From anyone who has experience with the hiring process. What's the timeline looking like here? How soon can we hope to get an appointment?

 

List is in the low XX.

I’m guessing  here but honestly I would say quick. It’s been a while since they hired track workers.

Just now, dman1455 said:

I got an email to fill out the pre-employment stuff and the same phone call.

 

List number 29X

Ah yes I found the email it was in my junk folder.  It’s a yahoo email. So for anyone else out there that uses yahoo email  check your junk emails!!

I just got an automated call to submit paperwork I’m guessing  for pre employment? The phone call wasn’t too clear and I haven’t received an email so I’m a tad bit confused. 
 

list number 12x

It’s not that you WONT be called, but most likely not this year....from what I’ve heard they should sift through about 5-6k this year depending on needs and depending on how many people don’t take the job .....hopefully that’s accurate. Maybe next year or if they extend it 

5~6k or 500-600 ????? 5k seems impossible.

I'm guessing it has to do with not wanting to pack thousands of people together into classrooms around the city with covid going around. 

I posted this before the world knew what COVID was. So that wasn’t the reason. Check the date lol. I had noticed they canceled the upcoming exam early Jan 2020 with no explanation. But yeah then COVID came, so who know what’s up.

Yeah after this one every other train operator exam is going to be only promotional from what I heard through the grapevine.

They said that last exam too. 

Can’t believe it’s been over two years since I did pre employment . And now it’s looking like 2 more years because of COVID smh. 

For those down there, have you heard anything about an upcoming class? Seems like it’s been about 2 years since the last class. I could really use a new job right now.

So what did the letter state? Hope it good news

Scroll up it wasn’t a pre employment letter. I posted above. Disregard the info. 

Sorry everybody I’m an idiot. The letter was from the MTA but it was my easy pay metrocard. I spoke to someone on the phone a few days ago and they said the offices were closed and I wouldn’t be receiving it anytime soon, so I assumed it wasn’t that. But it clearly says easy pay in the top left corner. Sorry guys I saw an MTA letter and got all excited. I’m just tired of my current situation and want in the MTA bad lol.

I’m not sure what the letter is. I haven’t physically received it yet. I only saw it online that I am receiving  a letter from the MTA today. I don’t know what it is. It could be pre employement  letter that’s why I said check your mail boxes today. 

Just a heads up everyone. I checked my mail today with informed delivery. And I have a letter from the MTA. Not sure what it is but thought I would post.  My list number for train operator is 18xx also have a 1xx track worker list number, so I’m not sure what it could be for. check your mail today! And share what you get.
