It's a great job but it requires some sacrifice as far as all the traveling in the beginning. If you haven't been a Cr for long then u must be xx anyway. What would suck is what happened to a classmate who was a Cr in the A division and our whole induction got sent to the B. He went back because the traveling was just too much which i understand being a Bronx resident.

 

Think about it long and hard but it really is a great job. Just be sure before u come cause it isn't the easiest.

Yea I’m currently in B div and I’m xx. Tbh if they told me I was getting sent to the A div I wouldn’t even consider it. Appreciate your input. Def will think about it

Actually i suggest being sure before taking the job. It's gonna be there but if he isn't sure, comes and takes a seat, and decides a month in he doesn't like it...then all he or she would be doing is taking a seat from someone else. A lot of conductors go back.

She* but yes I’m really on the fence about it. I don’t want to waste anyone’s time. I am aware that there are other people out there that really want this. I’m def going to weigh out the pros and cons.

Hey guys, I received a text yesterday stating for me to response to the email canvass, however I have yet to receive this email. My list number is 21xx. Does it take a couple of days for the email to show up after the initial text? Thanks!

I received the text as well and about a couple minutes later I checked for the email and it was in my inbox. Did you check your junk mail?

Also…if you’re unsure, don’t.  You don’t wanna screw your self out of both positions

Yes I agree with this. I think I’m going to hold off for now

Thanks for the info

Might be better off doing that. What’s your list number?

List number 20**

Just received my canvassing email yesterday and I’m uncertain if I’m ready to move to the front at this time. Currently I’m in the middle as a conductor. Does anyone know how to go about putting things on hold for a future class

Just received my medical/final processing  email. List #18**. Anyone close to that number be on the lookout for an email. Class starts Jan 6th.

Same here..had my 2nd PE with hopes that I’ll be in the Jan class along with @J Cooper!

I’m currently in school car that started 6/10 & I’m number 150X.... so they’re currently hiring in the 1500’s

How has your school car experience been so far?

I too was recently at pre-employment. Dows anyone recall approximately how long it took them from first visit to being sworn in? Also, I was expecting an interview; when does that happen during the process? Though I'm more interested in people's length of time to being officially hired. Thanks 

I can answer the latter part for you. The interview portion takes places after the medical portion. So if all goes well with the medical directly after that you meet with someone who goes over all your paperwork to make sure everything is in order and they will ask if you are available to start on a certain date. That’s pretty much what the “interview” process entails.

My list number was 18XX for Pre-Employment on June 10th, although I didn't take the job.

Thank you. I was there on the 11th and my list number is 18xx as well. We probably would have been in a class together eventually had you not passed up on the job. By any chance did they mention what month a class for a list number like ours would start? 

Does anybody know what the highest list number reached was that made it in for this current class?

It means you need to be able to walk alongside elevated track.

I see! Thank you for explaining. Sounds like fun 😩

@kellgh quick question what exactly is the structure walk about?

I’m up at 180 Livingston st right now, arriving at 6:30 is a must. I thought it was a dress code? I see people in sweats.....

The reason why everyone is not in business casual attire is because some people are already employees of MTA and might be there for other reasons besides pre employment. I was there yesterday for my first pre employment as well.

A lot of sitting and waiting bro. Lol. But it’s just paperwork and drug test. 

Thank you! I received an email that included paperwork already would you happen to know if I have to fill it out ahead of time or do I fill it out when I get to Livingston

Can someone give me an idea on what to expect at pre employment  

I also received a call a few minutes ago for pre employment. List # is 18** and scheduled for Thursday June 6.
