347-643-8229, then ask to be transferred to conductor hiring.

Don't start the T/O training. Call them and say you want to defer for the future. Reinstate your name if you don't like sanitation. It isn't worth it to turn down the sanitation job for a provisional position. Especially when you could always reinstate your name back within the 4 years. Plus the list hasn't even been established for T/O, so the 4 year clock wont even begin yet.

Take the sanitation and run. Hands down.

That is great news. Thank you for the update.

Thats awesome. Keep us posted.

When I asked the manager about 2 weeks ago, she told me they were most likely not going to get passed the current number: she said around 53x. She said very unlikely they pass that number for July class (I'm assuming because of all of the deferments from April and June). She also said she won't know until about a week or two after the July class begins whether or not there will be an August class, and that I should call again to find out. Lets cross our fingers and hope there is. Side note: according to City-Data certification, as of 3/22/18 there were 200 vacancies, but as of 5/23/18 there were 500 vacancies.

When I got my 2nd PE letter the lady told me to disregard it. Are you guys receiving another PE letter because your 90 days are almost up? Side note: My FDNY list number is 5,3xx. Any chance I get it?

Don't they just do another drug test at medical? So annoying to have to continue to miss a day off of work every 90 days to go take a drug test IF it's true they aren't planning on hiring anymore until next year.

He was saying that almost everyone, if not everyone, should pass schoolcar for C/R.

Just to clarify, this DOES NOT MEAN July is not the last class. It is possible it is, possible it isn't. Again, just nothing is officially set in stone.

Just a quick update: called the employment center to ask if it was true about the freeze after July, they said that is not true, but that no classes are "officially" scheduled yet. Classes are scheduled as needed regularly. Meaning a class could randomly open up August or September, etc. It's not as if they have a calendar with a fixed schedule with classes set. Take it with a grain of salt though, you could call transit 10 times, speak with 10 different people, and get 10 different responses.

Is there a class in both July & August?

Yes PE seems to have gotten into the 1500's, but it wont matter so don't get your hopes up. It seems that the last class for the year is July (as per another poster). Hopefully they'll open up at least 1 or 2 more classes later in the year that aren't scheduled as of now.

Call employment center at 347-643-8229, they are the ones that will contact you. But I doubt it's your turn for medical since people from 5xx-6xx are still waiting for medicals. As someone already mentioned, they need to handle people who deferred first.

I'm pretty sure that appointing of classes is by list number, so you should definitely be in the July class with your list number.

This is true my dude, but don't limit yourself to just conductor. If you want to work for the city/MTA, take every exam possible. This month DCAS has police officer, environmental police officer, and correctional officer. All 3 are great positions. It'll be some time before MTA puts out the next conductor exam, since this list was only established 4 months ago.

You should already be in with your list number, no?

They have been hiring so many people the last 3-4 years, it was bound to slow down eventually.

It is a bummer, they did give a lot people hope for employment within the next 3 months. But hey, if they're at capacity what can you do huh? We've waited this long, a couple extra months wont kill us at this point. Lol

I agree with this. I doubt there will only be 1 more class for the year. Could be true, but I doubt it. I mean, they called over 1,000 people for preemployment and drug test.

Congrats!! So medical and final processing are 2 different days?

Just to give you some perspective on where they are at, I am 71x and still waiting for medical as well. I have a good feeling you should definitely be in for August or September (assuming they have classes those 2 months), if not July.

I don't think there's anyway to find that out. You can look on this forum thread to get an idea, but not everyone is on this forum so we don't have an actual number to give you.

Nah don't stress. I'm confident you'll get the job soon.

Thank you so much. You are very helpful.
