  1. 4 weeks? No way. Everyone gets the same. No one gets 6-8. Everyone gets 5 weeks.
  2. Wear a suit. And yes. The ishihara test is used. If you’re colorblind ur likely out.
  3. You need to know all the signals & definitions like the engineers & conductors? Then why is it that they test you on half of the amount they test for the others? And give you 3 weeks to study as opposed to 5 weeks for the Engineers & Conductors? Why wouldn’t it be the same tests & study material. Just curious.
  4. oh wow,..a lot less. i thought there had to be a reason they only gave 3 weeks as opposed to the 5 weeks everyone else gets.
  5. How many signals & definitions do they give you? It has to be less than the conductor & engineer I imagine?
  6. Has to be less materials. fingers crossed anyway. the full spectrum is a daunting task in 3 weeks, especially if you work full time.
  7. Training is supposedly a little easier for B/O. You don’t have to qualify for the entire RR. Just specific areas. From what I’m told. But i still don’t get the S&D. 3 weeks as opposed to 5 is a huge difference.
  8. Anyone know why they only give you 3 weeks to study for the S&D as a Block operator as opposed to 5 weeks as an AC?
  9. AC is a job that’s always hiring. BO is a little harder to get into. Less positions avail. That’s why it’s smaller.
  10. Yes just got the email Friday so possibly trying to fill a class. I’ve been through the AC process but not the BO process. Not sure. You’ll find out everything on 1/31. I’m just not sure why they only give u 3 weeks for the S&D? It’s a lot for 3 weeks E
  11. I just got invited to the open house on Jan 25 and if i make it passed that, the overview on Jan 31. I noticed they only give you 3 weeks to study for the S&D whereas the conductors & engineers get 5 weeks. why is that?
  12. I did not, but I did just get invited to an open house for block operator trainee,...fingers crossed once again
  13. I thought you were studying early? I was done with the definitions before I got screwed. lol
  14. excellent news,..how long ago was the 1st chance and what happened that they passed on you in the 1st place?
  15. good luck! let us know how you make out! cool - when did you apply for that? was it February? I applied for that in Feb. but i dont think im eligible for that. same department.
  16. You have no idea - I'm fighting it as best I can but not sure it's going to go anywhere.
  17. Here it is,..they just pulled my paperwork. The Vocabulary portion of the test - the very 1st part. Multiple choice. Instead of writing the letter of the answer, i wrote the correct answer. which they still passed me for on the spot. I moved on to each round. and interview, stating i passed. now someone pulling me out of the pile saying i didnt follow directions. Unbelievable.

Instead of writing the letter of the answer, i wrote the correct answer on the line provided. which they still passed me for on the spot. I moved on to each round. and interview, stating i passed. now someone is pulling me out of the pile saying i didnt follow directions and write down the letter of the answer. Unbelievable.
  19. I feel your pain bro. But at least your're not out. I have been going back and forth with Linda myself and they are supposedly pulling my paperwork but this is going on for weeks now. I have a call in to a T.M. hopefully to get to the bottom of it. Maybe they'll fix it & we'll get called in together??!! Fingers crossed for you buddy!!
  20. I thought so too - wasn't sure on other people's take. I have all the definitions down. I never started the signals because my rejection letter came.
  21. Nice job - did you find the signals or the definitions harder?
  22. Well good luck buddy,..are you through all the signals & def's yet? or still have some to go? Hopefully your on the review portion by now.
  23. If you didnt get a rejection letter you are still alive. i am seeing other people get them as well. I think you are still in the running, hang in there.
  24. Thanks a lot for the encouragement. I have actually been applying for all the entry jobs as well. I'm happy to clean trains, ticket clerk, whatever it is, I'm happy to do my time. I will keep trying. I'm just confused as to why I wasn't picked if I made it through phase 1 passing everything. I have a solid resume, at my job 23 years with tons of customer service and cash handling experience. I thought I was made for the conductor job. But I will keep moving forward and hope I get a foot in the door at some point.
