Anybody else at livingston now? 

Something they said that's new to me. After 231 days the pay is 34.88, not top pay yet.

When i first got my pre employment notice i couldn’t get off work and didn’t wanna tip off my current job so i called and asked, they said i could just call when i was ready to come in. 

Now fast forward 3 weeks and they tell me different things. One person said to call back in a month and one said to go in tomorrow. Don’t wanna go in for nothing But worst case scenario is i get sent home so no biggie i guess. 

Yea show up. I only say that because I know how some civil employees can get attitudes when things aren't done by the book. I see it all the time at my job. But if someone did say just come in, I would take my chances if I were u and just come in.

Gonna ask again cause need to know: if i go to a pre employment date that’s not mine will they process me or send me home?

As somebody who works in civil service right now, I'm gonna guess they gonna send u home. There's probably going to be a good amount of people there as it is. I would call if I were u.

employment records from social security office, it gives you full detail and time frame of every position you've held on the books.

https://www.ssa.gov/forms/ssa-7050.pdf

I got that and paid for it but it only gives you the years and the amount u made each year and the employer's address. Not the time frame that you worked for each.

So I'm a little confused with the whole disclosure of arrest history.

I was arrested/detained when I was 16-17 years old for a misunderstanding that was immediately dropped. I never received a summons, didn't get fingerprinted (that I recall, this was 10+ years ago), and was released from the station within 2-3 hours without any hassle or them even calling my parents.
How do I inform them of this? It's not a conviction, and I'm not sure if it counts as an arrest or if it's even on my record.

I'm not sure what the next step is in this regard. Anybody have some insight and/or advice?

I imagine you write exactly what u just wrote here on the application

Yeah, I’m a motor for 5 years now. I happen to come in at the perfect time. Believe me when I tell you, you ain’t picking with one year in title. I’m willing to bet you won’t be picking two years in title either. As far as picking a decent shift...yeah that won’t happen until at least 3 years. Good luck and welcome. Just expect the worst and enjoy what ever comes.

I was only basing that on what I was reading in the schoolcar experience thread. Towards the end there were some people that were able to choose after a year in. But I hear you, I'm not getting my hopes up too high. I'm prepared to make the sacrifices I have to for my family.

I graduate from college on Wednesday but I’m more looking forward to the pre employment date than my commencement 

So funny you say that. I just started college and was in a groove (4.0 GPA) but idk how I will be able to finish now. I'm not leaving this money on the table so I'm gonna have to drop out.

Every 2 weeks .... Some months my mom gets 2 checks so she gets 3 checks that's because the 2 week cycle ... My uncle the same he's a bus operator.

Thanks that's perfect. I work for the city now and I'm getting 3 checks this month. Made me wonder if it was the same way.

Bi weekly never weekly ... My mother aunt uncle and cousin in the mta..

Cool but is it every 2 weeks no matter what or is it 1st and 15th? That's a difference of 2 checks a year. Trying to do some math as far as my income before and after. 

Is payday weekly? Bi-weekly? Or 1st and 15th?

I completely understand a lot of you guys have vacations you have plans but come on man this a opportunity that I wouldn't put to the side.... I need to appeal a mistake that was made and didn't even get my list number I would've left Africa on a boat just to attend ..... No bashing just I'm upset with myself for forgetting to put permit on my application.

I hear you, but after I accept this job I'm not going to be able to spend time with my family. You can always make more money but you can't make more time. If i can delay the start I definitely will and if I can't then I'll just have them put me back on the list and wait a little longer. 

I spoke to a friend of mine who has been a t/o for a few years now. He says even if I'm not ready I should go in and start the process, and when they offer me a start date let them know about my vacation. That way at least my paperwork is already in when I am ready to start and it wont take as long. 

Just got home and saw the letter in the mail. I'm number 86X. I am hyped!

Nice! Im low 800's as well between 820-830.

I'm 86X. This is exciting for me, my wife and I have come a long way when it comes to salary and this job would be a 75 percent raise for me. Suburbs here we come lol.

No. You will be working all three tours throughout schoolcar. 

Thanks

Does anybody know if we are able to choose our school car tour? I hear it's 7am to 3pm, 3pm to 11pm or 11pm to 7am. I wonder if we can choose the tour. Maybe not.

I really hope they pass me this year...or maybe at least until December...I'm not prepared to give them my life yet! With this job you have to completely devote yourself and I'm not ready to do that right now...

It's definitely a commitment. My boy has been in for 4 years and he says that first year all he did was sleep and work. 

What gives me hope is that I'm relatively high up so I will have seniority on people lower than me on the list. If it moves as fast as it has been then maybe I will be able to pick decent shifts a year after I start.

that's awesome to hear, lol I don't mean to be an a%% but the more you guys delay the better for me. im taking it if they offer it, not going to risk anything to lose the opportunity by waiting.

It's just that the vacation is booked and paid for. If it wasn't for that I'd be all over it asap but if i don't take this vacay, I don't know when the next one will be. 

My co-worker just called me. Her brother was in the 700s in the list and he received a letter today to come in for pre-employment processing next week. This thing is moving fast. I really hope I can delay my start.

Spoke to someone at MTA Employment. They said they are calling the 1300's from the list already.

Damn I'm not ready. I got a vacation in July booked and paid for. 

Anybody know if I would be able to delay my start date?

I had heard last lost went down to those who scored in the 70s.

I hope so for my friends sake. He really had his heart set on this job but he only scored a 78

Anyone have an idea of when they will get to list number 2,400's range? or if they will even reach that range. 

My boy was number 2200 on the last list and it took him 4 years to get called. Might be sooner or not though, hard to tell.

"By the last day of the application period, you must have a four year high school diploma or its educational equivalent, approved by a State’s Department of Education or a recognized accrediting organization; and 
 
1. A Motor Vehicle Driver License valid in the State of New York; and        

2. One year of full-time satisfactory work experience that has been continuous with one employer. "

Its not looking good for you m8.

It says a motor vehicle driver license VALID IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK not a NYS DRIVER'S LICENSE. That's different.
