Does anyone have any idea how many C/Rs the mta is looking to hire? 

Does anyone know approximately how many T/Os they are planning to hire?

just finished all my paper work and was worried about the arrest record section too, don't have any tickets so i can't comment on that part. When I was there they told me to just list what i had, i put down my arrest date, charges, the court and the outcome and i gave them the disposition papers.

Just make sure you dont have anything open or pending. If you were arrested tell them and give a disposition paper, they said everything is good and I start in the next class.

What’s your list bro?

To be blunt about it.... When they get to you they get to you. I'm not holding my breath my list number is 82* I sure I will be going to another pre employment before getting hired. Transit always calls in more people to hire them they actually need because of failed drug test, medical holds, candidates aren't ready for that specific class and the list goes on so it could move fast it all depends.... They said they don't hold a spot for anyone. 

So they skip your name if ur unprepared with documents, etc?

I asked the dude processing me and he said there's a chance u could hear something by a month or two. He seemed confused about other things tho so take that with a grain of salt. 

Thank You

For those who filled out the pre employment packets already do you have to explain each and every arrest and/or ticket? Or do you just have to put the dates and location?

My list is 111* anyone know what my chances are for getting into a class by the end of this year? Is it a long shot?

Don't remember the date exactly, but around August or September of last year.

Thanks for the reply, I guess I have to wait another 6 months to hear how I did on the opa.. 😞

would you or anyone know how many classes do they have per year & how long is each class? just trying to gauge when to start expecting something in the mail.

I am guessing 60 individuals each class from reading the forums? to get the 60 they go through 200/300 individuals.

 

list#: 111x  

My list is 111x too

When did u take the opa 

2 hours ago, Bmpo7 said:

Depends. A lot of people got both together, but probably only because they were the first ones. But no, you don't get both together.

Thanks man, just anxious.. Not looking forward to this long waiting period.

It takes about 6 months 

So when u guys got the results did the same letter tell u to come in for pre employment or was that a separate letter?

In the Mail 

Thanks... how long does it usually take to get your pass or fail result? 😕

How will we get our opa results? Mail or email?

Hey guys so I just came from the OPA how soon will they give us the results? And if we failed does that mean it’s the end of the road for you? Lol I think I did ok. I was a bit nervous for the 2nd part

Same here, I took the opa yesterday... the second part threw me off, I think I passed though. what session were u scheduled for?

You can go to any social security office and ask for a print out of your complete work history. I paid $50 for the report about 2yrs ago when I did this for conductor. It will list every job you've had along with dates worked. You can fill in the rest of the details, like responsibilities etc. They'll (meaning the MTA, not SS) ask for a detailed history of what you've been doing to support yourself since HS (i.e. college, living with parents, worked "x" job etc). They just don't want to see any gaps on your work history. As long as you have a good 10yrs or so worth of work experience/education. You'll be good. Just don't omit anything. Even if you were fired. Being fired from a previous job won't disqualify you, lying on the application will. I've heard stories of them pulling people out of school at because they found out the person lied on the application. Remember, they don't start the background check until AFTER, you've been hired. Good luck to all

May god bless you *old lady voice* lol thanks a lot for the info.

No, someone with a higher list number won't jump ahead of you even if they don't have to retake a DT. The classes are filled by list number order.

How is that possible?

likewise.. #18XX here.. its not a matter of if it's a matter of when at this point.

Have you received anything besides your list number yet? I heard someone a few pages back say 1300s are getting call backs.

I am here now 6:45a for the pre employment, we are waiting outside with about 20 people in front of me, I hope it goes as quick as it did for me for conductor got out at 1p last time but didn't get here until 7:15a last time, oh the joys of doing  pre employment again! 😂

What’s your list for T/O

Does anyone know what info you to accurately complete the pre employment packet? I work in Albany but live in NYC. I don’t want to take multiple days off so I can gather the info from different agencies. I know for sure I need court dispositions for arrests, but I got a ticket on the train for taking up two seats. Do I need any paperwork for that ticket? Do I need copy of my H.S diploma? Or my social security statements to prove I worked at a job for over a year? Any info will help.
