    Conductor 6601 Hiring Process

    It is very nice to have met all of those who are in this April’s school car. This section of the forum doesn’t have a Conductor’s School Car thread. Maybe we should be the class to provide feedback, a “survival guide” and expectations to those future conductors? What do you think? 

    Don't do it. The MTA let go of a whole class because it was rumored that the questions to a test were leaked and some people were cheating.  So they let go of everyone.

    Vargas finally returned my call, after three messages and a certified letter  mind you. According to her, they hired up to 1156. Yet people here say they were sworn in at low 1300s. So, idk who to believe. 

    I think because sworn in and hired my be different.  It could be when given date and going in first day could be different.

    Sorry to hear. I hope it works out. I’m a bit nervous about BMI. I’m 5’9 and weigh 225, a BMI of 33. Any idea if that will hold me back? My neck is under 17 inches, which I hear also holds people if it’s over, so I’m glad about that. 

    Under 17 you are good. Bmi sounds good too.  For me was hearing . Have to go get an independent test.

    I see people in the low 1300s have been sworn in.  That deeply disheartens me, to say the least, bc I should’ve been one of them. I’ve waited years to get hired, like everyone.

     

    .....But I was screwed over, based on my last post to this forum.  I followed the rules, dressed professionally, showed up in time (super early to get a low ticket number, which did NO help)....but bc I couldn’t stay to piss in a cup, after already waiting SEVEN hours, for the THIRD bs pre employment, I was removed from the list. That is unacceptable. And I’m sure some can relate.  And those who say, ‘well if you want it bad enough, you make time’.....that really annoys me bc I’ve tried......

     

    I am a CURRENT employee. For those who get hired with the MTA, see how easy it is to get a day off, or even a change of assignment, then get back to me. I’ve put in COAs twice already for this same nonsense....which is hard enough....that does not mean I can spend ALL day at 180....I have a responsibility to my current position to report on time. ....as people have posted, the nature of this job is to report ON TIME, no matter what.... Therefore, I had to leave, which does not insinuate I did ‘not want it bad enough’.  There is NO excuse to shut down the MAC indefinitely.  And for current employees, fandoms, accidents, etc, there are MACs all over the city, NOT just 180. So if 180 has candidates in, they should be considerate of their time and get them through a PE as fast as possible, ESPECIALLY if it’s a 2nd, 3rd, 4th.   I was given no professional courtesy in getting through fast.  The whole process for those of us back for 2, 3, 4 PEs should take no more than 10-15 minutes....to review the SAME application (btw, NO photocopies allowed...I learned that the hard way), and pee in a cup.....NOT 8 plus hours!

     

    What further aggravates me.....on my second PE, there was a female MTA employee in my group to review the PE paperwork.....the male HR specialist was all nice to her, saying he’d get her through the day quick, laughing and everything...and she was NOT working that day. I WAS working later.....was I given any courtesy like that?  Nope....bc I’m a male (Isn’t that discrimination?).  So should I not be aggravated? Does anyone relate??

     

    I waited years, like everyone, and I should’ve been sworn in for this next hiring,  based on my list number. And I missed out.  And the third PE was a completely wasted date (time AND money for tolls, gas and parking)....simply bc I couldn’t stay any longer for a piss test, even though I did a THIRD, UNCHANGED PE application. Total nonsense!!!!  And I was in line over an hour early, and waited SEVEN hours.

    They take people coming in for the first time over those back a 2nd, 3rd, 4th time. Does that make any sense? Those of you who get hired by the MTA, you’ll see....that’s how the whole authority is run....backwards.  

     

    Anyone have any advice on who to call to reactivate my name and go back in for the next class?? Is it Vargas?.

    ****And PLEASE be considerate to all of us are who still waiting, and those who are possibly in similar circumstances as me, and not rub in that you’ve been ‘sworn in’.  Thank you.

    Although I can relate with the 3 PE's, I went in this week for the medical. I was put on medical hold, I was pissed too, but I have some things to take care of. Even with that, I am happy for anyone who has waited yrs to be sworn in. They give the rest hope that one day soon, it will be their turn. So they are not rubbing it, they are CELEBRATING, and sharing it with the rest of us who have been on the same journey.

    Maybe they didn't read the letter carefully. I'm trying to recall I think for the test and opa I wore a fitted both times. Almost everyone was dressed down those days. 

    I wore business casual cloths the first time, just like the letter said. And when I was there most people had jeans and sneakers. I asked someone why did they dress down?. He said it is his 3rd time there and they didn't even care or notice. So i went dressed down my 2nd, and 3rd time.  It's just to give the same paperwork and prove who I am and piss in a cup so i dressed down.

    This is my third time taking it. My only guess is that it was his first PE and they’re giving preferential treatment to people like me that have done this numerous times already. 

    This was 3rd time too. I still had to wait. In fact  I did not have to fill a new application, my last one was still valid because less than 90 days. Looks like by the time they call me for medical my drug test would be expired.  But this one is good until May so i would just have to do paperwork only. I got there at 7am. I was the 30th person in line but still had to wait all day for lab.
