any updates? :/

How is the interview for this position btw? At the S & D orientation, the person said people who passed the exam will get an interview on the same day but we didn't. Instead we got Basic Training days scheduled for 2 weeks. Any tips/advice for the interview?

Anyone doing basic skill training starting on 2/27/18?

@Jonnyl911 im sorry i couldnt reply back to you sooner. I completely forgot about logging in this forum. How did you do on your exam today?

@Jonnyl911 Yeah im down for it. I memorized up to 40 but still getting minor errors. How about you?

anyone else taking S & D exam on 21st?

Hi everyone, just found out this forum. I will be going to the Jan. 31st S&D overview. Any guess for the official S&D exam format? Like multiple choice, fill in blank, Ture or false, memorial writing or scenario handling questions?

Congrats and me too. we got same date for the overview. When did you go to the orientation btw? I went on 12/21/17 at 8:30am. I was surprised not many people were there, not even 20 people.

@CGeorge do you know how you get invited to the S & D Overview? Do you have to pass background/credit check before getting invited or is it on going while you are going through the process?

@Cappi10 yeah i know what u mean. 2 extra weeks is a lot and I hope its because of the less materials to study...

@Cappi10 when u were in the process for A/C, did they invite u to S & D after or before background/credit check? I think the hiring process is very similar except the training/learning materials.

Ahh ok I see. I hope we both can make it. They sent me pre-employment packet which is a sample of S & D material last friday. I think we can do it if we put some time on them.

I think there are more people for AC than BO. There were not even 20 people at the orientation. We took the cognitive exam and after like 3 weeks later, a lady called me in the morning asking a question about my application and then sent me an invitation to S & D email later that afternoon around 3PM. So I guess you have to pass your background/credit check before you get invited to S & D?

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?

U just got invited to the orientation on Jan 25? I guess they are looking for more people. I have S & D overview on 31st. If you get invited to the overview, does that mean you passed the background/credit check?

Anybody? :/ I guess not many people got picked for this position considering there were not even 20 people at the orientation and they only held 2 orientation on same day.

I got a quick question:

Hiring process for block operator and assistant train conductor are same or just similar?

Happy New Year everyone. I'm new to the forum and I only see 1 forum regarding Block Operator Trainee. I was thinking if the Signal and Definition exam is same as the Assistant Conductor Trainee. I'm going for the Overview on 01/31/2018.

Happy new year all. I recently got invited for Signal and Definition overview (01/31/18) after passing some test on the day of the orientation. Are there anyone who is on same boat as me? I'm new to the forum.
