@CocoaMint29 Thank you so much for the update. So, you received a phone call and not an email or letter? Interesting. Did the call come in as a spam call? I’ll make sure to answer my phone for numbers I don’t recognize. In any case, thanks a lot. This is very good information. And best of luck to you. Keep us posted.

The call came from a 347 area code you will see  NYC Transit as the caller. I was just hired for another position with MaBSTOA and declined to go any further with the conductor process.

For the speech part of the OPA I got a 0 on one of the questions and 1 point for the rest of the questions so 9 points out of 10. Is that good I noticed some people only got 5 points and 3 when I went yesterday 

where you required recall a sentence or read a sample sentence?

Hey everyone I’m new to this thread. I got my list number in the mail a few weeks back. My list is 4,400 something, I can’t remember the exact number. What are the  chances of getting a call back? Anyone have any insight? Thanks. 

Your chances of being called from the list is probable. The last number calles from prior Conductor exam was 10xx. All we can do at this point is wait.

Good Luck & Please give us a few details...😊

I honestly feel like we're all a big family here

Yes we are but, also I am appreciative for the Senior members in this forum who also have been in our situation. Waiting...Waiting...and Waiting. Their honest input has guided those whom never been appointed or experienced going through the hiring process of any nyc agency.  Thank so much Ladies & Gentlemen😊.

Can't outline the differences but here are the brochure sheets off NYCERS:

https://www.nycers.org/sites/main/files/file-attachments/995.pdf (Sanitation)

Thanks SevenEleven...I’m also comparing NYC DOC Pension with TA. Since I have already vested 12 yrs with NYCERS and in the process of making a career change this information will allow me to make the best decision. 

According to the city-data website regarding O/C (outstanding certification) of exam #6601. List #32** will be the  last number that      is going to be called  for O/C Outstanding Certification and  the deadline  is 4/22/18. Now whether transit will continue to forward higher  list numbers to O/C remains to be seen. I will be checking back around June to check if any changes have been made   with list #6601.

@CocoaMint29, for most of us, most of the time, we're not promised a job interview or a job. We risked $85 (was it $65? it was more than $50, I remember that) and a half day of testing for a potential opportunity, not a guarantee of employment.

And per the MTA website NYC Transit only has 48,000 employees in total, which includes many trades and titles.  So, yes, most of those who passed this exam won't be hired.

The relevant questions include how many conductors will be processed for how many anticipated job openings, and at what pace?

It doesn't look like Transit will begin hiring from this list until at least two years after the test was offered, so does that mean the list will be active for at least 4 years from the exam date, or from when the list is established?

I'm hoping to get called but not relying on it.  I scored decently (95, 50xx) but not as high as I had wanted to.  We'll see what happens.

 

 

I certainly agree on how many vacancies will become available over an 4 year period and whether exam #6601 can be extended prior to the 4 year cut off. MTA under estimated how many applicants were going to file for this exam. If 32k+ passed the exam, when you equate the total from a financial aspect MTA profited $1,920,000+ not totaling applicants who failed the exam. Although higher list numbers may not have the opportunity to become potential candidates. At what point do you conduct an analysis to compare whether the number of applicants supercede vacancies that will become available.

Thanks so much for taking the time to research and providing us with the information.

According to this data set, the last certification for Conductor exam #8094 occured on 10/24/2017. As mentioned in a previous thread, the possibility of MTA hiring 32k+ conductors is next to none. I hope all candidates were able to have 100% guarantee of being hired.

 ALRIGHT, im going to post this here.  Its a list of how many people requested from the selected exams for bus, conductor, and track worker. Not new Bus operator applications, not the new conductor, but the previous ones. 

 

This is a list, that is off the data nyc website. Its public, and its been compiled, I don't know who made it. I am not sure how accurate it is, but I think it is. It shows how many people are being requested for the hiring process in conductor, bus, and track worker.  Alot of these lists are made internally because alot of agencies get audited, audited in a way that they see where expenses are going, whos coming and whos leaving, etc etc, 

 

Once again, I don't know how accurate this is.

Be optimistic 😎

I agree there are several promotional exams being given during the next few months. Also, you must consider the OPA Exam, Medical, Back Ground Investigation & Drug Test. This is where the process of elimination begins.
