Every time I have called or e-mailed, I get a different answer, so wouldn't pay too much attention to what they say over the phone. I'm sure it's not on purpose they do it, but they probably have so many things on their plate they are probably all over the place. But last time I checked they said they were up to 600 for preemployment. Again, not sure how accurate that is as there are people on this forum higher than that who claim they got preemployment already. I wish their automated system worked. 

Yes i wished the automated system work as well because this is confusing...when I called two weeks ago I was told they were to 900

Hey guys I know I’m not bugging: I call to see what list number they up to I was told they haven’t started using the list yet...do anybody know what list number they up to?

When did they tell you no positions were available?

They told me this two weeks ago when I called Ms.chestnut and for futuremta I believe they told him this when he cleared medical hold two week ago 

Just now, futureMTA05 said:

Does anyone know when they will start calling again off the list? I had everything good to go an was told no positions available.

(According to Ms.chestnut the manager Who in charge of hiring new bus operators) Supposedly in June......just be patient you good dude....I’m in the same boat as you only thing different is I had to resign on my first day of training because I did not have a tie so I’m waiting for the next available class which will be in June

I was suppose to be in the April 16th class. I went for drugs test on March 19th. They called me March 23rd to come in on March 30th for physical. I went for physical, but forgot one paper so I couldn't go on. The lady at the front desk gave me Ms. Chestnut number as well. So when I got the paper i called her back & she told me to come in the next day which was April 12th. Ms. Chestnut emailed me (no phone call) stating that I come in on April 19th for final processing. I went in finished everything & was put into the April 30th class. Ms. Chestnut was the only person I contacted. I was told she's the one who is in control of the new hires. 

Okay I see .....By any chance do you still have her email address? I’m going to email her instead of calling her maybe she will respond faster

@Mr Marta I wonder why they said there's no April 30th class. I'm in that class because I missed the April 16th class. 

Oh wow really!!? Which date was you put in this class I just called last week I was told otherwise......can you send me the number of the person you spoke too please,,,,, I’m really having a hard time being put in the next available class I got Ms chestnut number but she told me there was no April 30th class

was placed on Medical Hold because Neck circumference 18" Have to go for sleep study anyone have this happen to them? 

does anyone one when next class is i hope i dont loos this opportunity  

You good dude as long as you clear your medical hold and reinstate your list number before the List close date you  are fine...classes are every two weeks “they claim” I was suppose to be in April 2nd class the lastest  class to start was Monday (April 16th) I spoke to human resource there is no April 30th class (hence why I said they claim class is every two weeks)...... Check the forum a lot of ppl was in your situation being place on medical hold...but the best to my knowledge that’s the process you have to do

Want to ask for some personal advice: Was recently offered a promotion at my job (currently at $19.50 at my position, promotion would put me at $22). My list number for this exam is low 700's. I would take the conductor job all day over my current job (I do love my job though). Should I turn down the position and wait it out?  Would hate to turn down the promotion and never get called from the conductor job (is that possible?). Feels like a good problem to have, but still feel stuck and would like some professional advice. 

Real simple take the promotion and once MTA call you leave but don’t leave your job until you officially a MTA conductor (complete training)...these companies and jobs is not loyal to us so why be loyal to them? it’s all business doesn’t matter how long you been with them so don’t look at it as messed up if you take the promotion and Split later on down the line when MTA call

You didnt wear a tie to the interview? And they got mad holy shit

Not interview my first day of training orientation day when you go to Zerega bus facility for the first time...rule is tie is needed for short sleeve and long sleeve shirts up to may then tie only is needed for long sleeve I had a short sleeve shirt on  w/o tie before that time period

Now I know not to defer the conductor position at all

Smart choice I don’t think a lot of people realize but MTA don’t wait for you and it’s not a guarantee that the next class will have  availability for you so if they give you a start date take it I get it if you in school or something but if the only thing stopping you is the  job that you currently work at then take it...trust me I know I’m speaking from first hand experience I was suppose to working with MTA right now as a B/O but was sent home my first day because I didn’t have a tie on(no big deal I thought to myself they have classes every two weeks)  I was told I will be put in the next class which is the April 16th now I’m being told that the April 16th class is full and will have to wait until further notice...

I got all emails after the pre-employment day.

I'm not sure. He was in my class the second go around and I can't remember when he went the first time. Don't stress it. Go through the process again, (which you already know what it is) and hopefully you'll get turned around quickly. Zerega is boot camp so be on point when you return.

Oh, one added thing about the ties. After May 1st, you need a tie with a long sleeve shirt. 👍

Hey I seen your post on the 6601 exam thread letting ppl know they had to call nydacs to have their list number reinstated because they defer the class date and or They was put on medical hold my question is do I need to do that  In my situation? (I’m the guy that resign because I did not have a tie my first day of training) A bit of a update* I was not able to be put in the next available class(April 16th) according to Ms.chestnut it was full and I will be “Considered” for the next available class once she receive notification  for the next class start date from MTA

I asked him and he says he doesn’t think so because im only deferring it until the next class but michelle rivera vargas is supposed to contact me and let me know. 

Is Ms. Vargas one of the managers? If so do you have her number?  because the other manager (Ms.chestnut) never pick up her phone

On the question of the tie, do they care what color?

Dark color:navy blue or black 

Do anybody remember exactly the start pay and the top out pay with conductors?

It’s been awhile ago can’t find the number but I know for sure it was a 347 number try checking your email and search nyct.com I really do have a feeling they contacted you through email as well 

Just now, raeva0711 said:

When they called was it a 718 #?

347 number hold on imma try and look through my call logs

Feb 28 is when I went for pre employment and did the urine test

Also check your email junk mail with me They called me one time didn’t leave a voicemail I found out when I had to go back for full body medical  because the email went to my junk mail as if it was spam

Strange should have not taken that long to receive a response back if I were you  I would go down there now before they close and or go in the morning and tell them your situation

Do you get a phone call & an email when they contact you for the medical?

Yes it will be from Ms.Chestnut when did you take the urine test? They Tell you a week or two but you should receive a call/email in three days to come back for the full body interview...when you go for the full body which is final processing make sure you bring a money order and if you care about how you look in pictures keep in mind you will be taking your photo for the employee metrocard

If they're telling you to go thru the process again, you should be fine. They would'nt lie to you. One of the students in my class had resigned before the whole 10 days was complete and was able to come back in another class.

Between December 15th and May 1st, you HAVE to wear a tie with your shirt and as long as you are a student, you have to wear pants. (No shorts)

Thank you for responding,do you know how quick he was put in another class? Or Is there a time period that I have to wait to be put in another class?

I need help guys on what to do and expect:  I was sent home my first day of orentation because  I did not have a tie on (even though I was wearing a short sleeve shirt) they had me and several other ppl sign resignation papers and told us to go back to 180 Livingston street to do the rehiring process this happen on Monday They said to wait until Thursday,I actually went straight to 180 Livingston street from Zenega I spoke to the women that handle my hiring process and gave me my start date,she had me write a letter stating that “I would like to be reconsider for the position again” she told me not to worry they have bus operator classes like every two weeks and that she will put me in the next available class...even though that was good to hear I don’t like to get my hopes up...do anybody know if the information I received was accurate? And would I have to do the whole process over?

*UPDATE* I called HR I was told that I have to wait until they receive my paperwork from MTA (they should have it since it’s thursday and the guy from Zerega told me wait til Thursday to speak to HR) to consider me for the next  available class....do anybody know how long will that take? Is there anything else I need to do? Like reinstate my list number the lady that hire me told me that all my information. Was still in the system ahh man I’m stress...

I got a letter to go for preemployment on april 2nd my list number was in the 70s. I didn’t receive my OPA results as yet though.

The question that everybody was asking has finally been answer this is good news >>>>

Today I received the letter to take the OPA on 4/12/2018. My list #28**. Trying to figure out what to expect.

First you will listen to a tape recording and answer questions based on what you heard they ask questions like: if the 4 train is running express from 42nd to 125th what stations did the 4 train did not make stops at?...after these questions you go to another room where they have you look at pictures and from these pictures you have to answer their questions for ex they will show a pic of a person laying on the floor next to his bike what do you think happen to him? You will respond saying he fell off his bike (also during this process your responses will be recorded on cassette tape)
