Yes sir.

Watch your emails guys, interview invitation just received today.

Background check completed since Jan. 22nd. On to the waiting game....

Any word yet on if this hiring freeze will let up? I'm also curious if this effects other positions as well.

It does end in spring? How did you hear that?

Is it by invite only?

Yeah I did. That one was completed when I was on the same vendors website to do this one, no confirmation e-mail at all for it. Have you heard any news regarding that position?

Successfully passed this test. Now i'm on to the background check. How long does it take? Will I get a notification of it being complete? If anyone know's the answer's please let me know, in the meantime I will continue to post here until the process is complete whether I am hired or not that way anyone in the future can prepare themselves for what's ahead.

Today's test wasn't too difficult. Much easier than the machinist testing. Know your tools and be good at math my only advice to everyone who takes it.

The next board meeting for the MNRR is January 22nd. I doubt anything changed much as far as the hiring freeze or financial standings but one can dream right? Hopefully we all hear good news, they also stated there is one once a month. If we are in a pool like truckie say's then patience is what we all need. Good luck to anyone taking test's in the near future as well for other positions such as trades, engineering, etc.

That's my question. I was invited to test's for the MNRR. Why would they do that if they aren't hiring, including the cleaner test everyone else mentioned on here.

Definitely possible, same here. I'll keep everyone posted, I've been on these forums on and off for awhile now.

Patience, it's all we need. I have experience with big places like this and their hiring process and it does take time. I wish you good luck as well. I spoke to one guy in there who was pretty loud saying his buddy was a cleaner in poughkeepsie, his advice to him was study a lysol can but I feel like you didn't even need to do that lol. Sounded like a good job the way he described it.

there was 18 of us all together. I didnt have any notifications so im assuming my background check is done as well. Via another thread take a look there. There may be a hiring freeze. I also have testing for another position as well. After hearing that there may be a freeze, i'm definitely going to keep trying until my foot is finally in the door.

No I did not. I was also in the back on the left side. Background check still going theough I guess.

I was wondering if anybody could shed some light on what to expect on the test for this position, it's with the MNRR.

Thinklikeamango I was there to! passed the test as well.

Yes, good luck. Still trying to test for another position myself. I had machinist testing earlier in the year. I know due to my abilities I passed three sections out of the four, I'm very confident in saying that don't mean to sound arrogant at all when I say it... Basically, during the first year I would also have TOP NOTCH attendance as well. Stay under the radar and don't give them a reason to trouble you. The union will only do so much for you. It's not a bad thing to be on probation, just annoying. They don't provide vision or dental in that year as well. My guess no wasted money if they decide to fire the person after the year is up. Like I said, good luck and enjoy your new career man. Can't wait for my second chance....

I speak from my past experience at a union based job myself. There was a one year probationary period as well. Basically, be on your best behavior for that whole year even after the 90 days of being in the union.

Denise, I believe it varies. I had a machinist position I applied for march 19th of this year. Was called for testing on May 8th for it. The next step for me after pre screening was an e-mail to confirm my seat for the testing. After that, it's a background check and interview. Then conditional offer of employment along with a drug test and physical. I have some things passed pre screening since 2017 as well. I'm guessing it's luck of the draw or a waiting list.

Kidbx, me as well. I have two saying that since January and March of 2017. Definitely seems like a waiting game. The question is how long lol.

Makes sense, I wish you good luck in getting in as well. We'll get in that I'm confident of.

Well, due to no response I'm assuming we're on our own. The site still has useful information. All we can do is hope and pray we receive a phone call or e-mail soon. Passed pre-screening might just mean we are on a call list and could be called anytime. What's your guy's take on it?

I applied for alot. The ones that said it are Iron worker and trackworker. What about you?

I am also wondering the same. I've tried doing a search and there doesn't seem to be a thread on this.
