Does anyone have an update on this position? I'm a current track worker for New York City Transit in Manhattan looking to get this position in SI.  Been stuck on passed prescreening for a while too.

For the human resources day 1 orientation and TWU day 2 orientation do we wear regular street clothes?  Or business casual?

I think the instructors meant that there will be 2 or 3 more classes and that was going to be it as far as hiring is concerned for the time being. This list doesn't expire until December of 2018, however with the potential hiring freeze that was mentioned, that might be it as far as this list is concerned. The 8600 exam is being administered this weekend and for the next couple of weekends as well. Therefore, it's going to take some time before that list goes into effect.

As far as my story is concerned (I'm in the low 2800's): I got a hold of Ms. Rivera. She transferred me to someone else, besides Ms. Robinson. I gave her my social security number. The first thing she asked me was "Are you a prior employee?" I said yes, since I failed the 10-day Bus Operator training session back in February of 2014. As a result, she told me that I would be getting a letter in the mail. I tried to ask her what the letter contained, since post #1547 of this thread immediately came to my mind. She did not disclose, and there was no letter from Livingston Street in today's mail. Therefore, although I'm extremely disappointed, I just have to be patient...

I failed the 10 day also in 2014 and they did my medical yesterday so I don't see why that would constitute you being rejected; as in matter of fact if that woman essentially insinuated that they are rejecting you for that reason you may want to get a lawyer involved.  As for me even though I passed the medical exam and was about to be brought in for fingerprinting, they held me up because they need a disposition from something that didn't result in any arrest or any court appearance. (they originally told me it didn't need a disposition)  They told me to get it ASAP but I'm so disillusioned with always nearly having a job at MTA that I'm not even sure.

Thank you for the information. I just tried calling Ms. Rivera - her mailbox is full. I also sent her an e-mail, so we'll see what happens...

call her at like 9 am tomorrow---she usually picks up early in the morning.  I notice that she doesn't pick up too much in the afternoon.

Only EMD can order at the moment, Track can order starting the 15th, this company just got this boot conctract so be happy you’ll probably get the right size. Last class in March got shafted with wrong sizes and rain boots that don’t fit. Your BSC probably won’t even work yet given you only started 2 days ago too. Took about a week for all of my class to log into the BSC.

 

aslo I beleive it is the boot companies website you can to create an account on with your info, they have a special mta domain for it.

 

so tomorrow let your instructors at 248 know this. We had a truck come to the school our 4th day to let us try on boots and take em. if you guys after to wait for a deliveries after the 15th it’s going to really mess up the training schedule . You need those boots to go on the walk through in the tunnel and on the structure. Which they did for us our seventh and ninth day of training...

How is training?  Does anyone get let go during training like the 10 day stuff for bus operator?  My apologies if this has been asked already.

Congrats, Where do you have to report to on the 1st day

no what i meant is they called me saying they are doing medical exams/final processing to fill up the April 23rd class now.  So I'm assuming after I'm sworn in that day I will find out where I have to go for day 1.  The timing is excellent because it gives me pretty much a month to sever ties at my current employer, and move all my stuff from Orlando to New York.

They called you or sent an email

no, they called me.  They called me on Wednesday to try and get me in for the April 2nd class, and then they called me on Friday to schedule me towards the April 23rd class.

Got called for my medical exam and final processing for the April 23rd class next Friday.

I did, however I had to pass on this class b/c it is such short notice ( I am currently employed and dont want to burn bridges). From what I understand the next class will be on 4/23 and due to my list number 13xx, they told me i will almost certainly be called for that class as well. Good luck and hope to hear about the training. 

I passed on it also. Mine was an issue with some paperwork they need That's coming in the mail soon. I'm aiming for April 23rd class.

My list number is around 288X, I got a letter back in February to come down. I never responded and yesterday I got another letter to come down this week. Is that unusual, to get two letters?

Not unusual at all.  I got like 3 or 4 letters and finally going tomorrow.  List number 272*

Does anybody know if you have to bring your high school diploma to the pre employment stuff?

As long as you respond to the letter and show up to Livingston Street on Monday, you will not be removed. Trust me, you'll be fine.

Thanks Young you are the best

Only if you fail to completely respond to the letter in the mail, then you'll get removed again. Even if you get the letter in the mail and you can't make it, you can always call them (347-643-8229/30/31/32), explain your situation and they'll tell you to come down ASAP, providing it's within a reasonable time frame.

To clarify I have never been removed from the list. I was incorrectly told I was removed.  But now with the class hiring people with numbers above me I will be removed, right? Regardless of whether I show up to pre employment or not on Monday?

Probably because they have to wait at least three [3] days for the results of the drug test to come back, and they also need time to pre-print the MetroCard passes and submit the names of the candidates to the Track Department.

Sorry...

One more question.  So when I'm taken off the list...then recertify myself...do I get removed again if I miss another hiring class?

Good info!!! Thanks for the update!!!

So is it safe to assume someone like me that would be just doing my pre employment paperwork/drug test on next week has zero shot of getting into 4/2 class?

*before they hire someone with

Did anybody get any new pre employment letters? I'm 272* (very close to losing my spot and having to reinstate)....I did my address change last month so I could get a new pre employment invite.  Still waiting.  Am I gonna miss the cut on the next class and have to reinstate myself most likely? Or could pre employment to final processing go quick enough that I sneak into the next class before they hire win someone with a higher list number than me?

This rule is applied to all OC transit exams to my knowledge. Anyone on this list who’s waiting can be hit with it. There were a few in this topic who got hit with it as well. 

Thank you for the quick reply!

I did 2 drug test one back in Sept 15 the second Feb 15 and just got that letter today. When i read up the rule they say something about picking 1 of 3 people called or some b.s. along that line

Did anybody else get this?  Is it safe to assume that I have a 2 out of 3 chance of getting the job due to this rule?  Not sure if I can risk things with my current employer and spend all that money on flying back and forth if they are pulling the 4.7.1C stuff with this exam.  

Hey guys help needed!!!  My list number is 272* I was asked to report the employment center on 9/13 but never updated my mailing address (I moved to Florida)....I sent my reinstatement letter to DCAS as instructed on Thursday.  Did i lose this opportunity or will I be invited to pre-employment soon?  Any help would be appreciated as if I get a pre employment letter ill be on that first flight up to NY!!
