6:15 u got there the same time as me and parked at the same place.. 18 bucks nice and cheap !!

Yeah ,  I had ticket number A105 . I was one of the first to whizz .lol I wanted to be in and out of that place . Hopefully we get a call by Friday saying we are clean. 

Got to 180 Livingston at 6:15 am . Got an Early Bird park around the corner for $18 . Was on line at 6:30 am , NYCT opened the doors at 7:00 and by that time the line was long as phuck !  Filled out some paperwork and got an urinalysis and bounced around 10:15 am . They gave us a big homework package to take home . Probably more time/jobs/school/I.D. info to fill out . Waiting on a call to see what's next .

Did anyone get offered the Signal Maintainer Trainee on their paperwork ? The application states that they may use this list to fill Trainee positions . Shit , I sure hope so . . .my list number is 25 .

Anybody hear about the next available class date(s) ?

The practical comes when you apply for the promotion or open competitive position for either light maintainer, transit electromechanical maintainer (E&E or V&D), power distribution, power maintainer, eletronic equipment maintainer, or telephone maintainer.  Those are permanent positions.

Little tidbit, if you have not been drafted into Signal Maintainer Trainee, you have the opportunity to get into Elevator and Escalator.  Elevator and escalator SPECIALIST is one of the highest paying hourly positions in Transit.

Electronic Equipment Maintainer is also another well paying position.

How does one get "drafted" into Signal Maintainer Trainee ? Is it by experience ? list number ? Do they tell you they are selecting you for that position or is that a position that one had to actually apply for ? Are they drafting from the Electr Helper Signals pool ?

I got a letter saying that they are considering for a position as an electrical helper and I have to go in next week to begin pre-employment processing. 

What date did you do the Safety Assessment ? Did you get drug tested yet or is that part of pre-employment processing ?

Wait....people got called for medical and orientation from test 8606?

No , I think that was for the 7609 exam . Jake and Mous and a few others said it only took about 2months roughly before they got class dates .

Yeah , especially since some have written that they took the Safety Assessment and were called a month later for the medical portion and then went to orientation shortly there after .

Did you get an update?

No , I haven't received anything as of yet .

I'm at day 37 after the Safety Assessment . . . still awaiting a letter to say Yes or no . 

Is there a number for HR ?

Went to assessment on the 14th. Took it not too confusing but very vague.

 

best of luck guys. 

I agree with Victorious29 . Some of the scenarios there was no real way to determine who was in the wrong or which one could have avoided it . Oh well . . . I took my test on the 18th of March . Hopefully we'll hear from NYCTA in about 4-8 weeks time .

Yo Byrd , Did you take the safety assessment on Saturday ? How was it ? Was it crowded in the waiting area ? Let's us know a lil something something . 

Yo Byrd , Did you take the safety assessment on Saturday ? How was it ? Was it crowded in the waiting area ? Let's us know a lil something something . 

Shopwitvel didn't you say you called HR and they said after they finish testing ? Well there's a SA on April 14 , 2018 . 

Nope , Not A Peep . 

Transit System is open 24/7 . There is no way to determine what shift(s) , yes SHIFTS there's a lot of O.T. so I hear , you will be on . Your only hope is that they make a schedule and allow you to swap with a person . 

Well Byrd posted that he/she has a date for April 14th . So that means the Safety Assessments are going on until that Saturday . If anybody knows of anymore SA dates , please post them . Thanks .

Nope , they didn't say anything to me neither . If dress and appearance accounts for anything , I passed . LMAO . . . People showed up wearing any and everything . I guess in a few weeks we'll receive a letter saying 👍🏿 or 👎🏿 . Some of those scenarios were kinda vague . Some you really couldn't tell who was at fault , so I'm assuming they were just looking for answers explaining how it could have been avoided or the injury lessened . Just my opinion .
