Mr NewFlyer

Just got the letter in the email to come in for pre-employment this upcoming Monday the 24th 7:30am, anyone else?

Update, so I got my updated SS card and driver's license. Called the number they gave me to schedule a day to come in. The person took my information/phone #. And told me at the moment there's no vacancy available. But as soon as vacancies occur, they will call me up to continue the process. So now it's a waiting game for me

Hey thanks for asking. It went pretty good got there for 7am was out by 1 the worst part is waiting but other then that no complaints 

Sure no problem. I didn't make it past the drug test. And was wondering, did they schedule for medical after you took your drug test. Or did they say they would mail you a letter or call you another day for medical?  Did you start the process yet or what? Have you heard anything from them after that day at Livingston? 

Was also wondering if any one knows, did they start any classes yet for this?

Just an update on what's going on with me. I received my updated SS card with my name fixed, now I'm just waiting for my updated drivers license to come in the mail.  I went last Monday so I should be getting it any day now. When I get it I'll call the number I got to continue the process.  I'll be updating here as I go along. Can't wait to get started on this

my list number is 6**. I still havent gotten the cdl permit yet.  Are they calling for exam 7300 ? I read through and got confused. Please advise me. First time in weeks checking everything out. 

 

OMG if my flyer was on list 4** and he already got pre-employment letter, I gotta get going then. DAMN. 

Don't waste any time. Hurry up and get that permit asap. I was 49* and got called quick. So my guess is you should be getting that letter real soon also. 

Wish you the best.

Ahh okay gotcha gotcha so Is spring creek the only PT depot ? 

Yea for the 7304 list they were only hiring to work out of that Depot

So the wait is just for documents, shouldn't be long. ahh yeah I don't blame you I wouldn't go through all of this for a PT pos. Thanks man, same too you. Hey never a bad idea you give yourself more chances doing so. 

Yea those documents are the only thing holding me back. And for PT it's not worth it. Specially after taxes,gas and time it takes to get to spring Creek Depot. I only applied to that pt one because at the time I wasn't working and even pt looked good. But when they called me I was in a good situation. So no point of leaving for that. It worked out because I got low list numbers on this and for Mabstoa

Just now, umidonthaveone said:

So now you wait for another letter ? none only other test I applied for was exam #8623 (non driving) which is recent and closes today literally. 

The person at the counter gave me an HR number to call. The person said once I get my updated cards in the mail. I call the number and they reschedule a day for me to come back in to continue the process. Then if there's still a vacancy they put me in.

Nice, good luck on that one too.

 I applied to 4 bus operator positions.

About two months ago I got called for part time 7304. But I passed on it. And recently got called for this one. I'm also on the list for Mabstoa and nyct. They definitely made some money from me lol. I figured applying to abunch of them would help my chances of getting a low number and getting called

Yeah deff right on that one, Passenger and air break right ? as long as you can still move forward with everything you'll be fine just a minor hold up. They did you the favor of getting all of your docs fixed for future references i'm sure you would have had to fix it eventually .  

Yea those two. I'm kicking myself because of that lol. Had I known of it before I would have fixed it before even applying. It sucks because I was a low list number. Now I get pushed back some more because they don't hold your spot on the list. But it's all good, at the right time will make it

Did you apply to any of the other bus operator positions?

 True you are right about that, I didn't put any of that into consideration. I have a clean Class B, the licensing part is the least of my worries as of now, thanks for getting back to me thou I appreciate it. If you have any other info please keep me posted ! Good luck with the process.  

Yea having that class B definitely helps. One less thing to worry about. I have the class b also and with the endorsements they ask. But i got held up by a name issue on my ID,SS. Just waiting now to receive my updated cards so I can continue the process. Not worried about the drug test and medical either. Only thing I'm worried about is that 10 day training we got to go through. From reading through the forum and speaking to some drivers I get that those days will be very difficult

Gotcha thanks man ! Im in the low 4K so i'm guessing it maybe a while. 

I wouldn't worry so much. This list came out pretty quick. So they're definitely looking to hire abunch of people. And from what I saw the day I went. Alot of people have issues that hold them back from moving forward. Seen some people get sent home because of open tickets they gotta take care of. Alot of people didn't even have there permits yet. So they move through the list pretty quick

@Mr NewFlyer Do you remember if all call backs had been in list number or was it random ?

List number. There were maybe 2-3 people there that were called back. Because they had some issue they had to take care of

It's orientation day that Thursday. The person there pretty much will go over that form they sent you with everyone there to make sure everyone filled it out right. You'll have some other paperwork work to have to fill out over there also.

After orientation. You will be called for them to have a look at all your paperwork you filled out. If everything checks out. They will send you for drug test. They do their own drug test in the same building.

What takes long is the drug test. So expect to be there almost all day.

On that packet they sent you, make sure you fill out that employment part going 10 years back. Don't leave no gaps at all.

And make sure you bring all the documents they ask for on that paper.

Good luck

Yes, there is parking. It is located on Livingston St...on the same side as the transit building...on the corner. It is a weird looking outdoor parking lot with car lifts. I don't know the rates...I usually take public transportation to get there because it's a hot mess on Livingston St. There are other parking garages, but it is so congested in that area I couldn't tell you.

The whole employment process depends on you. For example a friend of mine who is at Springcreek line training was hire by MTA Bus in one week. The day of his pre-employment he already had his CDL and all necessary documents, so he took his drug test the same day. They emailed him three days later for medical and he went the next day. He took the medical and passed the same day and he was fingerprinted and went to training two weeks later. The process is smooth if you have it together...Good Luck!

Thanks for that info, that was very informative.

Quick update guys: 
So I went there this morning. There were alot of people, I think like about 100+ or so. Majority were there for 7300 pre-employment. There were maybe about 15 people for promotion to conductor.

If everything went good they were going to send me for drug test today after they looked over my paperwork. I had everything and was all set. But I had an issue with the name that's on my passport, social and ID. My passport has my whole name written out. But my SS and ID only has my first name, middle initial letter and last name. The ID and social aren't all written out like the passport.

So the guy that did my paperwork told me that I would need to go to the SS office and DMV to switch my name's on both cards so they all match each other. He gave me a paper slip with instructions and a card with a number to call so that when I receive the updated cards I can reschedule an appointment to continue the process. So now I have to wait to receive those updated cards to proceed.

So yea guys, make sure your documents have the exact name's accross them all and that they match each other exactly so you don't have this issue I had.

Congrats Mr. New Flyer Sir. I am the day before you on the 14th at 7:30A.

Best of luck in the employment process! 

Thanks man, And congrats to you too.
Let us know how it all goes down on Thursday, Wish you the best.

Hey guys was wondering, Does anyone know if there's paid parking in that area close to the mta building?

Also for anyone that went through the process, Will they tell us in advance the days they will need us to come in for the 10 day training?
Like how quick does it take for them to get back to us with the results from the medical/drug test?

I'm trying to find that out so I can figure out when to take my vacation from my current job

I just got the pre-employment letter to come in for this on Friday June 15 7:30am. My list number is 4xx.

Also on another note, i got a second congratulations letter for passing the boss for 7300 in a second envelope. I already had known I passed months ago but they sent me another one.

So I'm guessing that if you got your congratulations letter for this recent and you had a low list #, you should be getting a letter calling you to come in soon. Don't know why but I happened to get both letters same day. Keep checking your mailboxes.


Anyone else going on June 15 7:00am?

So excited 😁

I think they are having a difficult time getting people to join this. I was called to come in for may 3rd. But declined and sent the paper back saying that I declined and they sent me another form inviting me to come in again on may 15. If I wasn't in the situation I'm currently in, I would have jumped in.

Did any one get called recently for this one?

I know earlier in the thread someone mentioned that this is to work only out of the spring Creek Depot. But on the form I got recently. It mentions that we can expect to work out of any borough. Did they change that or what?

Hey guys, so I just got my pre-ployment letters for 7304 to come to Livingston St on the 3rd at 7:30am

Was wondering if it's even worth going forward with this. Because my current situation I'm in at my current job, im getting $24.76/h FT with benefits driving a bus similar to MTA bus.
I feel like going forward with this PT position is taking a step back. I did apply and pass the boss for 7300 and also passed 7612. Haven't heard from 7105 but I'm sure I passed that too. Didn't seem to different from 7300 the test.

I don't know if I should wait it out for the other to call or just take a gamble and go with this one. If I passed the other ones, is there a chance of not being called?
Anyone else in this same situation?

Good evening everyone. Was just wondering if anyone who took their BOSS exam heard back yet? Took mine in the beginning of January and they said we should get our results in about 2 months. 

 

Thanks in advance. 

Was wondering the same thing. I took mines back in December 2017 and still haven't heard anything back yet if I passed or not
