Trackhead

Congrats to those of you who have been hired off 8600  and those of you who will be.  I was hired off 3600 a few years ago. Just want to say hardest part of this job is getting past the hiring process.  They will find anything to turn you away. Dont give up.  If you have any questions feel free to ask. Other wise once you are hired.  If you dont mind working nights you got a ok paying job. Anyone seen their mini pick yet?  Welcome to track ill see yall in the Hole. Pause

I was wondering something i see alot of people on here say the drug test is only good for 30 days.   I also remember reading thats for conductors. And track is 90.  Would they call you in for medical after 30 days and have you do medical and. Drug test that day?

A little inside info. I was at livingston today and medical was quiet again. They were doin some positions pre employment on the other side. The first few times the place was packed. Other than that not much goin on.  Pray you get one of the cool d r ,s bc let me tell you i dont feel like i got one

That’s weird man I was sworn in and an employee just hours after medical, all in the same day.

I love hearing this result. Because i thought thats what was guna happen to me I thought i had the while routine figured out. And was just guna go with the flow. But damm they been putting me theough the ringger. I been over to livingston street atleast 8 times now and still no end in sight. 

I was first contacted for pre employment back in early sept. Nothing cane of that. I think they jumped the gun and i was called for pre employment again 2 1/2 weeks ago. Same week was called in for medical. Now this field test nonsense. In guna loose my job if they dont hire me soon

Is it possible im going through this bc i have a hearing aid?  My number is in the mid 3600"s

No. That's not how the HR Department works. Even when I was processed for Bus Operator back in late 2013/early 2014, I was never in the operator's seat of an MTA Bus until Day 1. Same thing goes for Conductors, Train Operators, etc.

If there was a field test, it would be called a "practical skills test" which would have been mentioned on the Notice of Examination. A sample of that can be seen here. And here is the link for the Notice of Examination for 3600.

Thats what the called it when they called me today. Practical skill test.  What are they guna make me do?

I was wondering if anyone was ever called over the phone and asked to come in for a field test?
