Finally! Got the email for S&D overview, Hillside for Nov 9th 8:00am sharp.

is it recommended to drive or take the LIRR to Hillside? I’m not too familiar with the area. Also, is there an expected timeframe well be in the facility? I work mid-evening, wanted to know if I need to schedule time off or I can wing it through.

tia.

Went a few weeks ago and there was a lot of parking through the streets, I would leave extra early just in case

Just a quick Q, who sends the s&d overview emails btw? Just wanted to make sure I don’t delete it accidentally. 

And if you don’t make the cut do they send you an email telling you?

All emails from the start came from Michelle Drew. I got my email a week before the overview.

I agree with iron horse. I learned them separately. I passed with a 100 on July 16. Still waiting.....

The instructor during the overview said classes are *most likely* early 2019, hopefully you receive info on the medical soon

@IronHorse and @Two2Go thanks for the tips you both mentioned. 100 is the goal!

Anyone know the criteria of who they choose for the S&D overview? Is it based on the overall test grading and interview portion? Or just the interview?

 

I’m hoping it’s overall but then again I don’t think I did too bad on the interview. It seemed as if my interviewer was going down a checklist of general questions really fast, thinking back in the moment I could’ve gave better answers. They were about my past experience, and how I can cope with the A/C process. How did your interview go?

Has anyone who attended 9/21 open house received an email from HR yet? 

Nope. But from reading prior posts in this specific thread I can inference that those who get invited for the S&D overviews tend to receive their emails 3-4 days prior to the actual overview. For the October 10th overview, I think candidates should be receiving their invites either towards the end of this week or perhaps even the start of next week. As for those who will be put into the November 9th overview pool, there might be about a 4 week wait for that invite. Even though I haven't been expecting the invite for the past week it still doesn't stop me from checking my email every couple of hours though 😁. Excited for the process and I can't wait to get started

Nope still waiting...from what I’m hearing the next classes are scheduled for sometime in 2019

During the Open House, Linda said that they are working on the scheduling of 2019 classes. I’m thinking you guys should be good to go sometime the beginning of next year. 

Just got back from Open House. Passed all 3 exams and I think I had a good interview. That cognitive test in terms of difficulty was the challenging part. Hoping for the best.

Some dates to keep in mind:

S&D overviews:

October 10th

or

November 9th

I have not been through the process, but it depends  on the amount of experience . I just copy and paste from my resume. Since the box is small I just delete some spaces. So instead of bulleted sentences, It just looks run on sentences. Plus you can add or delete relevant info just make sure the app matches whats on your resume.

Thanks for your help. I left the most relevant details in the app and removed the ones I didn't from my resume.

Good luck tomorrow! 👍

For those who drove to Babylon for the open house, how was the parking around the municipals? I’m reading mixed reviews where some say it’s impossible as some say it’s fine if you park further and not right by the station. TIA.

If I am not mistaken I think the reason parking may end up being limited is because residents might have parking permits to park in front of their houses/community for the village of Babylon (this occurs in some parts of LI). 

Also -- For those who have been through the process if on the application I was not able to fit all descriptions of duties for a job is this an issue, should I remove the duties not listed on my application from my resume? Thank you for any insight.

I don't think this would be a moving violation, unless you were issued a ticket as a result of the accident? I don't think it'll be a problem. I have a classmate who had a number of speeding tickets. He was rejected as an Engineer due to the speeding tickets, but they hired him as a conductor. One accident shouldn't cause a problem.

Thanks for clearing that up. And no, there was no ticket issued just a normal police report. Definitely relieved some tension on my end as I anticipate for the open house in 14 days. 

Also -- Good luck to all who's attending the overview in a few days :)!!

Just a quick question on anyone who might have the knowledge -- is an accident on your driving record considered a moving violation? I was involved in a minor accident about 4 years ago (the only accident on my record) and I am hoping that this doesn't swindle my chances. Any thoughts would be appreciated :) Thank you!

A huge thank you to everyone who previously provided feedback and information about the overall process. I just got an invite to the next open house on September 21st in Babylon. Good luck to all!!
