there was a bulletin posted a few days ago regarding the media and DiBlasio or somebody saying financial cuts need to be made in the MTA and the last resort is laying people off..ill take a picture of it later..and again, 8 guys literally started 2 weeks ago so keep your hopes up..MTA is always saying they are broke and not to mention, TWU contract is up in June or July so it could be a bargaining point

They may actually be broke this time lol smh and what is the TWU contract

This whole shit is a drag smh.They hiring system is really backwards. Good looking for the heads up tho @MaxFever @GerardL

Just talked to my buddy in the #7609 lot and he said they're getting their permanent papers. He's going on Tuesday. Hopefully we get called soon.

👌🏽👌🏽

I hope they just mean they making those provisional people on that list who are already in permanently when she says she finishing up 7609 and not actually hiring.

Yeah i have friends from the previous one as well who are provisional he actually sent me a photo a couple of them just got offered full time perm theyre going on the 11th & 12th to livingston, he told me he was on the phone asking questions and the lady kept saying im finishing up 7609 7609 7609; im assuming the guys going into perm probably ?? Who knows though man

That’s crazy they still hiring people off that list. I feel like that mean there’s still people on that 8606 list they gonna call before us or haven’t finished being that was after 7609. Shits gonna be awhile till we hear anything

somebody said today that new helpers are coming next week from outside..not sure how true it is but i will keep you guys updated

Thanks for letting us know. I wonder if those are helpers from last electrical helper exam(8606) and still got ppl from that list ahead of us because nobody on this thread seem to have even taken a drug test. At least I don’t think it’s any helpers from the 8611 examination. 

What’s up everyone. I’m currently waiting to hear back from transit for transit electrical helper position for drug test. I took my safety proffiecy assessment in November and haven’t heard back yet. Usually it’s normal to hear back by now after taking that. I heard they cut the OT down till like April so I guess that’s the window when they will let up on this hiring freeze.

Same, starting to look for a part-time job while waiting to hear from these guys. 

I’m already an Jr electrician at my job now , I just wanna get out of here already. Getting tired of it here. Only thing we could do is be patient knowing it’s on the way.

Any updates? 

Nothing over here either. Hoping real soon. And we don’t gotta wait till April cause of this hiring freeze and them owing a lot of money.

MTA was over $1.2 billion in the hole this year..if you search for the article you will find it..we were told OT was cut until March 31st..anything can happen, you guys could finish processing and start 1st week of April or they could wait til then to start processing..only thing you can do is wait

Thanks for heads up 👌🏽

I think he's saying that, because the MTA has an OT freeze/hiring freeze that they won't hire us till aleast march when the freeze is over. 

Damn that sucks

dont necessarily need it..here is the last NOE

also, we have an OT freeze until the end of March which i think goes hand in hand with hiring...within the next 5 years, ALOT of foreman and maintainers are retiring, thats why this hiring frenzy is beginning

Or are u saying that because of the OT freeze currently that they will hire us now during this process ?

So they are most likely holding out on hiring until March ? And if it’s a frenzy shouldn’t that mean they should be bringing people in fast.

i actually think that means we should be hired by then considering they'll be starting a new wave of candiates

Seems like they don't have enough TEH applicants since they are planning to release another TEH exam application in 2019. 

"NYCT Transit Electrical Helper Exam#9624 Apr 5 - 23, 2019"

That’s typical of them to put out a new one event though they haven’t hired anyone off our list. They usually do that. If anything that would mean they gonna be bringing us in real soon. I heard mta is on a hiring freeze right now tho. Somebody who works for them told me.

Checking to see if anyone has any updates etc?

Haven’t heard anything yet. About a month from the spa is when they will most likely contact us back according to other forums.

I believe it went ok. I believe half the questions are supposed to be when your actual training..I hope this spa test dont effect the hiring process 

Well the spa does serve a effect. Serves to make sure you can comprehend English cause communication between you and person you working with will be important especially in cases where you are flagging or his life is sort of in your hands. Also to demonstrate you have safety conscious.

Feel free to bring you phone, but after they took you fingerprints and give you a number you will have to give up your phone ( they will keep it on the table with your number). After you passed SPA test, you told them what # you have and will receive you phone back. 

Ight thanks

For anybody who went to the spa already. Can I bring my cellphone in ? I know it says no electronic devices. That mean they just don’t wanna see it right.
