Don’t seem to understand why they gave us SPA so quickly. Kind of confusing.

According to the staff they said “to get it outta the earlier” lmao

Guy said they were still hiring people from last exam so I guess they still clearing up that list then ya and they still aren’t in the best finicial state I think so I don’t think we will hear anything for a min tbh. It’s not like they gonna ignore us. Patience is a virtue. It has been a long time. 

Helper exam was taken down looks like they are frozen

Nah I don’t think it makes sense. U already took 8611. Your name is ahead of that. I mean unless u feel like u gotta a really low score and didn’t do good on spa but they will get to us. Trust me this time they are taking is driving me nuts too. They haven’t contacted back anybody yet. 

Idunno bro something aint right rn 

New exam is dropping in a couple of days anyone going to reapply ?

It's been a long time....and almost April. Any news?

Nope i think were not gonna hear back until later when things get better on there end

If anything, they will be laying off the provisional employees first before permanent

Yeah but that doesnt benefit us either the last lay off was in 2010 and everyone got rehired so if that really does happen were never gonna get called at that rate

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

Thank you gerard i also seen the post already haha and i heard that too but wasnt that guys going perm from 7609?

Thanks a lot! That’s doesn’t sound good. Hoping we are hired soon. It’s sounding like a long drag lol.

If the situation was better we wouldve probably been in by now 😞

I also heard some bad news as the mta may be laying off people so its looking real slow for us as of now fellas

Hey guys I’m new to this group. I appreciate the info everyone shares here. I was wondering if someone can tell if experience is a must for the  TEH position?

I believe its education or exp

Thing is 7609 was just finalized and publicly Established on December 5th 2018 .. because this is Civil Service they have to completely exhaust that list of 545 eligible candidates before they can move on to the next exam of eligible candidates. 

Also most folks decline "provisional" offers and wait until the list is finalized and Established so that they can get "permanent" offers. 

I personally know someone who's from 7609 and he just recently got a letter to come in for the "SPA" so there's clearly a bottleneck somewhere along the hiring process for eligible TEH's. 

So were probably looking @ about a year maybe more till we hear back possibily lol

From what I know is that they're still not finished hiring candidates from Exam 7609.. which is the TEH Exam prior to 8611. 

Exam 7609 has 545 candidates that passed and are on that list according to DCAS.

Makes no sense because i have friends that got on from 8606 provisional TEH

I don’t get that either having us take the SPA so early which I though which would mean vacancies occur now it seem like they nowhere near close to us yet smh 

who knows whats really going on the person on the phone could probably have no idea either, or maybe she's not allowed to talk about it

Yeah, crazy man. Been getting crazy, first it was going to be December, then we held out till jan and now we're in feb. 

Me and you both bro i been dying to quit hahaha we can only wait bro no one really knows wassup smh heard mad different stuff

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.

Yup my boy sent me a pic theres about 15 going on monday, and 13 going on tuesday.. it doesnt make sense for us to do a spa and wait a year or so im hoping by march thats the logical thing to do but who knows whats going on honestly 

25 minutes ago, Chro said:

Didn't #7609 start a while ago? I know a few guys who I went to school with that were part of 7609 and they started last year? They're all waiting to be permanent though. And the guys after 7609 started also, the ones that applied in october/nov of 2017. Have a buddy in that section also. This whole thing is messed. 

 

Did the lady tell your friend when they were going to start calling those candidates? 

 

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

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. 

So i have a buddy that just called livingston and the lady said shes only hiring off of #7609 finishing that and then 8611 would be next supposedly if theres no inbetweens..
