  1. Got on track in sept MNRR. LIRR has been hiring for positions as well. No freeze
  2. Shoot me a email gacerra1@verizon . Net
  3. Good luck! Whens the class going in? And whats the position/ starting pay just curious?
  4. The second background check was just a criminal questionnaire sheet that I had to fax within 48 hours along with my conditional offer.
  5. Hearing, vision, drug test, lung test, blood pressure, pulse.... then a sit down with a doctor and a exam to go over results etc
  6. No problem, if your medical is the same day as was mine expect to be there for 4-5 hours.
  7. Had 15, took me about 11. They definitely let you take your time, there was a video before we performed it. It was hot at track 100 of GCT. Make sure you hydrate, i was dripping.
  8. Applied, called year later, exam, background check tax returns etc, panel interview, criminal questionnaire, conditional offer, more paperwork. Physical abilities exam and drug test.
  9. How did you think the interview went? Was it a panel? I have my physical ability test on tuesday for MNRR. I’ve accepted my conditional offer. Class is sept. Heard 10-15 guys will be hired.
  10. It doesnt really mean anything. Ive been called for positions that were just “applied” and “pre screening” as well
  11. Supervisors and they will call former employers. I wouldnt put down knowing anyone. They have a big no nepotism policy.
  12. Yes indeed 10 years of background information.
  13. They will ask for professional references and i had to submit wage and income forms from irs , pay stubs and w-2’s. I woudnt disclose off books. IMO
  14. I believe all the benefits are generally the same some what getting a call from the mta for a position is like hitting the lotto. NYCT is civil service and you have to take a test to be appointed. The other commuter railroads you apply and they pick you. Best of luck to you!
  15. Staten island railway is different from metro north, as long island rr is also different. They are all handled differently.
  16. Yes that was the first step was an exam
  17. Panel interview with 2 people lots of questions about safety and team work like pretty much every question referred to those
  18. Took me 1 year to hear about track. Class is sept.

  20. Acting Chairman Ferrer opened his remarks by expressing his condolences and asked for a moment of silence for the lost lives of three occupants of a vehicle that was struck along the Long Island Rail Road’s right-of-way in Westbury and he expressed his wishes for the speedy recoveries of those who were injured. He announced that Scott Rechler resigned from the Board and thanked him for his service especially as the Chairman of the Construction Costs Working Group. He introduced two new board members: Sarah Feinberg, former Federal Railroad Administration Administrator, and David Mack, real estate executive and former MTA Board Member. Acting Chairman Ferrer stated that the MTA is under significant financial stress and it is projecting an operating budget deficit of almost $500 million next year, growing to nearly $1 billion by 2022. He stated that the fare and toll increases would be voted on, which are critical to the MTA’s efforts to avoid service reductions and other negative consequences, as they would bring in additional revenue of $336 million annually but it is not enough to fund the Capital Program or close the operating deficit. With regard to MTA reform, Acting Chairman Ferrer stated that a company-wide hiring freeze was implemented for all non-essential and non-represented employees; an executive committee was established to ensure that every vacant MTA job is still absolutely necessary before hiring to fill that position; all operating agencies, including MTA headquarters and MTA Capital Construction, have been asked to identify $500 million in annually recurring savings; the MTA is reducing the hourly rates of consultants and vendors by ten percent; and the MTA is working on consolidating back office functions within operations, between Long Island Rail Road and Metro-North in particular, and enterprise-wide. The details of Acting Chairman Ferrer’s remarks are contained in the video recording of this meeting, produced by the MTA and maintained in MTA records, and the MTA’s and other agencies’ minutes of the meeting of this date. cited: http://web.mta.info/mta/news/books/pdf/190327_0900_Board.pdf
  21. Mnrr and lirr are two separate commuter rails. One may not effect the other. There was a hiring freeze for non essential employees. Im not sure what car repairman is classified as, you can watch the mta board on youtube and they often bring up hiring and freezes mind you the videos are usually 2 hours long.
