I am not sure if the associate degree counts but you can always call up 180 Livingston HR and Ask. I didn't have experience but I had a bachelor (at the time of the test I only had an ASS but they never asked for proof or anything) . The test was easy, there were maybe 2 or 3 electrical questions (Simple Ohms Law and Power question, the formulas were given) and the rest was all comprehensions. They give you like a brief short story and then ask you a question about it, mostly safety stuff.

For sure.

Lol. Well now you know (y) Got all my cable info from him. He said it was the best job hes ever had.

As long as I can get Locust i'll be happy at this point lol Go chill with my buddy.

Not really sure what's going on lol. We did Right to Know last week. Track training is on thursday/friday.

I'm at 53rd Yes. Started on the 24th. Me and 3 other guys coming into cable. My friend started last year july or something like that. The power school dudes said that cable in BX was looking for a driver so who knows.

Yeah, BX Nights. Why the 22nd lol? They said 15th but who knows honestly. The teachers told me helpers in SO/Zones don't drive trucks. They drive SUVs and what not. Don't need a CDL. Idm getting a CDL for cable but i hate driving big ass cars in nyc.

I was told I should go on the 8th but they later came back and said the 15th. I am going to ask just to make sure. Have to go to Atlantic to get location, hopefully the bronx. And Idk man, I barely did anything in my previous job. I'm going to file my transfer first day but If i decide i like it then i'll definitely stay. My buddy in the cable section said he filed his 170 the first day but he liked it there so he decided to stay. The power school guys said that Helpers mainly drive, even in the other sections (SO/Zones).

Welp. I knew it was going to happen. Just got told I'm getting Cable along with 3 others. *Inset Sad Face Here*

You can log on now, the green paper they gave you has the info. The BSC# is just your emploee #. It's most likely going to be Power but do keep us updated!

People told me first day you start is when you get the pass.

I wanted to get in there also, they asked me to come in Thursday but i asked if i could come in Friday. I think if i went Thursday i could've gotten E&E but damn. I start this Monday, there's going to be a class the next Monday and so on and so forth. The guy behind me in the line starts on July 1st. There's alot of spots so no worries.

I called HR Department yesterday to see what I had to do to switch, they told me to come in and talk to Hiring Manager. So I went in and talked to the person who hired me, they said to talk to Michelle, she's incharge of all that. So I spoke to michelle and she said the only thing thats open right now is Power and sent me on my way home. Also, she was still making calls for people to come in so don't worry folks.

Oh cool, Thank for the info! Much appreciated.

He told me that they go off the list and seniors get to choose. Everyone I asked said getting BX is easy but you never know. Do you know if Elevators/Esc have a headquaters like BK/BX or are they all over the place? I like the idea of getting a bronx shift lol The power department is like 15 mins away from me.

Let me know if you figure it out, trying to do the same.

He works in the Bronx side, can't really give his name. Since you seem to know alot, would it be difficult to be set up in The Bronx? I know you don't really get to choose but I don't think The Bronx is a very desirable station for most people.

I have a friend in power and he said it's the toughest of the branches, and he said cable is the most intense in the power section lol Which section are you in and what is your opinion of it?

f**k man, you got lucky. They put me in power 😕 I'm going to see if maybe i can switch. And for people wondering, we are coming in as Permanent. I put provisional under one of the papers but the HR lady corrected me, she had me redo the whole page so it shows permanent.

Well they asked me when I could come in, so you might be able to ask for a later date.

Thank you btw. Was hoping they'd at least give me a week so I could end on a good note with my current job.

22x. I forget the exact #

Got a call from them today around 6:30. Medical this Friday, said if I pass I start on Monday.

My buddies said it's basically a dollar and some change yearly.
