Pre-employment for me starts this week! I found some numbers for MTA corporate HR and higher-ups (through forums @+Young+ belonged to) and basically called them and spoke to someone at The MTA Interim Presidents office who forwarded my info to HR, whom then called me back and scheduled an appt w/ me right then and there on the phone. @Kenstyles thank u for the tip on referencing other threads on this forum, becuz tht bit of info totally worked out. Blessings and now I gotta figure out all the jobs I worked at since High School?! 😩😵‍💫🥴 Kinda nervous abt tht becuuuuz it's totally been a lot and I just hope it won't be frowned upon? U guys gve me ur that's abt tht please! And I'll b sure to follow-up w/ u guys on how pre-employment went 🙏🏾

Lucky! I'm way in California till July/August and i can't get anyone on the phone and I've sent multiple emails since the start of last week when i 1st got the pre employment date email.... My appointment is next week and nobody has reached back out to me to reschedule for a later date or just put my name on hold. I heard you can do it up to 3 times.

Man keep trying! Even write them a letter with signature confirmation and put all the the information in it. Test number, list number, your phone number your email… Everything!

Yes it the same benefits but I forgot what it is that TA have better than the rest. I’m in the process too. 🇹🇹

So TA has the NYCER pension program. It’s a pension program that most NYC workers have. So you have the option to go to a different city job and keep your pension if you go to TA. You won't lose time in service. OA has a different pension program that’s not part of NYCER. So if you are OA and you go to a different city job you have to start from the beginning.

TA is really good, are you already in MTA or you in process.

Still in the process. Took both tests. TA called first. From what I understand it's the same exact benifts. Just the depots might be different. BTW 🇹🇹

Does anyone know what list number they are up to? I got called for TA but really wanted Mabstoa because I don't want to end up in Brooklyn or Queens. I live in the Bronx.

Yup! I emailed and that's what they told me to do. Thanks for the response.

So they said just bring it right? No need to email it?

What happened to Young?

I'm wondering the same thing. I thought he was waiting for this call too

Thank u for your input Kenstyles, much appreciated from what seems like a well-seasoned person of expertise. Desperately waiting 🤞🏾🙏🏾😔

I'm not well seasoned at all 😅 I’ve been waiting just like everyone else. I’ve just been gathering Intel from the conversation threads from the older tests.

I, too, have received the phone calls in January stating they'll call me at the end of February. However, I haven't received a call yesterday like some commenters have stated above. My list # starts with the number 8. Hoping I hear something back this week. 🤞🏾

Hey April they only call a few hundred at a time process everybody and then call the next batch of people. Since you’re in the 800s they’ll probably call you in 2–3 weeks.  From what I understand 2–300 people start the training every couple of weeks.

Does anyone know if we need to email back the fill out pre employment application or simply print it out and bring it to the interview. In the email it said to print out the application and bring it to office. However in the application, it's stated to email the application and supporting documents.

Hey Tony, I noticed the same exact discrepancy! So I'm assuming that the wording on the application is outdated and the information in the email is the most up-to-date/current. 

I'm thinking they did want you to email them in the past but they found it a pain to go through 500+ emails containing application every few weeks. So they are just asking to fill out, print and bring with you so when you are they in person they can go over the application with you in front of them at their leisure. (This is just an educated guess though so take that with a grain of salt.)

Hey I have a question. The points on the abstracts gets to be counted from the date of violation or the date of conviction? Received a 5 points violation on 03/11/2018 but got convicted on 2/14/2020. If since 2018 it’s a little over 4 years! Please help. I need to know. Thank u 

Go on the DMV website and download your abstract it's $7 dollars. See if the points are still on there

how much time is there between day 1 of processing (drug test) and day 2 of processing (medical) for TA

how much time is there between day 1 of processing (drug test) and day 2 of processing (medical) for NYCTA

It's March...has anyone from 1-300 been called?

I went in for stage 1 of the employment process. I gave my work history and drug test a week ago. I haven't received any correspondence for Step 2  which I was told would happen after 72 hours. I know I passed the drug test and background. I have no tickets or accidents. Does anyone know what could be the reason?

Any update? What is your list number?

What is your list number? They said they are going to START calling from this list at the end of February...But they also said the same thing in November.

Hard to say for sure but based on what I’ve been reading on this thread probably late 2022

If anyone has been called for the drug test, medical or is scheduled to start training, let me know. Trying to update the info blurb across all of these topics.

I need your list # range and exam #, what you did at pre-employment thus far and what date you're starting training.

TIA

I'm list #17xx and no call or anything yet besides the initial canvas letter back in August

So I got an email today from Car Equipment Employment Operations which isn’t an exam I applied for with a letter stating I wasn’t not selected. The letter has my name and address with social as the letter head but then says Dear, Melissa XXXXX which is clearly another candidates name. So now I’m not sure if the letter is for me which I doubt it for this Melissa girl and the car operations exam she may have taken. Any thoughts on what to do? Has this happened to anyone else? The email is a mess smh.

That sounds crazy. How did they get your social mixed up with another person’s name and address?

Do hope they start to call from this list soon. Is the pay rate for B/O the same with NYCT and MABSTOA? 

Everything is identical...that's why I don't understand why people say TA is better.

I wonder why I'm list number 17** and they are calling in the 4 THOUSANDS? 🤣 makes no sense. 

How many people took this test?

welp. it's my turn. i go there on tuesday for final processing and then to the class starting 10-24-21. but they say dont resign from current job. how this gone work now 🤔

What is your list number?

Can they legally tell another human what to put in our body for a job? What if someone wants to wait to see the real side effects that takes years.

Guys I have a question and is, do I have to wait until they reach my # on the list to get call for hiring even though I already have my CDL B with all my endorsements??? 
 
BTW I’m # 2,390

yes, they go by the list numbers not the licenses. It would make sense for them to put in licensed drivers first but unfortunately thats not how they do it.
