So I got the email about pre-employment this morning. Shot off an email to some people about my situation being on medical hold already (placed about a month ago) but being asked to do pre-employment again. I don't want to miss an opportunity so I'll do it all over again if needed.

I had gotten a email from  Olha Nyahay 

and I been waiting for medical since Oct 26

428x

”We did not reach your list number for the second step. You will be invited for another pre-employment process.”

like they lost my application or something why would have to redo pre-employment 

but employment operation said 

they mostly call me next week or the following

How do I know  if I passed opa

You should get a email like this 

got mine Feb 2019 so imagine  the wait because of COVID 

This is New York City Transit notifying [person name] that you have passed the qualifying Oral Proficiency Assessment for Conductor, exam number 6601. Your name will remain on the eligible list for future hiring needs, and once your number is reached, you will be contacted for pre-employment processing. To find out what list number we are up to please call 212/669-1357 and follow the system prompts.

Facts but defensive driving can do only so much for you I only care because I’m a part time plumber/ truck delivery driver and points on my license is not something I need 

I had red light ticket because a cop was in his feeling was trying hard to find something 

had like 10 cop cars on me that night just because I had a vest, handcuff, gun belt but I work as a armed armored truck driver 
 

Long story short, when I was in pre employment I was told to come back when I finished getting rid of the ticket 

so on that same day I went to dmv and plead guilty even tho I had plead not guilty

and went back same day to the same guy who was doing my application and then I was able to do my urine test

Thanks sooo much for the info!!! I see they are up to 4800s on the list  for pre-employment and I’m in the 4900s does this mean that it can be soon that they call me ?

I waited about two years after opa for pre-employment but that because the world slow down from the COVID

So what should I have ready? And does medical come with pre/employment? And what kind of drug test is it? Hair or piss test?

When the time come your get email for pre employment ( basically to bring your original documents even HS diploma, or college transcript) the email will tell you what you need 

Piss test

then after that you would have to wait for medical, and if you pass medical you get sworn in that same day and get a start date for school car

Happy new years to you all!

Wow, operator is 36 an hour, that's great. Conductors start around 24 or so, correct? 

thanks 

I am currently waiting on conductor medical 

428x 

and they on 4230 something

but I am not planning on staying as a conductor

The OPA is the Oral Proficiency Assessment  they show you pictures of scenarios and they ask you what you would do in that situation.

Not sure of the starting rate when I was a conductor back in 2020 a year in the rate was 24.74, I'm now a train operator so not sure. It takes 5 years to reach top pay.

It's easy just need to take exams for certain titles like if you wanted to go from conductor to train operator or from conductor to ATD (Assistant Train Dispatcher).

The schedule is all over the place until you get to pick a job, so your tours and days off can change week to week.

The best part that was for me was the learning experience, the benefits and the pay. Worst part was dealing with the schedule changes and dealing with irate customers that's why I moved to the front even though I still got to deal with the schedule changes.

I’m also switching to train operator 

waiting for pre employment

list they on 3400s

im 3900s

Something might have happened in your application process if they haven't contacted you for this long.  You should follow up if you can or ask if your drug test was a pass or fail.

Also keep in mind that = if you had ur Drug Test oct 15th....it's expired already. it's only valid for 30 days. 

So if they decide to call you back / email you back - they will tell you to do the Drug Test AGAIN.....THEN continue with your medical.  

Drug test don’t last for 30 days

three Months

 That why they said  3-90 days to hear from them

So what does this mean? We just have to wait and there might not be another class? I see people says the list is going to extend but since they made it to us technically we don't have to worry?

They going to have to extend the list

ita take one year to schedule a test date and establish it 

currently there no other text number out 

we had to wait for the list that was extend to finished also the city shut down is the reason why they are behind schedule

Did you mean to post this in buses? Staten Island Railway is a separate agency. They hire their own conductors.

In general if Staten Island having shortage of staff just Imagine

No one knows for sure or else someone would've posted that information here by now. I know that HR also doesn't know if the list will be extended beyond the 2/2022 expiration. They are waiting for the news as well.

Look like they going to extend it,

today they had a shortage of workers in Staten Island

After going through Induction this week, sounds like they're going to still be doing a lot of hiring. We had about 24 or 25 Conductors in our class, which was one of the smallest ones this year.
