Stupid question, so when you're sworn in, that's the final job offer right? I wanna make sure I resign from my current job at the right time.

When you get passed for medical you get sworn in the same day. They give you the date of when your class will start and you have to resign your current Job before that date.

Hey guys I got sworn in today for the Aug 30th class.  When would be the best time to put in my 2 weeks for both my current jobs?

I put my two weeks today to depart from my current job on the 26th and have a nice 3 day weekend. You should be resigning before the 30th though so you do you.

Question! Just got my canvas email today. Are we only supposed to fill out the pre employment application form or the entire attached document?

the entire document, just read carefully and don't fill out anything you don't know. Sign everything that requires a signature.

Don't bother buying a few because u gonna get some issued to u as part of your uniform. Buy maybe 2 pairs of navy blue Dickies or anything similar. Actually, u can just buy red kap brand on Amazon which are cheap and are the assigned pants anyway(altho they just switched uniform companies so they might be using a different brand). Make sure they don't have cargo pockets, just regular work pants. But yeah i wouldn't buy too many, 2 at most.

Cool thanks man, I appreciate you.

Hey guys, for those that are already in class, what kind of pants is the best option? I have all black jeans pretty much but I don't think that is acceptable attire for them. I know it says dark blue, where do they sell those cuz imma buy a few.

Great News now question are you Mild? If so then they wont bother with you every again about this i believe if you aren't..

Then  every six months they are going to ask for machine readings

I have mild sleep apnea on a low level. So the doctor said I’m good. Plus I got a gastric bypass so I’m going to be losing a lot of weight. I’m good for the rest of my career. 

Good Morning guys, wanted to give the forum an update about the sleep apnea test before medical. I went in yesterday for medical and it turns out that the doctor accepted the test I took. So please let it be known that they do accept sleep apnea test if you take it before medical. It just has to be recent. I was sworn in yesterday for the August 30th class. Thank all of you for all the help and god bless. I will see you guys in training. LETS CRUSH IT!!!!!

Hey guys I have my drug test appointment tomorrow at 8am!!  Is wearing a tie necessary??  

Not at all, just business casual. Polo shirt is fine with slacks and all black sneakers, maybe some dress shoes if you have them. That's how I do it and they are fine with it.

May I get the info on where you went? I currently don’t have insurance and i just want to get it over with. That’s if they accept it in advance.

I did mine through 14 Street Medical Arts.

Also another thing, Jesus Christ on a cross... the paperwork for medical day is insane. I was literally filling out documents last night for hours trying to make everything perfect. I filled everything to the best of my knowledge. I know that the dates for my previous employment are not perfect but around the time I started and Resigned... I hope that doesn't become a problem.

Bring it in and show it. I don't think they will make u do it again, but if they do, just have your doctor give u the same clearance letter again with a later date. I don't see how they can prove u didn't do it again. Not like u got apnea in the couple of weeks between that.

I honestly don't think they will make me do it again. Plus they should be happy that people are being efficient with time and getting things done on their end to get the job sooner.

"Yea, this seems weird. I myself had the sleep study done in advanced and the MTA doctor put me on medical hold until I could bring the results in. Took my doctor another week for the results to come in and thankfully it was just mild sleep apnea (below 16), and I was sworn in."

That's what I'm saying, there is a lot of conflicting messaging in here about certain things. I went to get a sleep test done because I knew I had a high BMI and a bigger than 17 inch neck size. Then I see a post that says that doctors aren't accepting that. It's frustrating because I paid money to get this test done and I only have very mild sleep apnea which means I don't need a CPAP machine. I got my results and everything in time for medical tomorrow. I need to know. Will that be accepted or no?

Congrats you got this just make sure you don't join the fat neck gang or hairy chest gang 

Lol I already got my shaving cream ready and my machine for the night before medical lol. I got my sleep apnea test done before I go in for medical because I'm part of big neck gang at the moment. I got cleared from the pulmonologist. I'm ready bro bro.

I would suggest contacting Ms. Vargas: Michelle.Rivera-Vargas@nyct.com

Would someone be able to tell me how MTA contacts you for the medical? Is it a phone call or an email? Or both? 

They Usually do Text, Call and Email

I always thought parking tickets just go away it’s kinda hard to remember parking tickets from when I was 18. Definitely confused here as well. And as far as yours it’s considered pending until it’s resolved. Happen to me when I went in for BO 

That’s what I’m saying though… BO is different to TO in MTAs eyes from what the Pre-employment desk told me at 180 when I went for the drug test. No abstract or DL required. Unless you’re driving company vehicles (busses and vans not trains). 

Wait you mean parking tickets or moving violations? mine is a driving while device in hand that I’m trying to fight because I wasn’t using my phone. The cop was just having a bad day I guess or trying to fill up his quota.

It must be resolved before you are hired and present the papers to Transit that it's closed.

But if I pay it off I'll get points on my license, I'll be guilty. And as I stated before. The front desk said you don't need a driver abstract as a T/O. I'm pretty confused rn.

47 minutes ago, Jericho said:

I don't recall what it said on the form, but it wouldn't hurt to put it down that it was resolved. In the end, what Transit cares about is that you don't have outstanding summons you have to pay back.

For y'all reading this, if you are coming in and have outstanding tickets, pay them off ASAP.

 

Usually they'll double check and if there is something wrong, they'll get back to you about it.

What if they are tickets that are being fought in court? Just remembered I got a Lawyer fighting one for me. Plus. MTA Train Operator is not a Driving Job, I asked the front desk if they needed a driving abstract or records of driving and they said no because you won't be driving any company vans or busses.

How long after turning in the canvassing paperwork did you guys hear back

Usually within the next week.

"Meaning people are declining the job temporarily and later on they’ll put themselves back on the list"

Ah ok thanks
