I have a question as well. Once your list number is reached and assuming you meet all relevant qualifications, do you still have to “pass” the interview? Or is the interview process more of a formality at that point. Reason I’m asking is because some city jobs like fire alarm dispatcher they give preference to those with relevant experience and who interview well, regardless of how high you scored on the multiple choice test

After you pass the exam and your list number is reached, is the interview also evaluated as part of the hiring process? For example in DSNY, the only thing that matters is if you score high enough on the exam for your number to be called within the next few years. The interview there is more of a formality and not counted as part of hiring (you still have to pass physical and medical).

Just received an email today saying the exam has been postponed.

Hi all. I also received a letter today for the exam scheduled on March 29

Just following up on this thread. With the exam being almost 2 weeks away, has anyone receive anything a of  yet?

Nothing here yet. I did send my application literally on the last day it was due but as long as it got postmarked it shouldn't be a problem

Has anyone that applied gotten a letter yet? I know they said something about sending one 10 days after the examination.

I applied but didn't receive a letter yet. I think they said to contact them if you don't  receive a letter 4 days BEFORE the exam date

Checking to see if materials for the exam are out to study with. Also, are there similar exam books out, not particularly these exam numbers?

 

Thanks!

The exam is basic reading comprehension similar to other civil service exams you might have taken. I saw some sample practice exams posted here in these forums, maybe if someone knows they can post their exact location

Is this position the same as station agent, working in the booths? 

I signed for the exam which is in March. At first I thought this was for the station agent position but now I'm not so sure. Does anyone know more about this?

Anyone know when the next train operator or conductor exam will be given?
