Hey guys it’s been a while since I logged on I been really busy with training and all I started 11/9/20 . I’m glad to hear many of you will be starting class soon and congrats on the department you got placed in!!. I was placed in power, within power they have other sections such as cables, testing, zones, and system operations. I was placed in system operations, the department is short staffed and are pushing people to move up fast, my helper class is taking some classes maintainer  classes take that’s how much they are rushing I would love to see some of you in this department. I have friends in elevator and escalators and other departments and for some reason you have to take a test to get transferred to power if you already in other department and many fail and idk why... so maybe you could ask you get placed here in the first place if you wish I promise you will not regret it.  But regardless you guys have a foot in already congrats brothers welcome it’s uphill from here. 

Also did you have to wear interview clothing for the final process?

Does anyone know if having points on your liscense effect you of being hired for the position. 

I think as long as you dont have a dui or reckless driving you should be good, anything small like 3-4 pt tickets are fine, i have a red light ticket for 3 pts under mine.

michelle.lewis2@nyct.com is the email i was given when i called that number. She was the one who gave us our canvass letters, email her and ask for an update with subject line "TEH 9624". Shes usually very busy but if all email her maybe she will reply back. I was the one who called to remind her that none of us had received our invitation to drug test so im guessing she has alot on her plate. Send her an email when you guys can PLEASE.

Send her an email today, and she will probably get back to us this week. We gotta be loud and annoying.

This is all so confusing, some haven't drug tested, or heard back from canvass letter some one got hired right off the jump.

So I called this number 347 643 8197 and the lady who answered said that those who got called back to take the drug test are part of a pilot program because supposedly were provisional and suppose to hear back in the next two weeks. I told her that I paid for the exam so i don’t understand how it’s provisional because no where in the application says that. She stated that if I didn’t get a list number or a position before comming in for drug test were all part of preliminary people who past. Guys call this number she prolly can explain it better than I can. 

So basically we all just have to sit and wait?

Whoever did drug test already, did you guys get in contact with employment?

3476437143 is the employment center number which is for anyone who already took drug test. Call and see whats up! i emailed them but we should all bug them

Sorry that I haven’t been able to update you guys since my last post on Friday I wasn’t able to log in my email to reset my password for this site. But anyways on Friday I got an email asking if I’m interested in the job still, and the email also included which section they want to put me in and the salary they want to give me. Then on Monday I got an email With like 50-70 pages worth of things to print and fill out to bring in today. Today was the continuation of the medical exam eyes, chest, pee again, hearing, blood pressure and you also have to do some things on the computer. Then you have to speak to the doctor and he decides if you’re clear to work or not by signing a paper. (Try not to get placed on medical hold!) before I left I was told I’ll get contacted again soon I’m guessing is for my finger prints and ID. Today’s whole process took me about 4 hours. 

What section did ya get?

Nothing on this end.

Just now, Alex138 said:

In that case we should be getting news at the end of this week or the next because it’s already mid way through October and if they trying to have us in classes by the end of the month they have to finish processing all of us first 

True i really hope so. But it is the MTA and covid so lets sit back, communicate and have patience. Ill alert you guys asap if i receive anything!

Thanks, and The lab?? What else are they testing for? I thought the drug test was the last thing you had to pass 

After drug test is a physical and and ID i think, the lab meaning class We get taught in a class i guess to prepare us for certain things on the job.
