I got my conditional offer of employment today and go in for medical next week. I am beyond excited for this.

Did you get yours yet guys?

I got a list number from someone in the office the other day. The number they told me was like 1,000 away from me. Then ppl on here say one thing and other ppl say other things. Idk what is what. But congratulations!!! Good luck to you.

Really. Sounds pretty good. What does a track worker start at as a track worker? Sorry for all the questions. But this is helping me tremendously. 

*nyc transit track worker start at?

Just now, Zoey said:

I didn’t apply for LIRR so I have no idea and yeah you get all that good stuff like your pass and a pension. I’m getting older so everyday counts at this point lol

LIRR does interviews from what I understand. NYCT does not for this title. LIRR has a good union but NYCT has local 100. Does LIRR allow Track Workers to take promo exams? NYCT does allow Track Workers to promote to multiple titles like Train Operator, Power Distribution or Maintenance Supervisor all having civil service protections while doing so.. without an interview. Does LIRR allow that? If not then I’d stick with NYCT for sure

 

What is the difference between pay? Does the nyc transit let you ride the subways and LIRR for free? Does the nyc transit have a pension? 

Just now, Marv said:

If they are in the 1000s, I’m really close then bc I’m 1185 on certification sequence number. 

Also what’s the difference between nyc transit and LIRR? Is there much of a difference?

Ok so it’s reasonable to say you are further down the list. Right now I’d say people getting called have a low 1000s list  and that’s for the drug test. 

If they are in the 1000s, I’m really close then bc I’m 1185 on certification sequence number.

Have you heard from nyc transit yet?

lirr does Long Island mean obviously. Depends where you want to live and work.  I like the idea of the fresh air if they even have that luxury 

I haven’t heard from nyc transit yet. But I’m 1185 on list I think. That’s my certification sequence number. I live in L.I. already so to me it doesn’t matter I just want a good job with good benefits and a pension. 

Just now, Zoey said:

I would probably say the end of this year depending on how many more vacancies they need. Seems like this list may be moving faster with the way things are looking. If they need this 250 headcount they’ll have to go through the mid 1500’s to make that if I’m doing the math right. Hopefully someone with a list number around that range can chime in

I got called for an interview for LIRR track worker also. Waiting to see if they call me also. Which one is better? 

1 minute ago, Zoey said:

That means right now, there are that many people ahead of you before you’re considered. Not that far away. I was around the cert #900’s last year and now I’m in the 50’s and got the email. You’ll hit those numbers soon.

 

Looks like I’m calling out.. think we’ll be in by March?

So like another 6 months to a year?

I don't know which number that is for you.

Certification sequence number

26 minutes ago, TraDon said:

Not 100% sure but leaning to yes. The description of the certification sequence number is the person's spot on the certification list. They have 250 track worker jobs to fill and they requested 9000 names. They received 7923 list numbers. Does not mean 7000+ people are getting a job. Just means the current certified list is long enough for them to get 250 people from. Some people will decline, not respond, fail drug testing or be placed on medical hold and never get off medical hold.

So that number says 1185. Does that mean I might get called?

The three different dates are all different certification dates. Pay no mind to dates that have come and gone already. It just means that your list number was one of X amount of list numbers certified for a certain amount of time. Your list number has to be certified first before you can begin the hiring process.

Is that the certification sequence number?

If you scroll over next to Track Worker, it says cert (Cert Seq No). That's the placement you want to look at. List numbers are important but it means nothing if you were hired, disqualified or were taken off for not responding which makes the cert numbers important. Those people won't be on the recertification. DCAS in this situation just lets the agency know who was restored and who must not get contacted anymore after the agency tells DCAS. It's kind of confusing at first but its a good indicator of whats going on. List number 16 is cert #1. They were taken off of the list for not responding to NYCT so the agency told DCAS. Person contacted DCAS, got restored and now DCAS recertified and they must be the first to be considered because they have the lowest list number in the recertification and so on. You can basically see who got restored by looking at any list number under like the 900's who now wants to get on. 

I don’t understand all that stuff it shows on the list. My name comes up 3 times with different dates. Confused

Contact examsunit@nyct.com Let them know. You’ll need to tell them your full name, exam number, list number and your last 4 SSN and whatever your new contact information is and they’ll respond back eventually. You’re in the 2400’s so you aren’t that far off Marv 

Thanks. I appreciate it

I’m in the 50’s. Looks like there’s a lot of people between 1000-1200 that didn’t respond to their emails from what I’m seeing. Basically the agency lets DCAS know who isn’t responding so they take people off the recertification and DCAS lets the agency know who was restored so list number 16 got first dibs and it works it’s way up. I’m 130x and there are only 50 people ahead of me for appointment. That’s not a lot of people surprisingly 

Is there anyone I can call to let them know I moved? Just wanna give them my new information and stuff.

Is there anyone who I can call to let them know I moved and give them all my new info?

They just recertified the list and put 250 vacancies.

I’m in the 24xx’s are they even close to that? 

Where can I find out what number I’m at? 

23 minutes ago, Marv said:

That’s probably why then. 

I took NYC transit track worker too. Passed with a 92.5 but idk what number I am on the list. Where do I find that? 

That’s probably why then.

Correct 

Is that for nyc transit? I went for an interview with LIRR yesterday and said you had to pick things up like 100lbs. Maybe the 2 are different?

Hey i got 5 years with being a track worker answering your first question it all depends on what you pick capital days or night tend go have at least more people in gangs than maintenance days or nights., ot is voluntary you are not forced to work any doubles unless there is a state of an emergency which is rare to happen and snow duty. As far as brooklyn locations it all depends on seniority and if you willing to work night or days hope this sums up most of track . 

What is the physical like before you get hired? How much weight do they make you pick up and other things they do?

that I wouldn't know, you would have to get in touch with DCAS i think. Can try searching the old trackworker thread for numbers to livingston street to call and ask too.

Thanks I call Livingston and see if someone can direct me.
