I was at orientation today too. All I’m bringing are the papers I was given the day I was appointed and my rule book.

For those of you that are already on the job….What should we expect for Day 2 @ PS 248? What documents do we have to bring with us?

Idk what happened on my end. Took the drug test last week and never heard back. I definitely don’t do drugs or drink alcohol. No one has responded to my emails. And now I’m upset. I don’t know what the reason is.

They will likely want the test results itself.

Okay. Thanks

Okay my question is … can you bring in a letter from your doctor to the medical? That way if you know you have any issues they won’t put you on hold? Like I usually always fail the Ekg but I’m perfectly healthy nothing wrong with me. Are notes allowed before hand from a cardiologist or no?

Eye test, hearing test, piss test, blood pressure, ekg. Then you see the doctor. And if you pass all those things, and have a neck that measures bigger than 16.5 inches, you have to go for a sleep study. (My personal story)

I am sure this question and the answer is buried in here somewhere. But what exactly do they do for the medical? And about how long after drug test do you get called to come back in? Thanks in advance guys!!!

Yes plenty of parking garages I believe most are about 20 dollars for 12 hrs early bird special. Just don’t come in with an SUV. The placed I parked at was an extra 25 dollars for SUV. 

Would you get off my post!! Haha just kidding. Keep in touch though.

I wish my drug testing day was that quick. I had an 8:15 time and I didn't leave the building until after 1:30.

Oh wow! That’s a long day.

Most likely early morning Uber would be much cheaper then 70, but in the afternoon it would be expensive. Either way garage should be much cheaper then paying for two trips with Uber. 

Keep in touch!!!! My new friend haha

Hi Everyone!!! So today I completed my 1st step. It was a smooth easy process. I arrived at 5:45am. Plenty of parking garages very close by. So there should be no parking issues for anyone. Once I handed in all of my paperwork the next step was to walk over to the lab and take the urine drug test. Once that was completed, I was told I could go home. I was only there from 6:30am and I walked out of the building before 8am.

My Uber is like 70 dollars I’m sure I can find a parking lot for cheaper then that. 

I just looked it up. I didn’t think it would be $70. It’s the same for me. I’m coming from Staten Island. I’m going to do what you’re doing. Find a parking garage or something. That’s ridiculous $70.

Anyone knows how the parking situation is over there? Ironically I hate public transportation. 

I’m taking Uber lol

Business attire yes, have all the canvass papers complete and printed for them just in case, be there early, and most likely just drug test

Do the papers have to be signed before or you sign them when you get there?

17 minutes ago, Steph said:

Yes I have that same email but I go in tomorrow at 6:30. Does anyone know if this is not medical or drug testing? Also do we have to fill out the same 14 page canvas letter again. I received a link for that as well. Also dress code business attire?

Im high 19xx 

thank you. 

I’ll see you tomorrow at 6:30 lol even though I have no idea who you are hahah

Could it be problematic? I didn’t take the exam for conductor, but I’m going to email RTO today. 

I emailed her and she confirmed that it is in did for train operator. I am sure it was written in here a million times. But do I have to wear business attire for tomorrow? It’s the 1st step. The drug/alcohol part.

Yes, you and @MNB0205 should contact Transit and make sure you two are fine. You don't want to take any chances and waste a day coming in for nothing.

Also to clarify for everyone, the train operator position requires a driver license.

They will want you to have it all paid off. When I was getting hired, they made people go down a couple blocks to the Brooklyn Business Center to pay them off and bring back the receipt.

 

Who do I contact? What’s the information?

Just got the email to come in for pre-employment on Monday! I know that the information is buried somewhere in this thread, but what should I expect?

Did your email say MTA New York City Transit is considering you for a position as a Conductor and invites you to our facility at MTA 180 Livingston street (between Smith and Hoyt Streets), 5th floor??? I’m confused because the subject says Train Operator and in the email it said conductor lol. Was wondering if your email said the same. 

Did anyone else get an email tonight to come in next week @ 6:30am? List # 2xxx

Does anyone know when the certification list will update?

Nope I haven’t heard anything yet. I am so thankful for this forum because I probably would’ve been going crazy. Lol
