Elaborate as much as you can on your safety sensitive duties. Try to quantify your cash handling or reporting experience as well, include monetary or metric figures to any part of your job you did on a daily basis as well as any accomplishments. Mention any significant customer service experiences you've had, good ones, bad ones and instances where you have had to adapt. Your reactions, the actions and results of those actions. These questions are not gonna seem relevant to the position but you will be near main line track and in yards as a cleaner and your ability to work with others is critical. You will be customer facing as well. know the basics of metro north, the 5 main lines, major stations are a bonus, Equipment types, use the wikipedia page. Honestly do wish you and everyone else gets hired, just reacted in bad taste to your posts concerning the tests. Im old school I guess.

I get it, but like I stated with Lawrence, its 20-30 people who just did interviews or 50-60 who got an s&d overview invitation or 100-300 who got a job orientation invitation ALL sending them emails with questions. Look at it from their pov, they cannot answer every email when 90 percent of the time the answer is in the invitation email they sent. People have a tendency to ask questions about things that are not relevant at that junction in the process. Now they have to siphon thru hundreds of irrelevant emails and people questions get lost in the sauce. In the end their focus goes to the candidates who got picked for interviews. And sometimes being chosen depends on who interviews you, for which I can agree is unfair but life is unfair. Just keep trying.

who said im a conductor, I went thru the hiring process.... not arguing just stating facts. I am helping you, you just want to be coddled instead of looking at your predicament from a rational pair of eyes. hundred of candidates, averaged scores based on exams and interviews, you were not competitive enough. work on your next attempt instead of complaining online about the HR process.

check your inbox from a few months ago....Your one to talk about supportive...Your shitting on the hiring practices, yet want a job. Make it make sense.....

YOU SENT ME A PM ASKING A QUESTION WHICH I OPENED WHEN I LOGGED IN ONLY TO SEE YOUR PROFILE FILLED WITH POSTS ASKING THE SAME QUESTION..you can't get over the fact that you took the cognitive and passed and didn't get an s&d invite.... move on! You're not gonna change a system thats been the same hiring practice for years!!

If you had an interview already and are possibly in consideration for employment, any emails you send to HR right now are gonna take a backseat. They are probably trying to get you and multiple other candidates set up for class. Theres various things they have to do after they find enough candidates to start a class. Patience is key. You have an edge coming from NJT, training is gonna be a breeze for you. Training is a mix of OJT and lots of class time. I will PM you some details about your questions.

Where are you getting this information from? Of course you get sick time lol and you get vacation depending on when you start. Training is not 2 years, you may wait 2 years to promote to conductor but that may change depending on demands of the company.

You keep posting on this forum about your so called bad experiences with MNR, one minute you had an interview and didn't get picked and now you still haven't been called.. which is it? If you didn't get picked, don't come on here bashing the company yet still have a desire to work there. It's a public forum where they can see what you post. They have the right to interview you and not pick you, prob found someone who's more qualified or maybe just a better fit and I don't blame them based off your multiple disgruntled post history. Jesus Christ.

Anyone currently in pre-employment stage with MNRR for A/C and waiting on a start date for training?.... I was told there is an August class, end of month...

That being said. Don’t get discouraged. A year will fly by in no time. Keep trying and also don’t hesitate to try and get in via other positions. I think like a user mentioned above, safety is key but also on how to deal with people. Customer service is a big part of the operation. Another piece of advice is to make sure you know as much about the railroad as possible. The names of the lines, some major stations. Some history. And memorize the job description. I can’t stress that enough. They want you to know what your daily responsibilities are…

Respectfully brotha, passing the interview is nowhere near the last step. If you pass you still have to be medically and physically cleared. Your in pre employment. You have to have your primary physician clear you to even take the physical agility test. Then the railroad doctors check you out. It’s like an analysis. Then there’s a drug test and once you clear another round of background screening for past drug tests from old jobs, then you start training. and even then your still a conditional employee that has to qualify as an A/C. I’m taking everything one day at time. Nothing is promised. There’s no last step IMO…until you qualify

Have my conditional new hire medical coming up soon. Been through a rough couple months dealing with family losses and have had 2 occurrences of high blood pressure during my last few doctor visits. I say it’s due to stress which led to poor eating habits…that changes now though with this opportunity. will hbp be an issue during the medical??

Went well, passed the exams (vocabulary,cognitive, and math) just like previous users mentioned earlier in this thread…. just waiting on an email for next steps..which I believe is getting study material for signals and definitions. That’s the real hard part. it was a big class prob about 60-70 ppl…I’d estimate about half passed. Wish everyone could’ve made it but I think the cognitive exam was a little tricky..I just skipped anything I didn’t know and moved on to answer questions I could because of the time limit. If you do get called sometime in the future just brush up on multiplication and everything else is random can’t tell you what to study for really…

Nice, that should help, sounds like you know more about trains than me haha. I also applied to Amtrak and Metro North but never heard from them either. Not as much as Ive applied to LIRR tho. Im fairly close to Jamaica yard and Hillside yard and right next to subway that can take me to Penn station in under an hour.

Ahh ok, I'm hardly an expert on what they are looking for but I wouldn't get discouraged if they don't call. Ive applied to over 10 jobs for LIRR alone and this is the first time they have called me. It's probably random based on keywords in the resume and I'm sure thousands of people apply. Its weird because in my profile there are some applications I have that say "passed prescreening" under status and I've never gotten an email. The A/C position they emailed me for and the status hasn't even changed it still says "applied". Maybe they like persistence, I'm still gonna keep applying if I don't make it for this position.
