Everybody who passed the S&D and had their panel just have to be a little patient. They are going to need a good number of Engineers . Just becuase they have alot of classes doesn't mean everyone in those classes are making pass phase 2. The RR know this so instead of having a few they are trying to build up to qouta before the ESA opens. As long as you didn't receive no letter. Be patient and good luck.

Good to hear Dre . Keep studying and stay drawing those PC's.

If they started a whole lottery pool system , I call bs and its not fair to people who put their life on the side to study for 5 weeks. This is new if this is the case. To continue hiring just so you can fill a candidate pool is going to hurt them in the long run. The word will get out and people would not want to apply.I hope this is not the case but if it is , its not a good look. Good luck to everyone..

They usually call for first.
-
Good luck.
-
They are hiring SAM's now.

Truckie can give you all the insight you need.. -
Basically you will be interviewed by an hr rep and a gangforeman. Its really straight forward. Probation can be tough since you won't own a job for a while and they can stick you any where they want . Also you will see garbage and all sorts of mess you have never seen before. Its a shock at first and the work is not easy , but you will get use to it. Probation is a year. When it comes to background check , they check everything and I mean everything. Don't lie or leave nothing out.

Thats for internal employees . Internal employees who pass phase 1 will leave their current craft and will become Engineer trainees.

Lol yeah we call it our Bodega..

Hey Dre was that your class in LIC yard yesterday?
-
No , cognitive test is good for a year. But you can't go for two crafts at the same time while your still in the process for YM.

Rt Mason there's nothing wrong with Engineer and I wish you good luck. But all I'm just bringing out is the only thing people see from the outside is Conductors and Engineers. But there is so much going on not in the public eye to keep this RR moving. Crafts people never knew that exists. That's why I always advice people who want a career in the RR to start from the bottom and research what direction you want to go. Alot of people here started like that.You'll be surprised the amount of craft changes because some people started one route but didn't like it. Anyway good luck and I hope you the best.

Car repairmen and Car inspectors are just about the same. Road car inspectors are also car repairmen. These two I would say are the best crafts in the RR followed by Machinists as far as money goes , overtime and better quality of life.You know how many Engineers I know say if they could do it over again they would of went for the car repairmen program? All of these crafts can lead to Mof E gang forman where the money is even better.

Apply for Cam or Oiler now and start from the bottom. Its best to start out that way in RR because most of the time your mind changes when you see other crafts there that may catch your interest. The RR has many departments that pay good or even better than Engineer . Get your foot in the door and thats when you get a clearer idea what you want to do.
-
Good luck and study . Have fun in the simulator building as well. Its interesting.
-
Everything . They check everything. You also will be climbing up and down a platform same as a you would a train.
-
Believe me you say that now, but if you make it to the beginning lets say of phase two and your working crazy schedules with a qualified Engineer at the same time your brain is splitting from drawing PC's 10-20 times a day of the RR and with the book of rules by verbatim you will be thinking a different tune. Thats union 101 , never sell out the unborn it causes division. Thats whats going on in the carmen union right now.
-
Either way it sucks. Thats a lot of work both studying and working . Once your qualified you should be awarded top pay.
-
Correct, 5 years till top pay.
-
I did not know the BLE gave in to progression rate for the Engineers in the new contract. That stinks.
-
HR tells you nothing. I have a clean attendance and never been written up for nothing . So I'm just left waiting and my classmates are confused also.
-
Your talking about the RR here. They are known for wasting peoples time and screwing people. Example A right here and I know a good amount more.
