Ruxx718 0 #3951 Posted August 15, 2015 They held you up because of a parking ticket!? When I was down there I had a parking ticket that I had just got two days prior. When my name was called to turn in my application I told the lady and she let me know that I couldn't do the drug test until that was cleared up. Luckily she told me that I can just go pay the ticket real quick in person, get the receipt, and come right back. Took me about 30 mins to walk over the place, pay it off, and get back. After I was done with the urine test and went back to the counter, another lady had told me I was done for the day and to wait for a call to get my medical. My boy told me once you get the medical, you go fill out more paperwork by the union and a few other things. I have my envelope with another application in it that was called my "homework" by the guy I initially seen. So I'm guessing I need to have that all filled out by the time I head back over there.

JHonNY81 1 #3952 Posted August 15, 2015 They held you up because of a parking ticket!? Yup. Couldn't take the drug test unless it was paid off. Couldn't pay it online either. I had to physically go to 210 Joralemon, pay it, and come back to show the receipt. Luckily my girl was home to give me the ticket number because being that it was a brand new ticket, I couldn't just use my lisence plate number since it wasn't even updated in the system yet. It all took about an extra half hour so it wasn't too bad. Hopefully I have no hold ups on Monday when I go for my medical. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I heard a lady telling someone else there a Sept class as well. Prosperousguy89 give them a call and see what they say. so awesome, right?! I technically was supposed to be sworn in on Thursday, but I had a teeny medical hold issue which was quickly resolved in less than 24 hours, so I was appointed Friday instead. As I was being sworn in, I gotta a wee-bit emotional LOL! It felt so official, and seemed so surreal how after 7 years this is finally happening. Big ups to the 8-24 class!!!!!! Yup. Couldn't take the drug test unless it was paid off. Couldn't pay it online either. I had to physically go to 210 Joralemon, pay it, and come back to show the receipt. Luckily my girl was home to give me the ticket number because being that it was a brand new ticket, I couldn't just use my lisence plate number since it wasn't even updated in the system yet.

+Young+ 579 #3958 Posted August 16, 2015 (edited) Pics where?! LOL There's nowhere to show pics on here LOL.... lol lol I take private messages. As stated in the rules of the site, which can be viewed at http://www.nyctransitforums.com/rules/, please stay on-topic. If you wish to send each other private messages about this, that's fine, but it is inappropriate for this thread, especially since it is close to 400 pages. Also, my strong advice is to be professional as well. You never know if and when you will meet these people in real life. By the way - as far as posting pictures, you have to first upload them to a Image Hosting site, such as TinyPic, which is free, then copy the URL link on this site, whether in a private message or in a thread, then you are good to go. If you are tech-savvy, and you have some time to play around with this, you should be able to figure it out.

JHonNY81 1 #3959 Posted August 16, 2015 If you don't mind me asking. What type of tickets did you have? It was a street cleaning ticket. No parking from 1130-1.The sign was so faded from the sun, I could barely make it out. I got back to my car @1230 and there was the ticket. Womp womp. $45 that I squared off right away. I was even planning on paying that ticket that same day after getting out from my initial processing. Didn't think something like that would've held me up. So just clear up anything tickets you may have before you're due to go down there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drenyce311 84 #3961 Posted August 16, 2015 (edited) I wouldn't have mentioned it. Even though It would've been paid anyway. I don't think they look for parking tickets. Just traffic violations. Edited August 16, 2015 by drenyce311 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ruxx718 0 #3962 Posted August 16, 2015 (edited) Same thing I was thinking. Just moving violations...anything against your license. I wouldn't have mentioned it.

Prosperousguy89 1 #3974 Posted August 20, 2015 Thanks, and congrats to her You welcome & I'm waiting too it's been 7 years smh...once you get the pre-employment letter does that mean you got the job just have to do background check & etc to see if your qualified ? And besides failing the drug test what do you think can stop you from getting hired ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And besides failing the drug test what do you think can stop you from getting hired ? Getting the pre-employment letter means you're being CONSIDERED for hire, which is why it reads "probable appointment" in the letter. You're hired as long as you meet the qualifications. You're officially hired the second time you go in (medical/final processing). The only thing that can stop you from being hired is a medical hold that you fail to resolve,.
