Princelex Posted August 27, 2011 Share #676 Posted August 27, 2011 I haven't been on the site much in the last couple of months and the reason for that is I have just become an Conductor for the NYC Subway! They called me in May, passed all of my medical stuff and I started training on June 27th. I passed all of my exams and for the last week and a half, I've been on the road solo. So far I've really enjoyed the job. The crews I've worked with have been really good to me and very helpful. The passengers are crazy but you have to be confident, calm and alert doing this job. To all of the people here who are just starting up with training, congratulations! My advice to you is to be on time, ask questions, if you need tutoring, TAKE IT! One of my classmates didn't pass the midterm and if she spent more time trying to learn the stuff she had issues with where the subway cars and her procedures were concerned, she would be a conductor with me and I wish that she was. Keep on studying. Even after being done with school, I find that I still need to go over stuff I learned cause I want to be on top of my game. I have faith that all of you who got your letters will make it! I am rooting for you! :tup::tup::cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princelex Posted August 27, 2011 Share #679 Posted August 27, 2011 Congrats Thank you Either the classes are pretty tough or that person didn't bring their A game with them. The classes were challenging but it's not too tough. The key is to keep on studying to make sure you really got it down. Sadly she didn't have her A game from the start and personally I don't think she did enough to pass but she was a promotional so she was able to go back to her title.

The teachers were very helpful with me and I'm sure they will be the same for you too. As long as you don't have a "know-it-all" attitude, you will get all the help you need without any issue.

mr.harlem Posted August 27, 2011 Share #683 Posted August 27, 2011 can u tell me what # u was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xentor Posted August 28, 2011 Share #684 Posted August 28, 2011 Mr Harlem the last number of people appointed is in the 170's. They are already in processing. About 640 people have been placed on outstanding certification. They have either received their pre-employment letters or its at least in the mail or in the works. Call 2126691357 DCAS hotline to keep somewhat updated, or go back a few pages on this thread. Personally, asking anything at all pertaining list #'s is pretty much irrelevant at this point when people will be posting theirs and the DCAS hotline is pretty up to date.

brownsville 207 Posted August 29, 2011 Share #686 Posted August 29, 2011 I have orientation tomorrow at 8am. Does anybody know if they're still having it or will it be postponed? I tried to call MTA on Friday and I couldn't get through to anyone in any departments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nycmike718 Posted August 29, 2011 Share #690 Posted August 29, 2011 This might be a dumb question. But typically when waiting for the call for medical/final processing, do they have a time of day they typically call? And is it a person or automated? I'm just like super anxious to get a call. I was in on Thursday for my first visit to HR. Thanks:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ensoled Posted August 29, 2011 Share #691 Posted August 29, 2011 You will probably get a call when they get the results of your drug test, then a H.R rep will call you and tell you when to report back for medical/processing. But don't get to excited and forget to have all your I.D or fill out that booklet they gave you completely, thats the most important thing to have especially when they go over your employment history, and any violations (even traffic) that you may have accumulated over the years.

nycmike718 Posted August 29, 2011 Share #692 Posted August 29, 2011 How far back should I go in my traffic violations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan05979 Posted August 29, 2011 Share #693 Posted August 29, 2011 If your going for conductor you do not have to put down any traffic violations. They want to know if you were ever convicted even if you didn't serve time, any pending violations against you. Do you have a felony and so forth.

nycmike718 Posted August 30, 2011 Share #694 Posted August 30, 2011 Only thing I ever had was a seat belt violation about 6 years ago. Which led to a suspension for failure to pay ticket on time. So it was suspended for a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
