Will-Bx-718 Posted August 28, 2012 Share #1652 Posted August 28, 2012 I love having weekday RDO's, I hate going to dinner, shopping or the movies on the weekends and stand on long lines or wait for beepers to ring to be seated. My RDO's are Thurs/Fri and I will keep these RDO's for the rest of my time down here. If I need a Sat of I just put in an AVA and have a three or four day weekend. Plus having weekdays off I can go to Dr Appointments or take care of whatever business related matters I need to take care of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulrivera Posted August 30, 2012 Share #1653 Posted August 30, 2012 I checked DCAS's automated line and for what it's worth it says I'm on an outstanding certification again. Last certified is still "708" supposedly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladymax Posted September 16, 2012 Share #1657 Posted September 16, 2012 Has anyone heard of any classes coming out soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xentor Posted September 17, 2012 Share #1658 Posted September 17, 2012 Well they don't really just come out like babies. They are usually held, arranged or even reserved. Last I heard they will be on hold for the rest of the year, which sucks.sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulrivera Posted September 17, 2012 Share #1659 Posted September 17, 2012 From who did you hear this from? If this is true, damn it. I was planning a move out assuming a pass-or-fail (not a freeze) scenario. 708 to 968 on this list seemed like such a short hop two-three months ago...

Xentor Posted September 17, 2012 Share #1660 Posted September 17, 2012 Ha! Good one. Nothing is ever a short hop when dealing with Transit.At least that's what I gather from my time on these boards. Figure out a way to hang tight, this is a pretty good post with a system that will forever be in place, it's worth it. Plus you have a %99.99 chance of being called up for the opportunity. Now's the time to get in also before these Union contracts get even less savory .Me? I screwed up and am all the way down in the 1700's, so I'm looking at early 2014 and by then the 1-3 rule will almost certainly be in full effect wreaking havok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulrivera Posted September 17, 2012 Share #1661 Posted September 17, 2012 Don't remind me of the 1 in 3 rule... especially on a list that's all but frozen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulrivera Posted September 17, 2012 Share #1663 Posted September 17, 2012 So they went with the presumed "original" plan by just pausing for a couple of months? Intriguing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulrivera Posted September 19, 2012 Share #1666 Posted September 19, 2012 Not that it matters, but I wonder if DCAS is staying with this list until the end since it looks like they handed over the T/O list to the MTA? The MTA's end goal is to keep all the exam related functions in-house after all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frefre Posted September 20, 2012 Share #1667 Posted September 20, 2012 DCAS probably washed their hands of the whole thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xentor Posted September 20, 2012 Share #1668 Posted September 20, 2012 I wonder what is lost or gained by having Transit directly administering the exams and holding in their entirety the list placements. Probably nothing, but if that was the case then why even want to directly own the holy mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xentor Posted September 21, 2012 Share #1670 Posted September 21, 2012 Well there aren't any concrete details on that as of yet, are there rtoman? Transit will almost certainly institute a brand new set of rules including higher educational and job experience requisites for some jobs, I just wonder how similar will they be to DCAS. I think even now Transit makes up the rules and DCAS runs the rest anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

citimauler Posted September 23, 2012 Share #1672 Posted September 23, 2012 Just received my letter for medical and interview after taking my drug test back on the 27th of July! I was waiting for a phone call, but got a letter instead, still a happy camper. Any advice from the senior guys on this forum about the hearing test and interview process, any help would be appriciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulrivera Posted September 23, 2012 Share #1673 Posted September 23, 2012 A letter for medical, interesting... You're somewhere in the 700s right? As for the interview... It's not a traditional interview, you basically (among other things) hand in your papers, go over your info with the "interviewer", they tell you what the job is about, they take your picture, swear you in, and give you a start date (and more papers regarding the job) From what I've read in this very thread, the medical process will be among the most nerve wracking experiences of your life. Those quacks can make or break your progress toward the job. Best of luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaYtHaMaN Posted September 23, 2012 Share #1674 Posted September 23, 2012 I GOT MY LETTER !!!!! TELLING ME TO REPORT WEDNESDAY. I'M SO EXCITED I'M JUMPING ON A PLANE AND HEADING BACK ASAP.

Y2Julio Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share #1675 Posted September 23, 2012 Any advice from the senior guys on this forum about the hearing test and interview process, any help would be appriciated. when you go it will be an all day process. Get there early. Carry a light lunch or snacks. You'll have to go hand in all your documents and that full history packet they gave you to fill out. Once they start processing you for your medical, they'll have you get on one of the computers and fill out two surveys pertaining to your medical history. After that a nurse will call you in and take your weight and blood pressure (make sure you don't get annoyed at waiting long because it could mess you up here). Once they're done with the basic checks, they will start doing the other exams, EKG, urine test for diabetes, vision exam which will also check for color blindness and peripheral vision and finally the hearing test in the "sound isolated" booth. After they've finished all the exams (which they might or might not do all in one shot) you'll go back to the waiting room and wait for the doctor. Once the doctor calls you in, she or he will look over the exam results and the two surveys you filled out on the computer. If they need clarification they'll dig a bit deeper but you should still be good. They will then do a quick physical, check your balance and other doctor stuff. If you passed, they'll sign off on you and send you back to the main desk and hand them the doctors note. They will then bring you into the interviewers room and process your paperwork, tell you about the job, what it entails, the 24/7 demand it has, if all checks out then you get your prints taken out and get your induction sheet which has your hire date, the date you need to go for school car. Then you'll finally get your photo taken for your ID which you'll get when you report to school car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
