bravo659 Posted February 8, 2012 Share #231 Posted February 8, 2012 If they call you in. You will take the personality test. Then if you past that you do your background check,physical,drug test, theeeeeen if all goes well then you start your 7 day training. an so on an so fourth. That sounds good to my ears. LOL Well random numbers will be called randomly or just is that randomly given a number then call in the order it started. Whichever way it occurred waiting is a process afterall.

I didn't understand that very well but what I did get from it is pretty accurate. Since the numbers will be picked at random, high or low doesn't account for much here.

Noflexdont Posted February 9, 2012 Share #236 Posted February 9, 2012 I was under the impression that the names pick were in random order. This made the list with number assigned with them the order in which they will call applicants. So they took everyone's names then entered them in a computer, the computer then spits them out. First name that is pulled was given #1, second name was given #2 and so on. Then the MTA will call in numerical order. I have not heard of any other system that people have been discussing. The wont call # 2007 then jump to #12456 then back to #13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bravo659 Posted February 11, 2012 Share #237 Posted February 11, 2012 U take the boss test. Its a test in which the test asks the same set of 50 questions 4 times only worded differently to see if u are a liar and gain an idea how sane u are.....after all they don't want crazyness behind the wheel wth the responsibility of passengers lives. Ok so this test is a computerized test correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locomotion69 Posted February 11, 2012 Share #238 Posted February 11, 2012 Ok so this test is a computerized test correct? The Boss is a paper and pencil test, you fill in the circles. One thing to keep in mind is that there were no layoffs at MTA Bus a couple of years ago, but they are not civil service. From what I remember they were into the 5,000's from the last MTA Bus list and this was around 2009, maybe somebody from that list can find out the status and what was the last number hired.

transit bx Posted February 14, 2012 Share #243 Posted February 14, 2012 First off congrats to all that apply, MTA BUS is operating like OA meaning that list is going to move real fast. TA in other hand move real slow when it comes time to get hired. Weather you have a low number or high number just keep in mind that your turn will come, plus MTA BUS as for right now is being run by at least 90% senior guys, so most of those guys are getting ready to leave that's one of the reasons why MTA put out that exam. There is no books for you guys to study, its a BOSS exam just like OA, so what ever u guys do give them the answer that they want to hear, also they going to ask the same question just worded different. With this new contract coming up for what I'm hearing that MTA BUS is going to get OA contract which pension and ect is going to be the same. MTA BUS is up and coming. Good luck to ever one and don't lose sleep live your life and when its your turn go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
