B/O 4600 Hiring Process

[+Young+]

I just want to reinstate after I complete my CDL. I'll be more prepared by then. I would hand deliver the form to DCAS and they confirm it on the spot.

 

First, not a bad decision to make.

Second, I don't believe DCAS accepts those requests in person. It has to be through the mail. However, to speed up the process, you can always go to the post office in Lower Manhattan and drop it off there...

Its been a while since I last reinstated myself on a list (2010) so it might have changed but good idea about the post office in lower Manhattan.

So just to be clear because I am a little slow, you don't have to notify them that you won't be attending the scheduled interview prior to the interview date?

 

You don't have to call to say that you need a little more time or give them and explanation of some sort perhaps? Nothing at all?

 

Are you guys sure about that, I'm abit skeptical because I don't want to simply disregard and then be told that I missed the opportunity of a lifetime.

 

I too, want to reinstate after I complete my CDL (want to be able to take classes prior so that I am familiar rather than wait til 10 day training to focus on getting it all done.

 

Also, this isn't a guaranteed thing yet, I definitely won't get any time off from my current job to attend the interview far less the 10 day training either, maybe in a month or so maybe. Rather not risk my little job i got now, trying to get a job

I just went tru DMV road test and honestly that's a piece of cake compared to 10 day trng. Currently on day 2 line training.

Other people have done it with no problems. Your allowed to be reinstated 3 times. Many people in other civil service titles for the mta have delayed their process for a number of reasons. I would just say if you are planning on doing the same I would just stay on top of everything but, they can just ignore you once you reinstate. Edited October 14, 2016 by tdevon2012

No problem...

I know someone who has done it for a different agency (NYC DOT to be specific), and that person also had no problems, as stated in the previous post.

It took a couple weeks, the problem was they sent winter uniform in summer and vice versa and little by little. hopefully you have better luck but I heard this uniform company sucks and I see why.

3 years, but as long as you disclose it, it shouldn't be a problem. They run your abstract for last 3 years, but they ask for any summons or suspensions going back to the day you got your license. Just be honest, they only really stress if you have any current summons that could end up on a conviction(points or suspension of your license while training). Make sure you bring a full abstract with you on day 1 at zerega, cause they ask for specific years.

 

Advice: get your abstract and see if it shows up. I had an accident a little over 3 years and it never came up on abstract even thought a police report and insurance claim was made.

I'm in a similar situation.  I had an accident in Sept. 2015.  Got sideswiped by a hit and run driver.  Police report was filed but no accidents come up on my abstract.  I'm still going to disclose it, but man will that suck if it affects my opportunity for this job.

Not all accidents show up on ur abstract. If u have an accident in neither one of the drivers was physically hurt or had to leave in an ambulance and if the damages to any vehicle did not exceed 1000 dollars then thats consider a non reportable accident so it wont ever show up on ur abstract..

I got that information from the NYS CERTIFIED DOCUMENT CENTER they handle accidents there number is (518) 474-5630 if u want u can give them a call and thell tell u if that acident will show or not .. but if it just happened in september is a little too soon for it to show in case it is goin to show.. just give them a call it doesnt hurt to get more info on that case so u know what to expect... that way if u dont need to disclose it to mta then u dont so it wont make things a bit harder on ur end .. good luck

If you need to fill out the DCAS Comprehensive Personnel Document 21 page booklet, don't wait until the last minute! It is taking me a very long time to get everything together and write it out neatly.

To make it easier, I scanned the package and then printed it front and back. Filled it out so if I made mistake I could correct it and it wasn't a bid deal. Once everything was filled out, I wrote it in on the actual booklet. Yes it's double work writting it twice, but better that then having sloppy paperwork.

Or I also had the frixion erasable pens to make corrections.

great idea. I remember when I had to fill out one for the city job I have now. At least I won't have to fill it out when I get called. MTA could just pull my current one from DCAS.

Day 1 starts on a Tuesday. And you get both Saturday and Sunday off unless otherwise.

does any one know how many chances u get to pass DMV road test what if you pass the 10 training and fail DMV can you go and try again on your own time.

If you qualify on Day 7 or 9, you will have two chances at the road test. If you qualify on Day 10, you only have one chance. If you fail the road test, then that's it for you.
