B/O 4600 Hiring Process

[BJH3866]

I actually emailed her asking for a status, and got the letter almost immediately.  It's like they crossed in cyberspace.

Oto is overtime offset you can either get paid for overtime or bank it for a day off

Thanks, hope it goes smooth...anybody out there can tell what final processing is like?

 

First, the interviewer will go over your 21-page packet and compare it with the forms that you had to initially fill out before you took your first drug test. If there are any discrepancies, they will grill you (trust me). After that, they will go over the remainder of the forms you were asked to fill out @ Livingston Street, including the tax forms. Once that's done, they will enter you into PeopleSoft, for payroll purposes, talk to you for a little, encourage you to take vacation or leave of absence from your current job, give you a date to report to Zerega, if not on 12/26/16 (argument sake), they can give you a report date of two weeks later, you'll be sent for your fingerprints, photo ID picture (the MetroCard pass you'll receive @ Zerega) and that's basically it.

On a side note I strongly advise anyone who is close to getting called to get their cdl before hand. Most people wind up passing the DMV road test after the mta training but there are some that don't and sometimes they make u requalify for mta if u fail the DMV road test. That is not stress you want to deal with. Getting thru the mta training is very stressful, don't add more to it, get your cdl before hand. If you can't afford it ask a family memeber or close friend to burrow their credit card and just pay them back every month and then take them to a nice dinner for helping you out. Trust me get the cdl before hand.

There was a girl on my training bus, she qualified for the mta day 7, the earliest day possible.... she wound up failing both of her DMV road tests and was forced to resign from the mta. Trust me get the cdl ahead of time, I can not stress this enough.

I'm in that situation now. I was called in so quick for Buses, I had to get my permit. I wished I had my CDL license before starting. I passed on day 9 and took my dmv roadtest last Friday and failed with 70 points. Just got caught up with everyone worried about passing and the expectations of what was to come in the roadtest. I felt like I didn't know how to drive. Once one person failed in the beginning it all went down hill from there. When I left 4 failed 3 passed on Friday

 

NOW i have to do day 10 today and pass and then get another chance for dmv. This is crazy. I've made it this far and put to much into this. I want this job. I've seen people who quit long careers with their old employers and have nothing to go back to after being forced to resign from MTA ,either by not qualifying or not passing the roadtest

Stay positive. You did qualify for MTA and you should be able to pass the road test. Take couple of deep breaths if you're nervous. You'll succeed. I appreciated your postings from the very beginning and wish you all the very best.

[isaelperez81]

Thanks for the positive feed, and just pass my day 10 qualification just now. Roadtest for friday.

 

I need to have a layout of what I did wrong from the first time around. Something about not yielding in highway.

Got into Livingston early today 7:00 for Final Processing; the gent up front gave me my ticket and told me to go straight to window #3. She said I was early, then gave me a ton of forms to fill out. I thought this was going to be Day 1 work at Zerega, benefits, direct deposit, beneficiaries, etc. Anyway, 8:40 now, waiting for call.

180 livingston is medical and HR paperwork. Zerega is training location and yes you fill out paperwork both locations. After qualification you're sent to TWC 100 for other paperwork. All of which your paid.

Yesterday was a great day learning from Supt Soto. Feeling very confident for my upcoming roadtest Fri. Everyday behind the wheel I get more comfortable.

Oh wow, you had Soto?.......lol how was he? He's one of the Supt that acts real tough and tries to intimidate the students.

Ok, didn't know that.

I have nothing but respect for Supt. SOTO. His teaching and techniques are great. I learned with him, and his personality might come off harsh, but means well. It's all how well of a sponge you are. You want to learn from your mistakes and he'll make sure to tell you what to do.

 

From what I've experienced with all the superintendents, each one has their own teaching methods. Take all the info and make it work for you. I've see what I've done wrong and I'm working on it. I'm just grateful for having 2 chances to take the dmv roadtest.

 

There is no MTA way VS DMV way. Just do as MTA trained you and follow the rules of the road, follow the examiner and everything will be ok. I've got a bad habit of over analyzing things and putting crap in my head. These few days behind the wheel has really opened my eyes.

 

MTA has very strict requirements for operating a 22 ton 40 foot vehicle. 10 days training and qualified 2 times. All hours paid training. How much more can they give you. SUP work with you and the only one you can blame is yourself.

 

Everyone who comes in from day one at livingston is given equal opportunity. Albeit it all stems from being qualified.

 

Good luck to those 11/14 class and future classes to come.

Do you get your 1st paycheck right after training or does it take a few weeks?

[SevenEleven]

They are available the Thursday after Day 10. If you don't get them at Zerega on G.I. Day, then they will send them to your assigned depot/pay location.

[Invzo1019]

Yes u get paid for training even if you don't qualify
