B/O 4600 Hiring Process


Message added by +Young+

BUS OPERATOR #4600

List Status Update: 1/16/22 The list for this specific exam has been extended to January 6th, 2024.

Training: See the DOB New Hire FAQ topic for more information.

Next Scheduled Class: You will be scheduled with candidates of more recent Bus Operator exams (which are pinned), so check those threads for more information.

For those of you who wish to restore your name to the list, you must do so by sending an e-mail to certificationunit@dcas.nyc.gov. In your e-mail, state your full name, exam number, list number, the last four of your social security number, and a brief reason why you're restoring your name to the list. You don't have to go into full detail in the e-mail.

For those who will be reporting to Livingston Street in the future, click here for the pre-employment packet and click here or for extra pages of the CPD-B booklet (if you need them) for final processing.

Next, for those of you who are still waiting, you folks might want to check out this and this YouTube video. In addition, if you need help getting your Class B CLP (Commercial Learner's Permit), I would encourage you to check out cristcdl.com which is free!! Remember, the multiple-choice tests you need to take and pass, at minimum, are General Knowledge, Air Brakes and Passenger Endorsement.

Finally, if you need to make an appointment at the DMV to take the multiple-choice examinations for your Commercial Learner's Permit, click here.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. We're here to help each other.

Good luck!

Well as far as I know if something is sealed you don't have to disclose it unless your applying for some type of law enforcement. Now what I would do is mention it on the comment page just in case and bring disposition with me.

No other than law enforcement can see it from my understanding.

Anyone has any idea of a place to buy the clothes for orientation .. somewere theyhave everythin and at a good price?

 

You just need to shop around (Macy's, Kohl's, etc.) The clothes that you need are not anything "special" in which they're extremely hard to find.

You want to be comfortable during the process, my suggestions are as follows:

 

- Make sure there is ample room around your neck.

- Make sure the sleeves on the long sleeve shirts are long enough; extend your arms.

- Wash garments prior to wearing.

 

Keep in mind that this is your uniform not just for Day 0, or orientation but throughout the whole training process (Days 0 - 10) and beyond. 

 

Once qualified, measurements will be taken for the standard uniform on "Union Day". But be aware that their vendor is taking their time in issuing uniforms. Many probationary-bus operators from the 10/31/16 and 11/14/16 TA classes have yet to receive their uniforms including myself.
