But I’m losing my hopes and esteem with every second passing by. I’m suppose to get an interview with metro north soon for a cleaners and have a feeling they’re going to disappoint me as well.

mnoer48 Posted November 11, 2022 Share #2207 Posted November 11, 2022 Hi everyone passed cognitive test yesterday and during the exploratory interview I asked if you choose to continue with my application and I'm accepted to take S&D test when will I be notified. The guy giving me interview said we won't be choosing we have chose to continue to expect a packet emailed within a week. Guess I did really well on cognitive test cause they didn't give me any scores. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanTheTransitMan Posted November 11, 2022 Share #2208 Posted November 11, 2022 I got one question: They asked me to go in on November 17th, on the form on the MTA's website it says you don't need a drivers license (I don't have one) but on the form they sent me it says that a drivers is needed. Do I need a drivers license to become a LIRR train operator? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect more discouragements to come along the way in this thread. I predict next week if I have my cleaners interview with metro north, I will get denied. f**k all of this stupid game system MTA plays just to screw your life and career like that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I need a drivers license to become a LIRR train operator? Maybe you don't really need one per se but I think any form of government-issued ID will do. As for when you get on the job, I wonder how you'll get from home to yards located within NYC limits and throughout Long Island with the amount of time they give you. EDIT: I think they said you don't actually need to own a car but a driver's license is kinda required for the job. Since you're operating heavy machinery, they expect you to at least be able to operate a much smaller automobile. I think your driver license may be tied to your federal certification?

Federal statute doesn’t require a license but if you do have one, you are required to provide that information for compliance as a LIRR locomotive engineer is federally certified.

I oversold myself during the interview and I still didn’t get picked. They did reach back to me after I tried getting in touch with them several times and said I didn’t score high enough. I don’t know the name of the person who interviewed me, but I find the whole mta hiring process to just be very awkward sometimes, especially since the interviewer also claimed I wasn’t a fit. I listed every single thing I could think of for conductor and engineer though. They should at least let us have a chance to take the SD exam since not everyone they picked will pass it.

They made their choice and they informed you. You can’t change their mind at this point. It’s better not to dwell on it, you’ll make a much better impression at that MNR cleaner interview if you leave your disappointment behind. Anyway, you’re confusing people in this thread because you were up for conductor not engineer. It’s not helping anyone in this thread. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misslo Posted November 13, 2022 Share #2225 Posted November 13, 2022 Oh Welp. Look at me practising self preservation. Is this the way the MNR/LIRR keep certain demographics out or keep it at minimum. 🤔🤔 plus the history of licensure in the US. hmm ok, I guess. Companies acting like they always gonna have a swath of people to play the ass with. 😗 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
