You don’t need to help me decide what I should do for a living or career. Mind your own business and focus on yourself getting in instead. Let me pick a job I want, a choice that will make me happy. I don’t wanna operate a train. Dude why in the world are you so hostile, you have actual LIRR Engine service employees giving you great practical advice and wisdom, simply informing you of things. Learn how to take constructive criticism, and someone just correcting you so you don't make the same mistake again. That attitude's not going to get you far especially on the LIRR I'd be damned if you were ever my Brakeman dude. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyStrikes Posted February 17 Share #2627 Posted February 17 Hey guys, they seem to be moving pretty fast this time around. I went to the open house on 2/8 and I got an email today for an invite to the S&D overview 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also depends how well you scored, if you just barely passed, you got slotted for maybe the class after or they send you an email or letter saying they’re going forward with other candidates. Chances are you did very well. Congrats! The harder parts are still ahead. Edited February 17 by danielhg121 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I’m up for the challenge you don’t get to many opportunities like this so I will take advantage of this 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That attitude's not going to get you far especially on the LIRR I'd be damned if you were ever my Brakeman dude. You misunderstood the post. That was from last week, and second I wanted to go for conductor, not locomotive. I confused the difference between driving a train and operating a train and some guy corrected me on that. But he kept saying I should go for locomotive. My resume is filled with customer service, I don’t have any kinds of driving experience on me. That wasn’t the point or the intended conversation. Prior to that, I was just saying the HR people in LIRR is pretty unprofessional because they’ve called me and said they were gonna send me a packet for conductor 2 weeks ago right away and nothing has happened since then. I’ve paid expenses to take Uber and the train together to multiple places within the MTA, and nobody could assist me in any way. They’ve been tossing me around here and there.

dremoney9972 Posted March 1 Share #2634 Posted March 1 Anyone who went to the open house yesterday think we'll get called for next Saturday? Lady said she's recommending me to move on and with the time line it looks like quite the time crunch for an agency that usually moves at a snails pace... Looking forward to hearing others' experiences... Hopefully the call comes quickly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I passed the cognitive, but I need to come in again for the math portion, and they told me to wait also for another email. I told them I wasn’t interested in the locomotive engineer position and preferred conductor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know for a fact 80 people are supposed to be in the next SnD overview so perhaps, if not you're in line for the next one it's slow and steady pace with the LIRR 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I managed to read through the entirety of this multi-year thread over the past two weeks and your journey and comments have filled me with the confidence to go for this job. It's pretty cool to interact with you and to see Ur still around after all these years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But nothing like that was said to me. Is it possible to blow it in that interview? Or maybe your interviewer was more open than mine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as you gave a response that wasn’t a straight no or you weren’t willing to learn, I think everyone passes it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last couple of interview I had they said they were recommending me to move forward. Yet I haven't heard anything past the initial invite to the open house. So who knows. Backlog, waiting list... Anyone's guess. We'll see what happens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ride Posted March 4 Share #2647 Posted March 4 (edited) If you guys can post the next open house exam for engineers, I’d appreciate it. I have to do double the work just to check up in person when their next conductor open house is. I need to go back when they have it just to take the math portion now.

Maybe they’ll listen to you more instead. I wasn’t wrong when I said the railroad HR people is messed up sometimes.

drenyce311 Posted March 5 Share #2649 Posted March 5 Who knows how they select people. I know a conductor who never applied to conductor. He applied for MTA Bus and they said he was a better fit for conductor because of customer service background. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HR doesn’t like when people keep calling to find out about thier scores or invitations. Just a heads up. But maybe being persistent will help your process.
