omaldj Posted September 9, 2016 Share #526 Posted September 9, 2016 Seems like they're really backed up. I had my panel in April and I'm waiting. I've got to be honest this is a new system on how they're hiring Engineers and I don't like it. Before it was the same people you seen in the open house was going to be your classmates from Phase and beyond. Now they introduce this pool nonsense which now has people waiting and not knowing if you should continue studying or not. Like being taken hostage. I actually just got the call That i passed the S&D test and have an interview in 2 weeks. Sucks that I gonna end up in limbo as a member of the pool of candidates. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeroPort Posted September 15, 2016 Share #528 Posted September 15, 2016 Has anyone heard back from HR regarding Phase 1? Im pretty sure the next class begins in the fall, if thats the case candidates should be getting a call pretty soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggburns Posted September 16, 2016 Share #529 Posted September 16, 2016 Last I contacted hr they said I'm in the candidate pool. Interview was end of April so just about 5 months in limbo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
push82 Posted September 16, 2016 Share #530 Posted September 16, 2016 My interview was April 6th, called a few weeks ago and heard the same thing as Biggburns. I believe there is a class in October so hopefully we all hear back soon. They will need to give us notice to get the first physical done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omaldj Posted September 17, 2016 Share #531 Posted September 17, 2016 I have my interview on the 22nd, I'll see if I can get any info on the next phase 1 but I doubt I'll get anything concrete. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
push82 Posted September 19, 2016 Share #532 Posted September 19, 2016 Fellas/ladies, does anyone know if our appication can expire and disqualify us while we are waiting in the pool? I had heard the application is only good for 1 year and wasnt sure if we remain in the pool once that year is up. Good luck to you omaldj! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diezel Posted September 19, 2016 Share #534 Posted September 19, 2016 Does the MTA prefer to hire if you know someone or do they prefer it if you don't have any connections? Just curious because I have a different interview for an IT spot and I had to fill out a family disclosure form.... Thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a family member you have to sign a disclosure form. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
push82 Posted September 19, 2016 Share #536 Posted September 19, 2016 Yes it expires.. So everyone in the pool who has passed the s&d, completed the background and panel is disqualified as they pass the one year mark on their initial app? It seems that wouldnt make any sense as the LIRR would be losing the candidates that they would need to fill the classes with.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that wouldnt make any sense as the LIRR would be losing the candidates that they would need to fill the classes with.. That's the reason they had so many classes back to back. It was never liked that before. They maybe hire Engineers once a twice a year. Now they had a open house every month. Some people on this forum received that infamous letter in the mail. It sucks because of the effort and time , but that's how they run things around here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drenyce311 Posted September 24, 2016 Share #538 Posted September 24, 2016 i would suggest to go through the information at least twice a week until you here from them. Keep studying. Its one of those "If you dont hear from us, its probably still good news!" When I was going through the signals and definitions overview, they mentioned those who scored 100% will get called first to be the class, then the those who scored 85% or higher on the definitions portion will be placed in the next class. 100% on signals. They don't tell your score, just that you passed. Even since the Business Service took over the hiring process, its different than it was before i hear. they told us from my signals and definition overview that 9 passed out of 19. and the next class only 3 passed to complete my class for phase 1. How they select the candidates on the interview, I have no idea. my group is a mixture of different test dates. Best of luck to all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omaldj Posted September 26, 2016 Share #541 Posted September 26, 2016 Had my interview last week and they told me that I am now in the pool of candidates and as of now that they dont have any plans for a phase 1 class to begin this year, possibly January or February. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats on passing, I was told only 4 from our group passed.

yleeone Posted September 28, 2016 Share #545 Posted September 28, 2016 Thanks! Same to you and the other two! I didn't know the number of pass/fail but I do know that the confidence level of people I spoke with after the test was very low. I know they just had an orientation the same week as our interviews. Let's hope enough people pass the next test to fill a class. Studying the same material for four more months is very draining. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ndj22 Posted September 28, 2016 Share #546 Posted September 28, 2016 Anyone from the June 6th 2016 open house hear anything back. I did my backround info with strearling and have yet to hear anything further. Can't get Lucille to answer a voicemail, return a call or email. Let alone pick up her phone ! Got in touch with Michelle and she just says you have to contact Lucille. Help very frustrating 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeroPort Posted September 29, 2016 Share #547 Posted September 29, 2016 How's everyone doing. Got a call today from HR regarding Phase 1, it begins next week. When I went in for my panel interview in April they never mentioned a summer class only the fall one, so I would assume the January or February is the one you guys will most likely be called up for if they never mentioned the fall class. I'm pretty sure this is the final class of the year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggburns Posted October 5, 2016 Share #549 Posted October 5, 2016 Curious to know for anyone that has been in candidate pool. How long was the wait before called for phase 1. I ask because I've been in the pool for 6 months now and unfortunately haven't been called to attend the classes. I heard after 1 year i would have to start from scratch again that is if they have another opening. I'm getting discouraged 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drenyce311 Posted October 5, 2016 Share #550 Posted October 5, 2016 I would say be patient. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
