Red5Xwing Posted September 5, 2018 Share #1076 Posted September 5, 2018 Congrats to All who are moving along in the process:-)! I've been trying literally for about 10 years to make the orientation, but reading these posts gives me hope that I'll eventually get invited too so I'm gonna keep applying! Again, congrats and hope that you all make it to the end:-) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if I may ask, is there any backround that you've seen they prefer as far as who they invite? I've been hired by the Postal Service as a Mail Handler but that may not necessarily "wow" them... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Everyone has a different backgrounds, truck drivers, mechanics, aeronautic engineers, teachers, store owners, actors, bus drivers, retail.

I applied a lot longer than 10 years before I finally got invited to an overview. Just keep watching the MTA employment site and this forum and apply each time they post the position. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they say that they will not tell you if you failed the exam. But supposedly it could take weeks to know if you passed due to how a person grades and if they made the cut for phase one. So a person could have to wait for another 15 weeks. Hate that saying (No news is good news.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggburns Posted September 13, 2018 Share #1092 Posted September 13, 2018 I was told the same, study after my test. I also waited almost 1 year before I was accepted into phase 2 but I stayed positive and still studied 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev2112 Posted September 13, 2018 Share #1093 Posted September 13, 2018 I'm taking the test Saturday...I know the signals cold. All of them. Definitions are a different story. I'm hoping for 20 short ones on the test. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck sat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had 5 or 6 definitions left before my test I was feeling the same way it’s only 20 what are the chances I’ll get one of those. But I took the day before the test off from work hit those definitions and got them by the next day. The next day on the test I saw all 6 , I would’ve failed that test, but since I got them all down I got 100 on the signals and 100 on the indications/definitions test. So just try to study it hard you put in all this time, if you really want it go all in or nothing at all. Best of luck. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 20 definitions come from the words and the Signal indications correct? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don’t have them memorized by the time you go to bed Friday night. Don’t bother. It’s too late. Best of luck. Rooting for you guys. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
