I got called the next day after to start the background check. Orientation was in January. After everything was cleared. I got the email in March. I heard others waited longer. Some of my classmates waited 6-7 months. Edited March 21, 2019 by drenyce311 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be prepared, because the definitions are exponentially harder to memorize. They make the signals look like child's play.

Iwetoddit Posted March 24, 2019 Share #1184 Posted March 24, 2019 Good morning! This thread has been very insightful and intriguing. I read through it in about 2 days. I applied this past November and was invited to the April 9th open house in Babylon. I’m considering of going as I don’t have anything to lose by not trying. My main concern is I have a moving violation from 2014, a DWI to be specific. It has been 4yrs 5mo to the date. Will this automatically disqualify me or do I have a chance since it’s been some time already? I’ve completed everything that has to do with that violation and have my drivers license for over a year now. I have absolutely no other incidents on my record. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diplok Posted March 25, 2019 Share #1185 Posted March 25, 2019 I am also going to the open house in Babylon on April 9th. My concern is is having a drivers license mandatory? The job posting did not indicate this but in the email inviting me to the open house it says bring your drivers license. I have my NYS ID but no license yet. Will that be a problem? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your going to need a car to get around. If not your gonna be out the house 14 hours just to come back to work. Unless if your cool with showing up 1-2 hours before report. Once you qualify your only getting 3 hours to get the terminal at odd hours of the morning. Unless you live in the Jamaica vicinity.

Going to have to be all over island eventually and getting places may be difficult. I would definitely work on getting the license but as far as the testing goes you should be good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it hard? -Steven Trejo thought it was pretty easy if you make flash cards and constantly study. The signals i felt good with think i aced em (you have to get 100%). I actually went back and changed one of my definition answers that was right and ended up getting that one wrong for sure, so stil with your gut. Think i got everything else verbatim though. Wasn't bad honestly if you know your stuff you'll run through it. I used color associations with the color lights, for example (G stands for Green, R for Red) G then R = clear R then G = medium clear R flashing G= limited clear this helped me a lot Edited April 1, 2019 by nykfan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you moving on? open house went great, just took my test saturday, felt really good about it besides 1 definitely i went back and changed that i know was wrong. Besides that im eager to hear how the test went and what the next step is/will be but i have no idea when or what that will be, once you finish the test they just say HR will be in touch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
