Alberto Posted June 27, 2019 Share #1501 Posted June 27, 2019 Iwetoddit, Next class meaning open house or phase 1? Yea, it’s going to take some time. Marino did say at my open house, it could be a whole year process, but she thinks it’ll be less. Either way when you’re finally in it’ll be so worth it. Thanks! How was the panel btw? I did some research on panel interviews just to get an idea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwetoddit Posted June 27, 2019 Share #1502 Posted June 27, 2019 Next phase 1 class. Its standard questions about the job. And they give some scenarios that could happen. I had three of them and they were very nice, I was comfortable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lirrdream Posted June 27, 2019 Share #1503 Posted June 27, 2019 @Iwetoddit good stuff brother, one of the hardest parts of this whole process is waiting patiently lol. I was told the same thing about the next phase one class beginning sometime in the end of August to somewhere in September. Hopefully I will see you in phase one soon. By the way keep reviewing all definitions, signals and indications as if they are going to call you tomorrow, the worst thing that can happen is to forget all that information we worked so hard to learn....keep me posted and I'll do the same..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alberto Posted June 27, 2019 Share #1505 Posted June 27, 2019 @Iwetodditok cool. Once you pass phase 1 it’s down the homestretch. Yea, interviews I’m pretty comfortable with. It’s even better when the interviewer is nice. It’s the waiting I have a hard time dealing with. Thanks man! Good luck 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know if everyone who passed the open house test and was interviewed will be invited to the S&D overview or do they use a selection process from that pool of candidates. Also, I was curious , did you or anyone you know write a thank you or follow up email to the person you interviewed with? I am just trying to figure out how to be successful and make it through the process I’m waiting a call back too. Keep me posted on your status please, I will do the same. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capoli Posted July 9, 2019 Share #1508 Posted July 9, 2019 What’s up guys been reading through the forum and trying to prepare for my upcoming S&D test on the 27th. I’m sharp and ready but just curious for the signal part of the test do you have to include the indication of every signal for each answer? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance All you have to know for the signals portion is the name (aspect) of the signals. The indications are on a separate part of the test where they give you the name of the signal and you will have to know what the indication is. Good luck and study very hard.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iwetoddit Posted July 18, 2019 Share #1515 Posted July 18, 2019 Afternoon, Those that work at LIRR, does this proposed restructuring plan affect the hiring of engineers? I know it has been said that the department is short, but I figured I ask to possibly remove doubt. Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely has a lot to do with East Side Access. There were S&D exams for Assistant Conductors and Block Operators recently. And a new Section was created for Train Dispatchers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MistaFISH Posted July 29, 2019 Share #1524 Posted July 29, 2019 I finally just qualified as a Locomotive Engineer...The feeling of finally being done is AMAZING. @drenyce311, how are you man??!!! It's been a while! Hope to run into you soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lirrdream Posted July 29, 2019 Share #1525 Posted July 29, 2019 @MistaFISH congrats. I can't imagine how you must feel, finally getting that "green card". Who knows, you very well may be a mentor of mine later down the road hopefully once I get to that piont. Was phase 2's on the job training more to your liking over strictly classroom training? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
