Armdo Posted January 15, 2015 Share #1 Posted January 15, 2015 Hi, I just saw a posting on monster.com for temp signal maintainers in Brooklyn. It says that temporary status will change to permanent after passing the civil service exam and being appointed from the resulting list and successful completion of a 18 month training course. My question is about the 18 month training. Is that a course where you have to maintain a certain grade average or you're out like I heard about the motorman position? How hard is the training? Thanks for any info on what to expect if I apply for this job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newjerseyguy Posted January 15, 2015 Share #2 Posted January 15, 2015 A quick Google and I found this: NYC Transit Signal Maintainer Exam # 5611 dates Mar 4 - 24, 2015 I would suggest you check it out on DCAS http://www.nyc.gov/html/dcas/html/work/exam_monthly.shtml#oc or the MTA website http://web.mta.info/nyct/hr/ WITHOUT ANY INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR ABILITIES OR BACKGROUND HOW CAN ANYONE ANSWER THIS FOR YOU? I would assume you do need to maintain a grade level that suggests you can do the work, why should they pay you to go to school and fail? Put some effort into it, google “signal maintainer” look for an old exam listing and find out if you even meet their requirements, it takes seconds to find this on the web http://web.mta.info/nyct/hr/pdf_exams/5709.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newjerseyguy Posted January 16, 2015 Share #3 Posted January 16, 2015 LMAO... I thought I was a little rude to you before and checked back to see if you responded maybe even apologize (today sucked) but dude you have a jackpot of information right in front of you a pinned thread on a signal maintainer exam with 58 relies. I wish I had that much feedback available!!! http://www.nyctransitforums.com/forums/topic/29075-signal-maintainer-exam-2600-how-to-prepare/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armdo Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share #4 Posted January 16, 2015 Thank You. Yes i did put some effort into this. Obviously I wouldn't apply for a job that I wasn't qualified for. No need to google an old job listing when all the requirements are on the current posting. If I had found the answer to my question with google I wouldn't be here asking it right? I did find info in regards to other positions such as Car Inspector but nothing really for Signal Maintainer. From what I have read about Car Inspectors it's mostly on the job training. No pass/fail. You're hired, don't screw up, you're in. I was wondering if Signals was the same. I wouldn't want to take job if there was a chance I could lose it because I scored a 79 instead of an 80 That's all. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
