Answered my own question again. Sorry gang. Just inconvenient that many of us are having difficulty logging in

Hey guys so I just came from the OPA how soon will they give us the results? And if we failed does that mean it’s the end of the road for you? Lol I think I did ok. I was a bit nervous for the 2nd part

Its pass fail results. If you failed then yes you are disqualified from the hiring process however,if you did good on the first part I wouldn't worry to much about the second. So long as you spoke as clear as possible and weren't responding in a foreign language I don't think you will fail.

Yes if you failed, you're out. I'm sure you did fine. Took about 6 months to get results.

Happy to have this opportunity, but a bit turned off by how everything was handled in terms of notice. I was at my old job for a long time and I wa wonky able to have Friday to say goodbye and let them know it was my last day. Now they want us to have all these things. Again, glad I have the opportunity, but everything just feels so rushed. 

I feel the same way. Love my job and respect the company. Hope I can give 2 weeks notice.

Same here, I took the opa yesterday... the second part threw me off, I think I passed though. what session were u scheduled for?

That OPA was ridiculous, the wait time for the second part was bad. Management should've either had more staff on hand or had less people come in.

Yes, the drug test and medical exam are on different days. For the OPA I was out around 1PM.  Make sure ywhen they start letting y'all upstairs that you're one of the first off the elevator and on the line.

I actually have to call the HR today to schedule my 2nd drug test.

There are more than one drug test... I'm good with that anyways I'm just thinking of all the days I will have to take off work. All worth it in the end though. Thank you for that information. I will definitely try to make it through the line fast. I'm going to try to get there an hour earlier. It's a 2 hour drive from me

So when u guys got the results did the same letter tell u to come in for pre employment or was that a separate letter? 

[MTAhopefullMatt]

@Cathy, approximately what range is your list number?

 

I may need to follow up with Transit, but it can wait a few weeks, until the kids and my wife, a schoolteacher, are done.

I listed at 4,9** I emailed the exams unit on Friday and they forwarded my admission letter for the OPA this morning. Thank God!

To everyone who started today, welcome and good luck on your journey.
