Tomorrow I am reporting to 180 for 6:30AM for final processing with all the paperwork they emailed and will most likely find out if I am going in September class. I will try and see if i can get information on another class after. 
 

Hopefully tomorrow I will get a start date and start my career. I am looking forward to meeting you guys if we cross paths either in training or on the road. Im excited about this and the weeks and months ahead!

I’ll be going in on Wednesday morning at 630am. I expect we will start 9/7 since we will be working holidays as well. 
 

anyone know what’s acceptable blood pressure? And if anyone knows about the moving violations I asked about earlier? That’ll be great. Thanks

I would disclose everything and in comment section explain further by saying it was closed thats just me i would do that rather not leave out anything for them to question later

Hey man. Looking forward to hearing about the experience so I know what to expect tomorrow. Keep me posted on how it went and if there’s anything I should make sure I have together. Thanks.

So today started with them keeping you outside until 630 then they call you by name one by one to go upstairs and sign in it was a fast process in the morning because it’s pretty much just the people that are there for the pre-employment. There was about a dozen for preemployment and that includes for conductor in a few bus operators.

The medical went pretty fast took hearing test I test EKG and they make you pee in a cup to test your sugar levels for diabetes and then you see a doctor at the end of all the tests that looks over the results and tells you there if you are qualified or on hold.

After that you are told to go see the human resources desk which is what I did after I qualified and then I was told that I was only there for medical and that I would have to come back in for fingerprints an ID picture which did not make much sense to me since I was already there and qualified with my medical in the email stated that I would be doing the fingerprints and everything not just the medical today.

I am a little annoyed that I have to go back for just those two things and spend another morning there at Livingston hopefully I get an email by today or tomorrow to report sometime this week before the weekend.

they made me leave all the paperwork that was emailed to me with human resources and it was put in my file.

 

***** make sure you bring your original high school diploma not a copy I brought my original and a copy but they only want to see the original****

My brother. Thank you so much for this information. This is exactly what I needed to know. I'll be sure to have all my information together. The paperwork is a lot so I'll finish it today. I'm almost done. I'll be sure to bring my GED and one of my Bachelors degrees. All documents are always original just in case.

It may be annoying to have to keep going back but I don't mind as long as I get the job. Thankfully my current job is an office position that I am working from home so I have the flexibility to go back and forth as needed.

I'll catch up with you on Monday when we start!

UPDATE: 

so after I left Livingston today I followed up with the contact woman that sent over the paperwork the other day via email. I explained to her that even though the email told me that I was doing fingerprints as well today that after my medical was qualified and cleared that that they sent me home for now. I actually got a callback from her and she asked me again what happened and she called up 180 Livingston and called me back and said that possibly because there were other candidates with lower list number that were on a possible hold for medical and they cleared them today so it could be that the class as of right now is filled. She also told me keep an eye on my email as that may change because people like to decline last minute before the class so fingers crossed maybe we could get squeezed in.

Same shit that happened to me except I was told not to come in for the train operator medical the day before. Shit killed my mood that whole day while as a conductor on the 7 train that day.

Checking in. How did today go? Anyone get finger printed and ID today and get start date?

I went this morning and some wait times seemed excessive. Qualified and everything. Needed some notarized documents tho. So I scrambled all day to get what I believe I need. I have an appt for 10am tomorrow to bring it all in. Hopefully all goes well and I’ll get sworn in. 

I saw a woman get sworn in today and her rule book and some other items. It felt good to see that. I said “yea, I’m next”. Lol. Hopefully tomorrow.
