Lots of paperwork. Fill out the paperwork they sent you, and have everything they request ready to go. You will also do a drug test and they'll hand you a packet as homework

Only if I was lucky enough to skip the OPA 😭

The same thing happened to me I called the employment center and told them I didn’t receive a pre employment letter list number in the 200’s  and they told me to come in Monday at 7:30

Whats the number for the employment center?

Question: if you choose to defer your employment, do you still have to drug test that day?

According to the NOE page 2, the OPA is a requirement for the job.  Skipping the OPA might result in an unfavorable outcome.

The reason why I mentioned it was because some other guy or girl on this forum mentioned that they never took the OPA and just got the pre employment letter

Wait about a week. If you receive nothing in the mail, send an email to them or visit 180 Livingston in person to get an update.

I’m thinking of forgetting about this job. It’s a shame. 

I moved to Florida about a year after taking 6601. I’m list number 16xx. I was told to update my address with the exams unit and I did that right when I moved to Florida. I also have a forward active with the USPS. However, I never received the OPA invite but I did receive my NOR last month to my Florida address. I was always planning on moving back to NY; this is just temporary. Been here a year and four months so far.

I’m ready to take a quick trip to NY and do all the OPA stuff but I still haven’t received anything; just NOR.

You got a great list number. Probably 1-2 years tops. I think you shouldn't forget about it. Definitely don't depend on it, but I think you got a great chance.

If I were you I would email the exams unit and ask about the OPA I did back in December of last year and asked when my list number would receive the OPA and they said that the next rounds of OPA will go out during the 1st quarter of 2018. And they also informed me that they have over 30k candidates and etc.

Definitely. I emailed them on Thursday. Hopefully, I’ll receive a response from them this week. I’m planning on moving back to NY by November of this year when I’m done with HVAC school. They’ll probably reach my number by then.

There is no sure answer, the exam unit might give it to you. But we go by the posts in this thread, so far I think the highest number is 1170

This question might be a question thats not easily answered but how long does it take from OPA to pre employment?

Theres may factors that are at play a lot of people who are going through the pre employment and medical aren't all going to go through. I notice that when it came to me doing the NYPD process we started off with 1000s of candidates at the beginning at towards the academy only a couple went through.

It's going to vary because it really depends on the amount of vacancies available for the position.
