Bruticus Posted January 9, 2017 Share #79 Posted January 9, 2017 I had the interview already before they gave me the results to my attention exam I guess because I am a Train Operator lol. They told me I should hear back from them very soon good luck to those who go on the next step. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronboundNJT Posted January 10, 2017 Share #84 Posted January 10, 2017 Congrats to everyone so far. I stumbled across the email for the attention test while deleting old emails. Immediately Called the number and they were kind enough to reschedule me for next week. Tho she did mention they are calling in a specific order. Dont know if it meant with the test or the entire process so take that with a grain of salt. Best of luck guys Sent from my LG-H918 using Tapatalk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done interview, attention test, and did the drug test/ physical/ "obstacle course" Unless something impossible occurs next time I contacted should be a job offer.

TD123 Posted February 20, 2017 Share #91 Posted February 20, 2017 Nice, congrats. What did the physical fitness obstacle course consist of? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronboundNJT Posted February 20, 2017 Share #92 Posted February 20, 2017 Nice, congrats. What did the physical fitness obstacle course consist of? Thanks how far along are you? Open a sash window 2x Open a weighted door 2x 3 laps climbing onto and off of a elevated platform using the attached stanchions and ladder. They're @ or close to the exact height of an actual engine 2x Unscrew by hand 16 nuts, bolts, and washers from one area and screw them into another while on elevated platform 8 laps on this walkway designed to resemble walking along the tracks. It's purposely uneven, has raised areas, and includes a third rail. And every 3rd lap with final one you have to sidestep off and back onto walkway before finishing lap.

TD123 Posted February 20, 2017 Share #93 Posted February 20, 2017 Cool, All that does not sound hard at all.

IronboundNJT Posted August 19, 2017 Share #99 Posted August 19, 2017 Did they contact you again to start in a class yet? Did you find the obstacle course difficult or would it be harder for the more 'rounder built'? No they never did. I've reached out to my recruiter via phone and email and I've never received a response. I'm so use to simply never hearing from railroad hr that this was so bizarre. The obstacle course isn't difficult. If you can follow directions, climb a ladder, and step over anything the height of a standard desktop tower it's all good.

Acela Express Posted April 29, 2018 Share #100 Posted April 29, 2018 Good afternoon all. I've been looking into more information regarding the engineering hiring for MNRR. The initial hiring test has been completed, and I passed, and I'm assuming the background information checked out too, because I've received another email inviting me to the selective attention testing sometime this coming week. I'm assuming the interview will come afterwards -- can anyone provide details on the upcoming interview? What's it like? I've been an BO for 7+ plus years and looking for a change. I heard there's a way to bring over retirement time if you talk to the proper people and such. What's the word? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
