Gacerra1 Posted June 15, 2019 Share #76 Posted June 15, 2019 Staten island railway is different from metro north, as long island rr is also different. They are all handled differently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gacerra1 Posted June 15, 2019 Share #78 Posted June 15, 2019 I believe all the benefits are generally the same some what getting a call from the mta for a position is like hitting the lotto. NYCT is civil service and you have to take a test to be appointed. The other commuter railroads you apply and they pick you. Best of luck to you! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm unsure of SIRTOA's benefits and pay. I have only applied to a few positions with them and no call backs. I've only had luck with metro north as far as interviews and testing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I interviewed with Metro North over 6 months ago and havent heard anything. I think starting pay for SIRTOA is $22.60 and goes up to 29 and change after 4 years. I'm re-writing my resume this week. Do you think it's a bad idea to list an off the books job? I worked off the books doing construction for a few months until I found the job where I'm at now. Any info helps Thanks! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am unsure in that situation. I would imagine yes but have some sort of proof of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadster991 Posted June 29, 2019 Share #89 Posted June 29, 2019 I believe they won't lift the hiring freeze until after the consultants do their thing with streamlining the agencies back office operations. It was supposed to be end of June, its probably more like end of July. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spoke to some MNRR employee's a couple months ago at GCT saying alot of retirements going on within the agency this year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankRizzo Posted July 6, 2019 Share #93 Posted July 6, 2019 Hey guys, I was looking over the applications I put in for the MTA and noticed that some say applied and some say passed pre screening. I'm looking at my application for track worker and it says I passed the pre screening and next to it says screening results passed. The passed screening results showed up after my interview and It's the only application that says I passed for both. Does this mean theres a good chance of being called? Thanks FRANK 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks FRANK hey guys, If you had an interview already, make sure you check your e-mail for any messages regarding a background check. HR may or may not tell you one is coming, so take a look...Check all your folders SPAM etc. A 2nd interview or starting a background check would be the next step. But I still believe they are under a hiring freeze and will delay this. No news is good news. Edited July 7, 2019 by roadster991 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I still believe they are under a hiring freeze and will delay this. No news is good news. I’ve completed the written exam, background check, Practial exam and panel interview. I was told there are no classes being scheduled at this time, but to keep an eye on my emails as that can all change very quickly. MNRR employees I’ve spoken too said they keep hearing the freeze should be gone by fall. So i guess I’ll just wait. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankRizzo Posted July 12, 2019 Share #98 Posted July 12, 2019 Well I just got an email from staten island railway and it looks like I didnt get the job. Very depressing. Hopefully I'll hear back from Metro North for the custodial position one of these days. in the meantime I guess I'll keep applying 😩 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staten island interview and Metro north were both panel interviews. I thought the staten island one went great but I was wrong. The metro north one wasnt bad but it was before a big snow storm and was kinda rushed. I feel like I could of answered the questions better. Thats awesome man, good luck! What position is your physical ability test for? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
