Not sure if this was posted, but the conductor position for MNRR reopened a few weeks ago, I'm guessing the freeze is over?

Not conductor position, assistant conductor.  Assistant conductor is the new entry level position.  Previously everyone went though a minimum of a year training and finished training as a conductor under federal regulations.  Now as an assistant conductor, you will have approximately two months of training, with little to no knowledge of operating rules or physical characteristics, then after a year as an assistant go into a longer promotion class to become a conductor.

PAT and Medical was last week, haven't gotten another email yet. How long till you got your results?

Have you heard anything? I took PAT and medical on 9/11/2019. I was told I passed both but still waiting to hear about toxicology. I was wondering if I should contact my recruiter

I'm not HR, so I have no idea.  Could be a week, month, six months.....  My recommendation is forget about that you applied, when and if you get called, worry about it then.  Every thing happens in railroad time, slow.

Any clue what it means if the keep posting for the position online?

 

I’ve completed my medical and criminal background check as of July, but I’m still waiting on hire date. 

 

Is it possible they don’t hire you after the whole process?

Have you contacted your recruiter? When doing my medical I was recommended to stay in contact every couple weeks with my recruiter, after finding out you passed everything.

Yes, I was told that I’m just waiting approval.  I have no negative factors in my background or criminal history, and I was already informed I passed the toxicology and medical.

guess I’m just overthinking it since I’ve completed the process in July.

 

but I keep seeing the position get posted online every two weeks.

I think the hiring freeze is still in place

If you look at the transformation plan implementation timeline on page 31

https://new.mta.info/sites/default/files/2019-07/MTA Transformation Plan - Report.pdf

it extends a few months after the implementation of the Transformation Management Office.

 

According to this press release

http://www.mta.info/press-release/mta-headquarters/mta-board-approves-transformation-plan-–-agency-be-reorganized-first

October 15, 2019 - The MTA will hire and have in place a Chief Transformation Officer and establish the Office of Transformation Management, as well as complete a detailed Reorganization Implementation Plan.

The postings popping up recently are for anticipation of it being over soon.  Good luck all
