CrazyD Posted January 11, 2019 Author Share #2 Posted January 11, 2019 Today's test wasn't too difficult. Much easier than the machinist testing. Know your tools and be good at math my only advice to everyone who takes it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyD Posted January 16, 2019 Author Share #3 Posted January 16, 2019 Successfully passed this test. Now i'm on to the background check. How long does it take? Will I get a notification of it being complete? If anyone know's the answer's please let me know, in the meantime I will continue to post here until the process is complete whether I am hired or not that way anyone in the future can prepare themselves for what's ahead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you do a background for the terminal Appearance attendant it's probably the same thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I did. That one was completed when I was on the same vendors website to do this one, no confirmation e-mail at all for it. Have you heard any news regarding that position? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing yet probably has something to do with the hiring freeze. Guess we have to wait till Spring time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyD Posted January 31, 2019 Author Share #8 Posted January 31, 2019 Does anybody know the difficulty to get a CDL B license? I know it's very expensive.... I can drive a forklift and a 3500 pickup/work truck, but no experience at all with CDL vehicles. I am actually surprised I could test, considering they said you need one within 60 days of hire for this position. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyD Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share #9 Posted February 6, 2019 Okay guys, I received a phone call this afternoon and I have a practical skills test following the written one I took. Wish me luck everyone please! I'll keep this thread updated with details for anyone else making it into this position. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyD Posted February 7, 2019 Author Share #10 Posted February 7, 2019 Also, they said it involves assembling and disassembling a motor. Nothing was specified if it was electric or diesel motor or a tiny lawn mower motor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyD Posted February 14, 2019 Author Share #11 Posted February 14, 2019 Well, it wasn't a motor. It was 2 pieces of sheet metal connected by bolts and spacers. Overall, wasn't that bad I assembled and disassembled within the time limit of 70 minutes. Next step they said is an AWS vertical stick welding test. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyD Posted February 20, 2019 Author Share #12 Posted February 20, 2019 Well, I failed the test. They have no mercy and I did not mention the other requirement. I tried to assemble it back together as quick as I could and I did not get one bolt fastened tight enough within the time limit. All bolts must be fastened very tight. The next step is a 3G AWS arc welding test and then an interview. I hope this helps anyone else who is pursuing this position. Good luck! If anybody is truly mechanically inclined and has years of experience I have no doubt they are qualified. I happen to be still a bit green, I gave it my best shot and that's all that matters. I feel if I had only 10 more minutes I would have got it lol which is also why i say I'm still green. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godiva29 Posted December 23, 2019 Share #13 Posted December 23, 2019 Hey Everyone I am new here and I am trying to get my foot in the MTA. I applied for Attendant Terminal Appearance, a few months ago .. like the ending of September. I routinely check back on the website to see my status ; recently it said Passed Pre screening. For those that currently hold the position, Does this mean they will call me back soon? How long from the time you put in the application did you hear back from them? And what would be the next steps WHEN I do hear back from them? I really would like a opportunity to work for the MTA Hopefully someone can answer my questions . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got in as a attendant terminal appearance in October. The timeline was like this - applied in September/October, test was in November, Interview was in March, PAT test and Drug test in September, was given a start day not long after that. The whole process could take a year. Edited December 27, 2019 by Thinklikeamango 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
