How long after taking the exam for B/O does it typically take the MTA to contact you for the next step of the hiring process? I am just trying to get an understanding of the process. I heard that it’s been pretty quick lately due to the shortage. 

It’s been a five month wait for me so don’t hold ur breath. My best advice is take the test and then forget about it. Realistically who is truly dying to sit 8 hours a day driving all day, and everyday for the rest of ur life. Zen it…

What?  You should’ve asked them what is your list number and what number they’re up too.   In class they told us they’re hiring 100 Bus Operators every 2 weeks until the end of the year.

I left a message on both numbers and they got back to me. I was able to reschedule for this Wednesday. I told them that I resolved my issue-lost Social security card- and they also told me my list number 1##. So don't give up if you guys need to reschedule.

City jobs only go 10 years back. 

It would be easy if it was only 10 years. I don’t even remember the names of my supervisors from 20 years ago,lol and I doubt they remember me. I don’t even know who they would be contacting. It is what it is.

Do you know how many questions will be on the exam and how long I should expect to be there?

I still don’t know if I should put a job that I got fired from before I left HS.

I’m happy that you got onto them.  I’ve been sharing those numbers ever since my friend keep calling and getting on to them.

I’m trying to stay as focused as I need to.  I did school bus but this is totally different driving.  I’ve learned a lot so far.  I have to pass this.

They ask you to go back until your 18 or right after high school so if it’s before that time you can leave it out.

ive been calling now for days left messages and more emails i still havent got someone to answer or call me back cant understand it at all 😢, at this point im really cant understand how anyone gets thru , i call over and over , every day at multiple times of the day no luck , still dont know my list number or anything .

[Phoenix]

Ok so on 1/31 I went down to Livingston  Street to take the drug test again for the P/T BO exam 1301. I have to go back down to Livingston in 2 weeks to do the drug test for 2302 as well. I realize I may have to do the paperwork over, but can they use my drug test from another exam title and apply it to this one. If anyone has had a similar experience or any info I would appreciate it. If I can avoid a chaotic all day affair like the one I had on the 31st it would be awesome.

[BOO3]

Finally, I just got called in for pre-employment for 2302 (99929).

Good night.  Check above I posted 2 numbers which most people got onto them with.  I send it to Andy 1.  Ask them for your list list number and what number they’re up too.  So you can have an idea when you will be called.

It will be great if you know your list number. Hope you’re fully vaccinated so you will not be held back,  it’s difficult to get back to them sometimes.  They told us in orientation every 2 weeks they’re hiring 100 people for the rest of the year

Good night.  Everything going smoothly for you?

I was called to go to Livingston on December. However I was missing my Social -lost it-. I finally went to Social Security by appointment only yesterday. Now I have to wait 2 - 3 weeks by mail. My Question is. Will it be wise to call or e-mail to reschedule the pre-employment process 🤔 while waiting on Social card? 

Good night.  Did you get things finalized?  What’s the update, I’m here to help.

Good night. All is well. I’m waiting on the medical for the part time list and scheduled for the drug test for the 2302 exam. When do you take your driving exam? I’m happy you finally got on with all the delays. Do you know any of the list numbers of people in your class? Just to give a clue where they are at in the hiring process.

They didn’t say. I guess I have to find out when I go in. They just gave my number for the part time list.
