2ride Posted June 10, 2022 Share #1 Posted June 10, 2022 I know I’ve posted this before, but it has been a while since some people have gotten passed pre screening for that position. Has anyone been invited for an exam yet? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinklikeamango Posted June 15, 2022 Share #6 Posted June 15, 2022 Because of the east side access they added alot of jobs, 15+ open jobs at the moment for terminal appearance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheesh , hoping to be invited for an exam soon , I’m actually shocked I didn’t get an invite yet , I’ve applied 3x already , plus I have commercial cleaning experience with CUNY. I actually have a question for you. Does metro north do credit checks for pre employment ? Also, would stating that you were terminated from previous jobs on the background check prevent your from getting a interview ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thinklikeamango Posted June 16, 2022 Share #8 Posted June 16, 2022 I believe they do credit checks for conductors only from what I know. I'm not sure about the job terminations but if you put it down and try not to hide it I don't see why they wouldn't hire you. Make sure your resumes matches the job description, look for some keywords and try to include them if the advertisment for the job goes up again which I'm sure it will. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't tell you if you got in or not but those who make it all the way to the interview usually are hired. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During the interview did they discuss work hours. Congrats on making it to the interview stage. I hope you get in, keep us posted if you do . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
