I went to 180 living st today and ask about the hiring process. I talk to that short guy that was there when we went. He said we just have to wait. If it gets pass 90 days from August 8th, we should go back in and speak to someone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone got any updates on when are what is the process or have a number I can call for any updates im a little behind you currently had schedule i should be tanking my drug test sometime this or next week. They have me going to lighting. Since you took your drug test next their gonna call for medical/physical exam, and do basic hairing and eye test. Then they will go over all your paper work and history again, then call you in for orientation. I believe it will be two days where they tell you about the unions and make you sign papers about pension and benefits etc. Then you they send you to the school were we took the test for 4-10 weeks of training depending on which department your in. 347-643-8219 or 347-643-8195 Hard to get a hold of people but if you call a few times over the week, someone will answer Edited January 22 by Starsky 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same i want this job badly, basically they go by which of the 9 departments, needs, so they put me in lighting. Last year they added Car Maintainer Trainees, so thats the 9th department you could end up in. So basically nothing is set in stone for your department until after your done the 4-10 week training at the school, you can only transfer to another department after one year.

Thats why signals always needs the most people. The drug testing is insane literally 200-300 people a day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knw have work in signal before some where else as an assistant, so I have a littte experience so am not worried abt the third am concerned abt how serious RWP is treated in the tubes under ground and how you clear up when a train is come and all that good stuff. I heard that helpers mainly flag..a friend a mind to me apply TEH, then spend a year get permanent and then take the test for signal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The classes usually take 4-8 weeks depending on what electrical department your in. You know the mta is so slow in their hiring process. So it might be 3-4 months before you even get offically hired and start classes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jocelyne1990 Posted February 23 Share #67 Posted February 23 Hello everyone, I am a Navy veteran and I took the electrical helper test, i m pretty sure I had a high score in the 90's but I am half color blind, I can see red light and green light perfectly. but I always failed the "Ishihara test" and my doctor told me because of that I am half color blind. does anyone know if MTA Gives the "Ishihara test" for color vision? I heard that they also make you take a traffic light test if you fail the "Ishihara test". Please help me out thank you, everyone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
