MNRR Assistant Conductor Trainee

[Lawrence St]

Hello!

Is anyone else in the background check stage? How long does it take? And how much longer until we are officially hired? Thanks

[2ride]

I’m so ready for this interview if I pass the BG check. I can’t wait to be that train leader!

Hey @Lawrence St I just had my interview with them. Did you have one yet? I’m wondering how you did.

I did fine. As long as the interview went on long and they told you about start dates and all that, your in the good.

What do you mean by as long as it went on long?

The rule with interviews is the longer the interview goes on for, the more likely you are to get the job as they see potential in you.

I wonder how many people they’re interviewing because they said they are holding a class of only a certain amount of people.

Anyone who interviewed for this position heard back yet? I still have not received an email from them about the next steps.

@Lawrence St Have you heard anything yet since the interview?

Hey quick question for the exam did you have to know the definitions and signals verbatim or was just general knowledge ok?

The test is multiple choice but the more details you know the better

Do you guys know what was on the math portion? I took the test last year, but I got stuck with the math. I haven't done it in such a long time, but I passed everything else with ease.

Anyone currently working for MNRR, is classroom training the same rate of pay? Thanks

Wow you got an offer letter for conductor? 

[Lawrence St]

Has anyone else just been plagued with issues trying to do this position? From the no responses to the last minute requests this is kind of ridiculous. I'm seriously thinking of declining the position and staying at NJT, this whole process is a mess.

[2ride]

It’s absolutely insane. I passed my cleaners for this agency and I still haven’t been contacted for an interview yet, but they still have another posting up right now. Like how much longer do they go on with applicants without responses?

[Lawrence St]

Does MNRR offer paid leave like sick time and such?

im still confused with the training part, for the 24 months we go through training we can’t have a vacation? That’s ludicrous!

You keep posting on this forum about your so called bad experiences with MNR, one minute you had an interview and didn't get picked and now you still haven't been called.. which is it? 

If you didn't get picked, don't come on here bashing the company yet still have a desire to work there. It's a public forum where they can see what you post. They have the right to interview you and not pick you, prob found someone who's more qualified or maybe just a better fit and I don't blame them based off your multiple disgruntled post history. Jesus Christ.

Where are you getting this information from? Of course you get sick time lol and you get vacation depending on when you start. Training is not 2 years, you may wait 2 years to promote to conductor but that may change depending on demands of the company.

When I did the interview that's what I was told. Perhaps I misheard them and they meant one year.

I keep getting mixed answers as to when we will do on-the job training, some say classroom training is two weeks and then you lead into on-the-job, others say its two months and then your able to go in service under supervision by the fourth month.

If you had an interview already and are possibly in consideration for employment, any emails you send to HR right now are gonna take a backseat. They are probably trying to get you and multiple other candidates set up for class. Theres various things they have to do after they find enough candidates to start a class. Patience is key. You have an edge coming from NJT, training is gonna be a breeze for you. Training is a mix of OJT and lots of class time. I will PM you some details about your questions.

Serious question, how old are you? You’re not stalking me or anything right? Based on your post history, you don’t seem to get a lot of responses from other people on the forum because of how rude and denigrating you are sometimes, I hope you realize that.

That’s a lie man! I never PMed you. I PMed someone else about the process. Take a chill pill, you seem to have spent too much time on this forum confusing yourself with everything now. Also, you don’t need to caps lock your thoughts. Everyone here is supportive and searching for answers resiliently on how to board on the company. Your misinterpretation of things is only making it worse.
