theMojoking Posted July 23, 2009 Share #602 Posted July 23, 2009 This waiting really sucks. A lot can happen in 1-2 years. I'm not sure I really want to become a TO in 2 years. 1 to 2 years? No man. Try 3. Don't bother waiting because counting the seconds will drive you crazy. Just do something else, then out of the blue one day you will get a letter.

Zman Posted July 25, 2009 Share #605 Posted July 25, 2009 I understand patience. If it take 3 years to get called, I might be 40 years old to become a TO. I know the MTA doesn't discriminate, but I do feel old. Julio and others on this forum are in their 20s and are very young. Good things come to those who wait. Think about that guaranteed pension that you'll get when you get hired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackmanor1000 Posted August 3, 2009 Share #611 Posted August 3, 2009 My mother went to go take the T/O test but they had to reschedule it because they said the school "was flooded." Turns out, they never rescheduled it and my mother never got to take the test. I have a feeling they're going to do what they with the Station Agent and not even release the list. It's been about 2 years and they never released the list! At least for her...

I was talking about the Station Agent exam which was in 2008. So maybe not 2 years, but you get the point. They never released the list and it's been a long time. thats the first i'm hearing about a school being flooded the day of the train op test buddy. I'm not certain about the flooding thing, but she did apply for the test, got scheduled and was supposed to be rescheduled but lo and behold, they never rescheduled her and she never got to take the test.

Both of these scenarios you talk about are illegal. If a test is given and people paid to take it at least 1 person MUST be hired from that test which means the list must first be certified. As for the T/O test I know many people who took the test and read about many more on this site and nobody else had there test rescheduled. I have never heard anything about it either. You must be confused about what actually happened with your mom. Because of your very young age she may not be telling you everything, I don't tell my kids everything some things are not for kids to know.

Because of your very young age she may not be telling you everything, I don't tell my kids everything some things are not for kids to know. I maybe only be fifteen (in a few months), but I'm mature enough for her to be able to tell me about her job and things like this and for me to understand them. Now about the Station Agent exam, I know she took the test and hasn't gotten back the results or any information about the exam in general and neither have her colleagues that had taken the exam along with her. Maybe they just haven't given out results yet, so I can understand that. As for the Train Operator exam, I clearly remember her going to take at a school in the city but she came home because it got rescheduled. Ever since then, she was never told the rescheduled date. Maybe it was her fault for not going to find out the date but she was never contacted or mailed a paper about the new date like she was with the original exam date. About the flooding, I'm not too sure about that but I remember her saying something about that being the reason they had to reschedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Julio Posted August 3, 2009 Share #618 Posted August 3, 2009 It takes a year for the hiring list to be certified. The Station Agent exam was given in June of 2008. She should be getting something this month or next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
