LexAveExp5 Posted January 10, 2013 Share #1355 Posted January 10, 2013 Ok, so my 90 day drug test will expire by Jan 28th. Should i ask them to give me one soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ngmo111 Posted January 11, 2013 Share #1356 Posted January 11, 2013 Happy new year to all! Has anyone been called down to Livingston for final processing? I went down on Dec 13th for d/t but haven't heard anything yet. Just curious cause I have heard that some agencies are going on a freeze come February. I went down for the drug screen on Dec 13th as well. Have not heard anything yet. From what I'm reading the typical wait is 4-5 weeks. I'm glad I found this forum because I haven't come up with a phone number to find anything out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbM Posted January 11, 2013 Share #1357 Posted January 11, 2013 Yea. At one point I was able to get through on the general MTA #. But once I get transferred to human resources that is it, either voicemail or machine prompts. Guess all we can do is continue to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that makes sense, I just received a call today from the MTA to report in on Monday morning for the medical/final processing.. So yes, they are starting to call people to prep them up for the upcoming classes, which is a good sign.. My list number is between 325-335 but I was called in late so I honestly don't know what numbers are going to be called.. if anyone else has any information.. please let us know.. Traintrain From what im seeing here the ones in a "BETTER" position with the MTA usually do more reading here than responding to posts... So does that include you?

SeVenSinZ Posted January 11, 2013 Share #1359 Posted January 11, 2013 Does anyone have the number for 180 Livingston to speak with a live person? 3476438229 - ask to speak with the liaison.. If shes not there, leave a msg and she should reply fairly quick.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xentor Posted January 11, 2013 Share #1360 Posted January 11, 2013 (edited) Traintrain From what im seeing here the ones in a "BETTER" position with the MTA usually do more reading here than responding to posts... HAHA! Maybe back when you joined Transit there weren't as many resources or a community you could tap into. All you had was a chair, a book and pounding patience. I get what you're saying though. Not only that but you probably had yourself a job somewhere keeping busy. People these days are working a lot of part-time gigs with bachelor degrees going nowhere. MTA offers somewhat strong job security and benefits one can live on. It's also a lot of fun reading up on all these things.

Big Blue Posted January 11, 2013 Share #1361 Posted January 11, 2013 3476438229 - ask to speak with the liaison.. If shes not there, leave a msg and she should reply fairly quick.. Thanks man. I spoke with the liaison and she was able to clear up my situation. If I don't get called for the Jan class, I should be set for Feb. Good luck on your final processing, I hope all goes smooth.

ngmo111 Posted January 11, 2013 Share #1362 Posted January 11, 2013 I also went in that week for the drug test, on the 12th.. My list number is between 325-335.. I haven't gotten a call from the MTA either. All I got was a letter from DCAS to go in this past Monday so I can verify my veterans credit(Which I did). I'm also still waiting for a call or a letter. Ok ...hang tight. I see on here the norm is 4-5 weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eagerto Posted January 13, 2013 Share #1371 Posted January 13, 2013 Hello everyone, newbie here. im sure this question was asked before but i did not find it. I was sent a notice for the pre-interview and medical. What does that mean? What does the pre-interview entail? If i pass the pre-interview and medical does that mean i go straight to training? Are there more hoops to jump before i get to the training class? I am taking a day off from work to take the medical and risking my current employment by doing so. Do i have to take more days off? like for interview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bc0v9g9 Posted January 13, 2013 Share #1372 Posted January 13, 2013 Hello everyone, newbie here. im sure this question was asked before but i did not find it. I was sent a notice for the pre-interview and medical.What does that mean? Go down to MTA office to fill out preliminary work/life history and take drug test. You'll also recieve a comprehensive work history package to complete and hand-in for medical/interview visit. What does the pre-interview entail? Overview type questions of work/life history and drug/urine test. If i pass the pre-interview and medical does that mean i go straight to training? No, indepth medical and interview regarding the comprehensive work/life booklet and the 1st preliminary work/life booklet. Are there more hoops to jump before i get to the training class? Yes too many what ifs to name... I am taking a day off from work to take the medical and risking my current employment by doing so. Do i have to take more days off? like for interview? Most probably. At least 2 days - drug/urine test (preliminary) and medical/final processing. Could be a difference of 5 days to 90 days. HI Eagerto: i tried my best from memory and past similar q/a's. Congrats on the start of your journey. PS - What is your list # range? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
