Check your mail when you get a chance.

FINALLY, after years of applying and a couple interviews I recieved a letter today that I qualified on the oral test and avaluation process for entry level maintenance for PATH..... My name will be added to a data base of qualified candidates.... So basically I am going to be sitting in a pool of andidates until vacancies arise....Does anyone know how long this usually takes?

I'm waiting too.....

Congrats! Your in the same boat that myself and some others are in. As I understand it, you're on the list until someone leaves or is promoted into another position, could be tomorrow could be a year from tomorrow.

Thanks, its been a long time coming. When I interviewed it was for track and structual worker. I hope its not a year from now, on the letter i recieved it says i will be elgible for placement for a period of one year. I hope interviewing for track and structual worker dosent limit me to just that position. With the other departments in Maintenance

Did they ask for a background check or is that only for passenger info agent. I got the same letter and what I'm hearing its a lottery to get pick for your position.
Its been months and i still have not heard of anything from path since i received that letter.

Im not certain if they did a bachground check, but i would think so. They did say I passed the oral test and evaluation process.

I just want to know when the year is up do you have to do the whole process over. Take the test, oral test ect. I hope it doesn't come to that for us.

How many interviews did you got too?

I took the test 3 times, failed it the first because of the math part.. then I passed the test the 2nd time and went for an interview at the harrison car maintenance facility, and I failed the oral test. Then the last time I took the test was in November passed, got scheduled for an interview 4/12 and got my letter 5/9 that I passed the oral interview and evaluation process. so 3 tests, 2 interviews. and pobably a total of 3 years.

3 years is a lot. what was this interview for trackman, asst signal repairman, or maintenance facility?

the first interview I had was for general maintainer, cleaning the trains. I was really nervous on that one and just lost focus. but this last interview i went on was for track and structual worker
