Wow, a lot of trainees must cycle through Hillcrest! I'll probably see you there, but I start on Tuesday.

Making friends with someone from or near your info session is also good Just do your routes for the job shadow, prep for the interview and be yourself. @Libra Don't read too much into it; we're people helping people first. If they wanted computers, we'd all be out of a job.

Hey @Toronto123, I got July 4th, Bus-Arrow Road. We're probably going to be in the same class. We should study together!

Congrats, but you got my job assignment and I got yours! Hi @jayjay, congrats! It sure feels good to get that interview email! My recommendation for your interview is to Google and YouTube "behavioural based interview questions." The STAR interview format. Bring a bottle of water and arrive early to your interview (super important!). None of us on here really had much help other than the Google and YouTube suggestions; we all worked hard to get where we are, yourself included. Clearly, they think you're a good-calibre candidate to interview; the interview is your chance to prove it to them.

Medical determines seniority. I had mine on Feb 9th and I got called for training last Thursday.

Sure does haha

I got the call this afternoon! My training date is July 4th. My mode and division after training is Bus at Arrow Road.

Hey @NuggetRocket, @Wallace89 and I had our documentation the week after yours; March 27th. I figured we'd be spare board to start. Can you keep us posted on your experiences? We figure we'll get the call pretty soon. Can you pm me your badge number and I'll pm you ours?

@LocomotiveZen congrats on your information session! You are assigned to a mode and work location based on the needs of the business. I wouldn't hold my breath for subway or streetcar; even though streetcar is my preferred mode. As for a timeline; my info session was on November 15, 2016 and I am going for my documentation on March 29th. I would say 5-6 months is a good ballpark for a timeline. As for your current job; the TTC gives 2 weeks notice before your training starts, so don't quit your job unnecessarily early. Hope this helps.

Thanks a lot for posting @NuggetRocket. I went right to Service Canada after reading! My documentation is March 29th, same as Wallace

Yeah @Wallace89, 10 over is no sweat. Technically, you can do 20 over only once (3 demerit points) and you'd still be good for employment. The TTC is connected to the MTO and they'll run an abstract check after documentation. Just go the speed limit for the next year and you'll be good. I'll do the same lol.

Congrats @Pirlo! All good things do come to those who wait. Keep us posted when you get your mode & division!

@Wallace89 we have pretty similar timelines (same info session); I just got my police clearance tonight. I was hoping this timeline would continue being speedy, but it seems as if we could have a bit more waiting ahead of us (not that I mind).

Hi Everyone, This forum has been of great help to me in my journey, as well. I thought I'd post my timeline too: Initial Application: August 27, 2016 Info Session: November 15, 2016 Interview: January 16, 2017 Offer of Employment: February 1, 2017 Medical: February 9, 2017 Receipt of TPS Clearance: Pending Documentation: Pending Good luck to everyone in the process!

I received an email tonight saying I was successful at my interview and my offer is on its way! I'm just looking to get my medical done asap.

Hey TTC_Man, thanks! My interview was last week, January 16-20 and my references were contacted during the same week. As for insight, triple check that you have everything that was asked of you in the interview email. I googled "behavioural based interview questions" and it really helped me prepare because some of the ones I practiced were in it. Bring water too, that was a suggestion at the info session and it was a big help. Good luck on your interview and just remember, you got yourself to the interview and only you can prove to them you have what it takes.

I was at the November 15, 2016 info session too. I've completed my interview and I'm waiting to hear back. Fingers crossed!
