Hi all, i just started and just got paid but it doesnt seem right. Do I get paid the 2 weeks on my first paycheck or just the 1st week? Just very confused.

You get paid for the first week only. Your paystub will show the week in which you were paid for. There is a delay of two weeks for payout. 

Hope that helps.

The info session was good!  It just made me want to do this more now!  The test I almost finished (just a few math questions that got the better of me! Knew I should have paid more attention in algebra LOL!)  Where are you in this process?

Hi, thanks for that! I don't have my paystub yet so I wasn't sure if I got paid correctly.

Just got the training call this afternoon! Starting July 10th for subway (Yonge/ University/ Spadina line) 

Anything I should read up on before I start training? Any tips would be appreciated! :)

I was hoping for bus at first but I think I will get to like subway lol. 

Good luck to everyone waiting for their calls!

@jayjay. Congratulations! Were you in the AM or PM info session on May 24? So far I've done the street car downtown shadow and east n west of Yonge buses. I was very thankful that the operators were very approachable and informative. They understood what I'm going through. They also gave me some tips for the interview. For the interview prep, I was watching a few star interview on utube and I read a book. Hopefully il sound confident and at ease at the interview. Mine by the way is on Jul 4, just the day before yours. Goodluck to both of us??

I was reading Boost your interview IQ by Carole Martin. I got it from Indigo. 

 

Thanks so much Libra, I just checked it out - looks like a decent read, will have to add to my summer reading list!  Maybe if I'm lucky it will be a good luck charm!

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.

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.

Congratulations, got my call for training yesterday as well. This forum has been awesome. I don't post much but all the advice and tips have helped me thru. You're all really awesome. Hopefully I can pay it forward as well.

I've been following this for a couple months as well and noticed people are being called up in order from their medical date?

My medical was on march 8, 2017 so hopefully I ll get the call soon..

I live in markham and I hope I get birchmount/malvern division or even subway is fine with me...
