Do they take your picture for ID card? if you have documentation scheduled, you should have received a big email with detailed information about it. dress code is said to be casual (but it never hurts to dress more than casual), and yes they do take picture for the ID. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

New TTC Operator Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 24 minutes ago, Mark97 said: I was just going to wear jeans and a cardigan As someone that just went through the process of hiring and been on the job for a few months, I recommend dressing up. Impressions are made the second you walk in the room and if you put effort into dressing to impress it gives the impression that this is important to you right off the bat. Dress casual and it may not hurt you, but it won't help you. A tie, shirt, dress pants and shoes send the messege you want... Mature, responsible and that you have your shit together without you having to say a word. My two cents.. Best of luck either way. 1 minute ago, New TTC Operator said: As someone that just went through the process of hiring and been on the job for a few months, I recommend dressing up.

Betablocker Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 18 hours ago, ttcscarb said: what do you wear to documentation? same as interview? Do they take your picture for ID card? Business casual. You'll have your picture taken for the employee card and sign a bunch of documents relating to employment conditions, insurance, benefits, etc. You will also get fitted for dress shirts. For slacks and blazer you will have to visit the tailor at Finch and Midland but that's after training. On your first day of training you will have to dress in business attire: dress shirt, slacks, a tie, and dress shoes for men, business casual attire for women. You'll get the sheet that explains the dress code for training at documentation. Best of luck to all of you! Link to post Share on other sites

I simply laugh when people say robots will take all the driving jobs. It'll happen but quite doubtful in any of our careers. I'll start worrying when ttc can install a bloody elevator in all the stations. Or presto machines that work lol Link to post Share on other sites

Pirlo Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 If the hunch I have is right and the rumors about ttc wanting to hire more subway operators are true, the process is going slowly because they are "delaying it" as the vaughan extension is to be completed later this year. Would this make sense? Link to post Share on other sites

Just wanted to know if anyone from that session has been contacted for an interview? Hey KG724, I have been watching this forum for past 2 months and now finally you have mentioned that you were in Orientation Session on November 15th, 2016. I am also in a similar boat as yourself. I had my info session on November 16th and I just received an email for an interview yesterday, January 12th, 2016 for Feb 03, 2017. Hope this helps. I am also looking for any help I can get in regards to the interview and what it entails. Link to post Share on other sites
