busandjays Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Had my interview today, hour and a half long just like someone else posted. I thought it went well, 2-3 weeks to hear back from them. Regarding parking, interesting to note that the interview email said there is no parking on-site. So I arrived with plenty of time to see the neighbourhood and found out right away there's paid parking across the street or right next to the building for $7 bucks maximum rate.

In regards to parking...I believe the no parking that the email is referring to is on TTC property. Of coarse you can park anywhere else as it stops becoming TTC concern. BTW I believe you're referring to the school parking where I had also parked my car. Goodluck during the waiting period. Its honestly the toughest waiting period throughout the whole process.

busandjays Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Thank you! 2 - 3 week wait to know the outcome of the interview is not that bad. If I pass that, then I'd feel good to wait even longer for the next steps. Yes, across the street is the George Brown campus parking, but the one next to the TTC building is closer and a dollar cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No you won't get till maybe a week or so when your done training .. Dress attire until then. Some sizes are quicker then others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanfish Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 Did you pass the interview, wanfish? yeah，just signed my condition offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busandjays Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 Big congratulations!. So, the way it seems to work 3 weeks after the interview is: if you don't pass it, they send you an emai letting you know. If you do, they send you an email or call you to come in for documentation. After documentation they would send you for a medical, a police certificate and check your references. Am I correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After documentation they would send you for a medical, a police certificate and check your references. Am I correct? After you get the congratulatory phone call they will make a date for you to come in for a "conditional offer signing". Documentation and training dates comes after your medical and references and police clearances have been satisfactory by the TTC. This process can take another 2-3 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajaxdriver Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 You sign the conditional offer then medical/police check,and reference check. .. once it all checks out they call you for documentation and you get your training date.

andyman Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 TTC will provide all the uniforms on the first day of trainning ,right ? or after we passed test. You could wait months till after your training is finished to receive all your uniforms. Well for certain things anyways. The jackets are very quick but I waited almost a month for pants and for a pretty regular size. You will have to visit three different places for sizing of different pieces and not at the most convenient locations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Applecart Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 Nokia boy, is there any training class scheduled for the Malvern division in January? All my ducks in a row now, including the ministry approval, so I am hoping to hear back from the TTC about documentation soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busandjays Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Good morning!. So, if I'm not mistaken, if you pass the interview, you receive a congratulatory phone call... And if you don't, it's a generic thank you very much email? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach J Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Good morning!. So, if I'm not mistaken, if you pass the interview, you receive a congratulatory phone call... And if you don't, it's a generic thank you very much email? I believe you were told you will find out in 2-3 weeks if you have passed the interview by receiving a congratulatory phone call. If you have not received a phone call during that time frame than you might receive a letter from what I have read from members in this discussion board. As I said before this is the toughest wait period. Its honestly do or die. Just stay positive and hope for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busandjays Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 They obviously didn't tell me anything about that on the interview, that's why I'm asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
902 Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 They obviously didn't tell me anything about that on the interview, that's why I'm asking. They should have. They didn't tell you anything about the next step and when you would hear back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busandjays Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 They certainly did tell me about the next step and when abouts, but they didn't say what I'm asking here. Whether a phone call means you passed the interview or an email means you failed it. No biggy. Either way I'll find out soon and will post what it was.

buschic Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Alot of older operators are waiting till the next contract is negotiated which is next year before they take their retirement. I know of at least 45 ppl, in that position, some are at QSY, birch, MTD, Malvern, Russell, Roncy, Wilson sub.. The new contract process is looking from the inside to be a messy affair. These is still alot floating around some divisions right now. I am told Queensway has never had this many trainees before! my friends are going nuts, my bff, has had ppl on his run, several times in the last few months, before he was lucky if he got 1 a year.
