Interview
The process was simple. I took a multiple choice test. After passing they call you in for an interview and ask you the normal questions. Tell about yourself, why do you want to work here, do you have a fear of driving through tunnels etc,.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at NJ TRANSIT (New York, NY)
Interview
Very slow process just to be offered an interview, in fact, I'm not sure I would have been offered an interview for the position at all if I hadn't asked for it while declining an interview for the assistant conductor training program. It was at least three months of nothing happening after I entered my application.
The interview itself was easy.
