So, do you mean that I should only expect a job in 2016 or 2017 at the earliest? It's a long time, but there's always things for me to do in the meantime.

What are these 30 days? Also, do you mean multiple 8 hr shifts -- as in, very early morning --- noon, then, on the same day, afternoon --- midnight? How long does this kind of grueling schedule last?

Out of town, where? And in what context -- what would I be doing outside of the 5 boroughs?

Thanks for all the comments, I'm still keeping my options open as far as teaching goes, but I definitely won't end up as a "regular" teacher -- maybe a para, or a literacy coach, at most.

Thanks again,
Alex.

if you have the time i wud def recommend reading as many of the posts you can from this and all of the past threads... its a lot to read but all your questions will be answered and im sure you will find out everything you want to know about this job and a lot more

Default The new 100 hires... And the 100 Retitled / Demoted Foremen !

Do you already know what garages they're going to already? Or how many new bodies each garage will get citywide? My third question is will detached guys get their transfer in to their new garages? How do transfers alter the number of new hires a garage will receive? How does it work? Transfers first?

I cant tell you how jealous I am of your list number. To answer your question it seems as if the only hold up would be the bloodwork and urine not taking into account any other serious medical conditions you may have put on your paperwork. Everything else you took was either pass fail on spot. This is just a guess but maybe this friday you should give them a call.

I know they're in a rush for this class so does anyone know the approximate turn around time on the medical?
Guys like this(list slugs)are why the list moves so slow. Nothing personal, you have your reasons to pass it up twice. Life is a crap shoot, you roll the dice and hope it
works out for you. But the rules state that you have up to 3 chances to accept the employment offer.

Yea, 3 chances, not necessarily 3 classes. After someone declines, they have to reinstate their number to be called again. People like you shouldnt criticize someone who did very well on a test and allowed them the opportunity to decline and still get hired before you. They earned that right by scoring well or getting the extra points for serving their country. Maybe these people who declined had something going on in their lives where they couldnt take the job when they were called, or maybe they just felt like going fishing that day. Its their choice, they earned it by paying the same fee you did to take the same test. They just did better.
