HRD is showing me as getting a card with a date of 11/23. My girlfriend is getting one and 2 buddies from my Army Reserve unit. Anyone else hear anything? Does anyone know if their hiring process differs at all from other departments?

I haven't seen the actual card. I'm just going off of the HRD websites info. It says to reply by 12/05. I'm sure there are easy to follow instructions on it, I've gotten a couple from the DOC that were straightforward. The HRD site can give more info on the whole process. Out of the 4 of us I'd say maybe only 3 reply and only 2 are even really interested. Good luck!!

Once you get the card, report to the MBTA HQ at 240 Southampton St in Dorchester. There you will sign the sheet saying that you are still interested. After you sign the list, you will start filling out the paperwork to start the BGI. Good luck all.

Congrats guys and gals who have received notice (card or on HRD website) that they will be receiving a card. So, it is interesting to me that they start your BI before you interview and go through all of the other phases of the hiring process. Does anyone know why that is? Is a safe assumption that if you are getting a card, so long as you go through the process with no bumps in the road you are good to go? Forgive my ignorance, I am new to the Civil Service thing. I have a few buddies who are on with various civil service departments around the state, and it seems as though if you get a card you have a major foot in the door. I have only heard of literally one or two guys who have gotten cards and were not accepted. The only reason I ever heard was they had bad driving history. Any input?

I have a question, it looks like I will be receiving a notice from the MBTA. Yes, I know it is not a sure thing, I most likely will not even get an interview. My question is I am currently working for a non civil service department now. Yes, I know I can't transfer to a civil service department, but if by the luck of the draw, I do get a job offer with the MBTA, do I have to attend their acadamy?

It must just be the D-Vets getting cards for now. Hopefully they get to the Vets in the 10 band next time around. Good luck Sarge.
I see you had to 1 up my CAB. lol
