Transit Jobs NOW!!! Coast Mountain Bus is HIRING!

How did the training go? I hear it is quite intense ? Any tips you can share for success ?

 

hey everyone,

I’m starting my training as an operator soon, wondering if anyone can share any tips for success... I’ve heard that the training is quite intense, so am feeling stressed in anticipation... thx in advance

 

Hi,

I have read through 75 pages of this forum so far. Got some insight to what to expect for the Customer Service Test and English Comprehension test.

Safety first and then customer service.

The email talks about ability to diffuse possible conflict situations.

Can anyone Pm or post any information to help? My test is tomorrow, and sometimes common sense isn't common and I'd like to think I have it, but don't we all?

Thank you in advance.

 

Hello everyone! It’s been a long time since I’ve been on here. Last time I posted was last year when CMBC terminated me for taking time off when my mom was sick. My greivance went to the second stage, my union rep fought real hard for me but it was no use. I’ve been in a bad place emotionally for 7 months now. But I picked myself up and now I’ve just been hired with a bus company that does charters and picks up and drops off school kids. Way better than CMBC!!

 

Glad to hear you're doing better. I read through this entire forum in the last two weeks and read your posts. From trying to get in to getting in and getting let go of.

Hope your new career works out for you and you remain happy.

Good luck with it

 

Hi! Long time no see.

Good to hear that you are doing better now. Best of luck with your new career!

 

Hi Gang, I haven't been posting here much lately, been more active over on Reddit.

FYI: TransLink is moving ahead with the mayors councils ten year plan to increase and expand service through out the region. More buses, more often, extended SkyTrain, a third SeaBus, light rail for Surrey.

They need more staff! In particular more drivers, but many other opportunities too!

Keep an eye on those websites, check often for all opportunities!

Good luck!

 

Is there anyone who applied for the Transit Operator position this year between June to July?

 

where is the super checker? he crashed and died?

 

I post mostly over on www.reddit.com/r/vancouver these days

I applied last month. I got to the interview step. Now I’ve waiting over a week with no response. Slow and steady I suppose.

 

I applied recently and got to go to the panel interview step in Surrey. Now I’ve been waiting over a week with no response. Boy is it a slow process.
