Is it just me or did they seem to go out of order with calls? They ended the last class with #336 and it seems like they were calling people in the upper 400s I only saw one person in the mid 300s get the call I am in the upper 300s 38* and I gotta say I'm pretty pissed off because I think both classes are full. I wasn't sure if I was skipped so I called my investigator 100 times and never got threw to him I sent emails with no reply so I have no idea if I was skipped or if they went out of order but the whole process seems like a load of b@ll $hit to me I have no idea what to do now no one is of any help when I call investigations

People get skipped over for various reasons. The background investigation process is lengthy. Also if they don't receive responses from your previous employers it can slow things down.

If they fail to receive a response from 1 previous employer but get responses from all your others, do they hold you back?
 
No background investigation should take 10 months! I was skipped over in September, and it looks like it's going to happen again for February... I had my intake interview in April, 2013, and my complete medical in May.... Some candidates on here had their interview in November, and were hired in January.... 2 months for some, and 10 months for others??? Total crap!
 
And it's not just "some people" being skipped over....From what I'm reading here, FDNY is jumping over 100's of people at a time!

They aren't jumping over 100's of people. Everybody on the list isn't on this forum. Just because you don't hear from anybody in a group doesn't mean they were all skipped over just might mean that nobody in that number group uses this forum. Also lots of people don't pass all the steps. They have a standard of testing about 3x the number of people they need. If they need 100 people for a class coming up they will put through about 300 people. Statistically almost 2/3rds of those people will not pass the process and not be eligible for hire.
 
I understand that many people on the exam list are not on this forum, however, we are being hired as EMT's, not brain surgeons! This lengthy background investigation process and lack of communication from our investigators is very frustrating... Apparently, years of experience and numerous certifications don't matter either....The original job application requires all this info, yet candidates are still skipped over...more than once...
 
Is there shift pay differencial for 3pm-11pm and 11pm-7am shifts?
 
Durring the investigation process if they decide they don't want you do they let you know that?
 
They have shift differential in the field but you do not get it in the academy.

I see it on my check but don't know what the actual rate is.

It's 10%. You won't get the differential from 1500-2300 for the whole shift. You would get it from about 1800-2300. 2300-0700 would get it for the whole shift.

Agree , I did everything and haven't heard from my investigator since Nov and judging from the forum it would be a waste of time if I call them as they tell you nothing. The least they can do is give you a heads up on what's the problem with your paperwork instead of just wait for a call.

Or hell tell me that I'm not consider for FDNY and to move on. I can see why your pissed cause my number 55x and I'm hearing people in the 590 getting calls and this anger me cause I could have been a 911 operator for nypd and now the job is gone.
 
So I'm guessing that this class is all but book and I shouldn't expect anything this week?
