Has anyone here worked for the MTA? I've always wondered what that's like, I imagine it's very competitive...

It's definitely competitive and people stay a long time, especially because it's a union job. What I've heard is that they are persistently under-staffed though and I think that they have a ton of bureaucratic BS that you have to deal with, like any other public org

Hi,
I have completed my Diploma in Mechanical Engineering.
I do have experience of working in Human Resources.
I am currently pursuing BBA so i can match my education with the career. I have also completed course of Human Resources Management from University of Minnesota.

If any job opportunities for me please let me know.

I've done so well in this new role within the company that they are hiring another person to assist with what I do. I've voiced to my boss that I'd like to manage this department and they indicated that this is the thought for the future. Now they are asking me to train this person while I have my plate full. Is it wrong for me to expect either a promotion or to be paid to train this person?

Hi,
My current company is going out of business next week. I am rushing to get my next job lined up (probably won’t happen in time but I’m trying my best). My question is: should I be honest about why I’m looking for a new job? Is it wrong to not share this info during my interviews? Is this situation going to affect my interview process somehow? Please share your thoughts and wisdom! Thanks!
