UPS Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – I completed an online job application on Sunday and received a phone call the very next day from their Talent Acquisition person. This call provided salary, training and benefits information as well as a brief overview of the job requirements. I also scheduled a telephone interview for two days later with the same person. That call basically restated the same information covered in the online posting as well as the earlier phone call. I was then asked to complete an online Sales Career Battery assessment within 72 hours of the telephone interview. This assessment was timed and limited to no longer than 1 hour and 15 minutes. I completed it well within the time restriction given shortly after the telephone interview. The next day I was called by their local HR person and asked to come in on Friday for an in-person ISR panel interview to be conducted by the HR person as well as the hiring manager. That process began with a very formal question and answer period, where I was given a copy of the questions to be asked. I was also given a notepad and pencil to jot down my thoughts prior to answering. The formal questions were broken out into four separate sheets covering a wide range of sales-type questions. The interview concluded with a less formal question and answer period that focused more on my individual personality traits and how they could be an asset to the position.

Reason for Declining – At the panel interview, I learned that this position is primarily prospecting via telephone within a given assigned territory to acquire more customers. While I understood this was part of the job description, I thought the job would be more varied and that the primary focus would be to grow the business through existing customers. I also was very fortunate to interview with a number of other prospective employers that same week. A few days later I received a formal offer from a different company offering a much better salary ($15,000 more a year) in an industry that is better suited to my professional background.

Interview Details – It was like most interviewing process. Honestly just be yourself and know what you are applying for.

Interview Details – It was a very simple job interview. I went in and they asked me basically when I could work then took my finger prints and called me back about when to report

Reason for Declining – couldn't work it out with school and other job

Interview Details – The interview process was very straight forward. All applicants gathered at a UPS facility and listened to an HR representative describe the jobs duties. After a 30 minute description of the work, each candidate was interviewed individually. The interview was very brief.

Reason for Declining – For personal reasons.

Interview Details – Group interviews, don't really single anyone out, only really care of you have a record.

Interview Details – I first received a phone call asking me a few normal prescreening phone calls. Why I chose UPS. What sales experience do I have and if I was willing to relocate. Afterward I was instructed to take a quick (45min) screen exam online. It was to test see how you would deal with customers and what you do in different situations. After I finished the test I was called a couple days later and scheduled a web cam/panel interview. The interview consisted of the normal "describe a time when..." questions. 1) When you didn't get along with a coworker and how did you deal with the situation. 2) When a customer was not happy with a product you sold them and how did you deal with it...and so on.

Negotiation Details – Inside Sales Rep position is an entry level position so there is not much room for negotiation regarding your salary. They trust you enough to pay you a pretty good salary (35k) and then offer you commission based on new sales and stealing competitors business.

Interview Details – Super quick and informal, but lots of requirements

Negotiation Details – No negotiations...this is the hourly rate, do you want the job?

Interview Details – Applied online and got an appointment time instantly. Showed up with about 20-25 other applicants in a room and an HR rep gave us breakdown of the job. Then after I met individually with an HR rep to give them my social security # for a background check to be performed. No real interview, unless you have questions for them. Got a call that night after background check passed and set up orientation time for next day where you watch a video, hear more about the job, and get your uniform.

Negotiation Details – N/A. Pay was fixed at $8.50, but overtime (time and a half) is available.

Interview Details – Fill out the application on the UPSJobs.com website, show up for the orientation with a positive attitude, and you will be hired. You just have to want to job. Oh and must have a clean background check.
