Interviewed May 2012 (took a day)
I applied online, after that i had setup my appointment. I was selected to go at 6 am. When you get there the HR manager came and took me and several others to a room. Then she started explaining what the job requires out of the worker, the pay, the benefits and then she showed us the facility and how everything worked. After the tour we went back to the room, and then she started to take us in for an interview.

Interviewed Jul 2010 in Portland, OR (took a day)
They take you on a tour to show you how physical the job can be then they do one on one interviews with everyone. Basically you want to tell them that you would like to work there forever and that you love physical labor (do NOT say you only want to work there for a couple of years or so or that you have and physical injuries). The Swan Island hub does not drug test and there are many people there who have criminal history's. I have heard that some UPS Hubs will drug test.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Phoenix, AZ (took a day)
I filled out the application, was sent an email to come to a group tour of the facility (which was not the facility I ended up working at) at the end of the tour we had a 1:1 interview. After the interview, if we were considered potential employees they did a background check, when the background check came back they offered me the job. I started the following Tuesday.

Interviewed Jun 2010 (took 1 week)
First off, you have to apply online. expect to take at least 1.5 - 2 hrs on the application. If you apply to a big hub, they will usually give you an interview and a tour of the facility, but don't get too happy, that doesn't mean you're getting the job. The H.R. personnel will then take everyone in to a meeting room to kind of talk amongst yourselves while he/she pulls one person at a time into his/her office for a 1:1 interview. That will conclude the first day.
If they want to hire you, they will call you back. Then you'll have a week of training and go over rules and safety regulations. It's extremely tedious, but you get paid. UPS is BIG into safety and you will have to take quizzes over the videos and material you cover, so pay close attention. You cannot start work until you have passed all quizzes and tests. Keep in mind that the videos are NOTHING like loading/unloading in the trailers. The videos make it seem easy and clean... The videos are from the truth.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
UPS starts everyone (PT package handlers) at the same hourly wage, which is $8.50 per hour. All UPS employees start on a probationary period for 90 days, then are given a $0.50 raise and are fully considered part time employees. You receive the same benefits as full-time drivers if you stay employed with them for one year. You will receive these benefits over the time period of one year (every 3-4 mths if I remember correctly). If you don't put in a minimum of one year with UPS, you are considered non-rehirable (that is, if you decide to leave).
