I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at UPS (Latham, NY) in Oct 2011
Interview
You first join UPS's career site and answer everything
(This is UPS's version of a resume - i saw a UPS video with with someone from HQ person saying that UPS does not take resumes and their career site is their version of a resume - i do not know if this is true for the higher positions.)
Once you do the online forms on their career site, at the end of it, you will auto schedule a interview. My interview was a quick 1:1. This is not what i would call a interview at all. All it was was to confirm what you said online was true. Once done, you are told that you need to go to a 2 or 3 hr (paid ) training whenever they tell you (My training day is Nov 1, i applied last nigh) . If you show up, you get the job, its as simple as that.
This is a SEASONAL JOB - November to December. However, from the person i interviewed, i was given the impression that one COULD be given another job at UPS. I have yet to even get training so i cannot say if its true or not.
Smooth and very easy to pass. Just speak and they will tell you what they have for you. You have nothing to be worried about. Just be ready to answer the phone.
Easy and quick, no problems at all I went straight through to the orrientation and that only took a few hours so thats pretty good you know I enjoyed the process
Phone with a supervisor. Super convenient and super easy. Affable man with tons of experience. Couldn't be happier. Later went in for an in person interview and to pick up gear.
