[QUOTE="freeloader, post: 318952, member: 12163"] Lifer: Yes there certainly is. And for the most part I have no regrets for all the years I worked at UPS. Just about all of the interviews I had while in the promotion pool was for various IE positions (which were not related to my degree). I was encouraged by my management team to try to fit the mold and be a yes man for the interviews and accept the position right away if it was offered to me. If the position was offered to me and I didn't accept, I would be black listed (as you mentioned). I saw many issues with this, mainly being unfair to me as well as deceptive to the interviewer. I was not sure if there was some number that my management team was trying to meet for employee development, but something just didn't seem right. After all, it was my career on the line, not theirs. So I went to every interview my management team suggested and I took the honest route. I didn't try to fit the mold or tell the interviewer what he wanted to hear. If the job was right for me, then the right things would happen. If it didn't it, no worries. At the very least I got some very good interview practice. [/QUOTE]
