for a Package Handler position. Just wanted to know the "ins and outs" of the interview process, position, requirements, etc.
I am a recent college graduate. As everyone knows, we are on hard times financially as a country. I thought maybe this position could open up doors in the future, given that I have a college degree. My major was Logistics and Transporation from one of the top five Logistics programs in the country. I was just inquiring to see how fast UPS promotes with college grads.
I have done grueling work in the past, as I have performed all frontline jobs at Pepsi, Warehouse Loader, Bay Delivery, Merchandiser. Trust me, its not easy. Rain, Snow, Sleet, 100 degree weather, Pepsi had to be in that store not matter what. For example, Each flat of (24)20 oz weighs 35 lbs. Needless to say, I am not worried about the workload.
I have had interviews at Norfolk Southern, UPS Freight, APL Logistics...but nothing has turned up. So, I figured the package handler position could either get me a foot in the door at UPS or at least kill time until I find a full time job. I just wanted some insight from those in the know, who might know about college grads and the possibilities of promotion.
BTW, I already passed the MAPP test when I was in the interview process with UPS Freight. Basic questions, pretty much just to ensure you're not retarded.
