I have some interview/tour questions I was hoping someone could help me out within the next day as I have my interview on Wednesday.
I am applying as a permanent part time package handler with the goal of becoming a driver. I have talked to myself or had family members talk with local drivers that we have daily contact with and I have heard a lot of positive information. From what I am hearing, in my area it is a 2-3 years wait to become driver. My girlfriend and I are looking at settling down within the next 5 years and I feel like this is a very good option for me as I have ruled out going back to school for the most part. I will look into UPS tuition reimbursement a little more if I get in the door.
I want to make a good impression when I go on the tour but I don't want to push too hard. Do I emphasize to HR that I am here to one day become a driver or do I just casually mention it? What else can I do to show them that I want to be here and that I want this job? I am not fully banking on this job as my lifelong career but I would like to give it a shot as I think I will like it and I know it pays well and would be good for my(future) family.
I have read around a little bit about the interview/tour and I should just be wearing jeans/khakis and a polo/button down. I don't have any boots yet and the only shoes that I have that aren't tennis shoes, are a pair of wingtips:
Too fancy for jeans and a polo or should I go out and buy some boots that I will be working in? Lastly, is there anything else I should know? From what I have read up about it is a pretty basic interview and it is a pretty basic job. Sorry for all the questions and words, I am probably over thinking this too much. I look forward to the career opportunities down the road and would like to at least get my foot in the door to see what everything is about. Thanks!
