[QUOTE="Magnus, post: 746926, member: 22193"] Brando, I'm curious, which center did you interview at? If I'm not mistaken, it was the Riverside California hub? (Apologies if I'm mistaken but I think I might have met you there last Thursday). But anyway, the reason why the rest of them were wearing casual clothing (i.e. jeans/slacks and T-shirts) is because that is what the appointment guidelines of the Tour/Interview stipulated, because UPS is a very dirty and even dangerous facility and, for example, in event of an accident the jeans/slacks offer more protection than shorts or spandex (just for a hypothetical). Besides that, not too many people would be happy if their expensive work-wear got destroyed or stained by said environment, and ALSO because that is exactly what you will be wearing to work: jeans and a T-shirt. And yes, what you are experiencing is absolutely typical of UPS. They (management) do not think it important to keep an open line of communication with their potential and even current employees alike, they do not give you any contact information (on purpose, so that they can't be pestered to death in phone calls by every applicant all day long), and they also believe it's just A-OK to keep potential hires, and even hired people not being put to work, on stand-still for weeks or months at a time without so much as a status report of any kind. It's a waiting "cat and mouse" game with yourself and management - and that never really goes away. Basically, if they need you, they will call you - if they don't, they won't. That's just how it is and I speak from two consecutive Peak Seasons of playing this game with them. [/QUOTE]
