[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1124901, member: 43436"] If you've completed two interviews and you've maintained interest in the job, almost undoubtedly you'll be offered employment. That you lack job experience will not hurt you - UPS is a first job for many people, myself included. You may be called into the job next week, or it may be several weeks from now. As this is a high turnover job, UPS traditionally continues to hire well into the summer. As you've completed the application process now, you should be near the top of the queue. As far as seasonal... seasonal dates vary by area, but almost universally end after Labor Day. If you've worked hard and done the job well, you'll be kept. In some buildings you may work without interruption, in others you'll wait until the Holiday (called "peak") season, which begins in late October/early November. Quite honestly, UPS gets so desperate, it takes ANYBODY who wants the job ... so even if they didn't really want you, you'll be offered a job -- unless you have significant attendance issues, severe performance issues, etc. Note that for many new hires, it's common to be laid off/"on call" in September & October, and then again from late January-April. This can continue for several years... for example, in 2012, my building had guys who'd been here for 5 years not working in February-April. However, in 2013, we've increased staffing and thus guys hired just six months ago worked without interruption. It's a very YMMV thing. [/QUOTE]
