Greetings guys and gals.......I recently applied for a full time drivers position in Harvey (La). I now have an interview set up and I'm trying to figure out if this position is for me.
I'm a former Marine with 19 years of law enforcement experience. For the past three year I have worked overseas as a security contractor with Blackwater USA. If you follow the national news, Blackwater is on the front pages the last few days in Iraq.
I love my job with BW, however I'm 43 with a wife and three kids. The family has made it clear they want me to stay home and not return overseas. I respect that and want to find something to keep me home as far as a job in concerned.
I can always go back to being a law enforcement officer or even going back overseas. I'm leaning on trying to get the position with UPS.
I'm very confused about how UPS works as far as hiring full time drivers. I read that I'd have to be part time and work into a full time position. The job I applied for says full time and that is what I would seek. I don't want to take a full time "temporary" position and get laid off.
Can someone please explain what I'm facing? I plan on going to the interview, but I was hoping you guys and gals could shed some light.
Thanks in advance...
