[QUOTE="Paul_Allen, post: 249347, member: 11865"] After lurking the forums for the past couple weeks i have learned a lot. glad to see experienced employees sharing their knowledge and hopefully you will be able to give me a bit of advice. Just to give you some background on myself: I started working at UPS Sept 2002 and later joined the Air Force in 2003. UPS held my position for the past 4.5 years while I finished my service obligation in the military. I worked as a munitions systems technician while in the military and gained experience, training, and education in the following areas --------------- -Safety representative for up to 65 personnel -Facility Manager of 138 facilities valued over $250 million -HAZMAT Manager -Hazardous Communication trainer -Equipment Custodian -Resource Adviser -Fuel Tank Custodian -Supervised crews of up to 12 workers performing munitions operations -4.5 years forklift experience -A.A. Management Studies from UMUC -A.A.S. Munitions Systems Technology from CCAF I will be finishing up my B.S. in Environmental Science starting this winter term (should take around a year to complete) and would like to pursue a career at UPS in a industrial hygiene, safety , or hazmat related field. ---------------- So i talked to HR today about coming back to work and the HR rep seemed to be not all with it. I mentioned my training and really didn't get much of a response from him. He just kind of referred to the MAPP program which he couldn't explain and then set up a date next week to start retraining me as a loader:confused1. So i figure i will get trained for the next week to do a job that i wont be doing for more then a couple weeks.:thumbup1: I currently have a little over five years seniority and they implemented all my raises along with it. Finally i will get to my question; if you were in my situation what steps would you take to advance in position at UPS? specifically what opportunities should i be looking for and as a PT worker are there any voluntary meeting i can attend in order to gain a better insight in the operations of the company? Any input is appreciated and thanks for taking the time to read this post. -Paul [/QUOTE]
