I would really appreciate some feedback and help cause I am feeling concerned and went from happy to bumming bad.
Monday at 6AM about 10 of us had a tour and then got appointments for interviews after someone asked us "are you in school, what are your hours, have you had a job before, can you do the requirements".
Anyway I felt i could get this Seasonal job easily but one kid there around my age is chatting up everyone that works there and is like my biggest threat. Anyway Today Wednesday is my appointment at 6:10AM, theres a kid before me and mister chatty Kathy is after me.
My interview was good at first, but he asked to talk about myself and all I said was I was a college student at a CC literally down the road and was gonna transfer to a 4 year university after my lower division to become a doctor then i froze and said "what would you like to know" and he was like there's no UPS in that city where you wanna transfer and I told him "no I would commute to school and stay living here and working here, I live right near by" and he was like oh okay. Asked if I had a labor job before, told him I worked on a paintball field as a ref and had to lift those huge CO2 tanks and run and hike all day from dawn till dusk and he was like "yeah calling people out lol" Asked if I could be on time and early and always reliable told him yes, I showed up very early to both my appointments this week and it was no problem I am a morning person. I have work boots and will wear them at all times I told him. Do I have reliable transportation? yes.
I put on my application online (they had 4 different shifts) I was available the morning 3AM shift which is what they are hiring for anyway, and the evening shift and he asked me about it and I told him no that was a mistake I will still have classes at those times and then he said oh okay, since you cant make that evening shift we do have the driver helper positions. He asked would I be interested in that and I told him
"yes I would if the package handler position is unavalibale" but really I didnt because I heard its really hard, you have to have the uniform, and your gonna get fired no matter what atleast with package handler he looks to see who he keeps after seasonal. But i want some work experience and told him that and I saw him write down "Driver helper if everythings unavailable" I just hope I dont get picked for this position ugh. Then asked if i had questions for him and I asked "what are you looking for from your employees that would make them get this position/job, in me" and he went on to explain for a while all the diff types of people working here and he doesnt want robots, people that work well with other people, giving 120%, taking initiative, early and on time workers. He asked if I had anything else and I said no, shook his hand said have a nice day then chatty Kathy was up for his interview.
The whole interview lasted, I am gonna be generous here and say 15 minutes but it was probably less. He didnt mention he would call me back or let me know anything, and I stupidly didnt ask for his phone number. This guy didnt look like HR, the people who gave me the appointment looked like HR this dude looked like a supervisor who did the hiring and firing. Oh also the day before the girl who gave my appointment reminded me of my interview and asked for my BDAY and social to run a background check on me over the phone so i gave her that.
Also some people at the 8 person tour actually wanted to be a driver helper more then a package handler so maybe they will get it
Anyone wanna tell me what my chances are here of getting employeed for seasonal? heh I am really bumming right now because I thought of better stuff to say when he asked to talk about me I could have said "I am a hard worker, not afraid to get dirty and get the job done" ugh I am really bumming, can someone shed some light on my chances here. Should I expect a call?
