[QUOTE="jibbs, post: 1216464"] If you had just used the winkie faces in the first place this all could've been avoided.... :wink2: What were all the positions that were open when you applied? Was it just the seasonal driver helper and seasonal package handler positions? If it were those two then, obviously, those are the two you're likely to get.... driver helping is pretty standard all across the board, but package handling isn't just loading and unloading-- small sort might be your thing if you don't think you could keep up with other loaders and/or unloaders, but I'm unsure (and kind of doubt) that you'd be able to pick that position at the interview. Truthfully, I think you'd be more in the running for a driver helper position if anything, but hey, (and I'm assuming you fit this mold here) short, lightweight people are all over the preload in my center. A good 75% of them can handle the job and are willing, with the other 25% either not being able to keep up or lack the motivation to keep up with the workflow. You may think you can't handle it and then completely surprise yourself when you get thrown in the mix. [EDIT: I'd also like to add that I would think a seasonal package handler would have more of a chance at becoming a permanent employee after peak season than a seasonal driver helper would, but that's pure speculation on my part.] [/QUOTE]
