If anyone has information in the chicago location about possible Internships with I.T staff, TSG at Jeff St. or anywhere in the Chicago area please share this info with me.

I'm currently a pre loader and found myself pretty broad with this job

and can use some extra money.

i only been employed with the company for two years, but I really would like to brake into the I.T world.

any advice or information would help. i'm 22, and working on obtaining my degree in computer network management or I.T and currently studying for A+. and effcient with unix/linux, Microsoft office, web development, installing application software and replace hardware.

(I think you should stick with the pre-loading)

That doesn't help-_- maybe you’re the type who wants to lift boxes for a living, but not me. I'm too young to waste my life living off a 5 hour job. Sorry

Sunshine, I have 3 more college degrees than you currently have so don't lecture me, especially when you don't have the grammar/spelling/writing skills to compete. I work at UPS because I make more and have a better benefit package than I would if I were to have worked in my degree field (business). BTW, there is something to be said for the benefits of honest labor.

Your presentation skills suck. I read what you had posted and basically dismissed you sight unseen based upon your poor grammar and spelling errors. I guarantee that if you submit a letter of interest using the same skill set the letter will be sent to the recycling bin. You need to work on your grammar and spelling. This may sound trivial but if I got the impression that I did just from your post imagine the impression a HR person would get.

Sorry for my rant but my Red Sox are down 0-2 and may be watching the World Series from the comfort of their recliners at home.

I'm terribly sorry if I offended you, but from the name you're in New York, consider your job spared. you puppets have the worst work methods I ever seen.

BTW i written dozens of papers, architect resumes etc. I'm fully aware what goes into a letter. you my friend could have just given me the answer I inquire about, but no you had to display your inorganic for everyone to witness, but it's okay. I understand upper manger transformed you into their personal slave or you get the boot lol, so yeah keep your job. I just need info on I.T

UpstateNYUPSer · 10-10-2009, 06:17 AM

Why didn't you just ask?

There is a forum for IT here on BC.

BTW, I was serious about my advice to you on working on your grammar and spelling. You don't present yourself well and that you could hinder you when it should really benefit you.

leechilds705 · 10-10-2009, 06:32 AM

see your too focused on your job. i can see they programmed you well. free yourself form the politic world of *******s, but you didn't pay attention to my post. if you actually read it you can clearly see I.T is my intention. -.- wow how immature you are and i still didn't get my answer. this is why i said your last comment was irrelevant.

This is almost unfair.

Use of the word "and" to start a sentence is poor grammar. "ignorance's" is not a word and continue should be plural in this context.. lol is not a word. There should be a period after this and "can" should be capitalized.

The ignorance continues. I did not come here for this. Can anyone please assist me with the information that I asked for? Thank you.

Perhaps you should be posting in the "Service Sector" forum.

leechilds705 · 10-10-2009, 07:10 AM

yeah i know

UpstateNYUPSer · 10-10-2009, 07:12 AM

Yes, I know, and thank you for your advice.

Satellite is a well respected member of this forum who does not need to pretend to be anyone else, most certainly not the arrogant fella from up near Canada.

I just find if funny that this kid wants to work on computers yet can put two words together. Funny and sad.

lol. just noting your emphasis on grammar correction. congratulations on your arrogance. hope it serves you as well as mine has.

moreluck · 10-10-2009, 07:24 AM

Upstate .....did you mean can't ??

bbsam · 10-10-2009, 07:25 AM

Putting sentences together and stringing binary code are completely different crafts.

leechilds705 · 10-10-2009, 07:26 AM

You didn't give me the advice i inquire. can you do yourself a favor? it isn't rocket science just scroll back to the top and carefully read. what are you like 67 preforming like a preschooler? i know people in my age group and younger who conduct themselves better then you. there's no wonder why management make themselves look like circus clowns on the job.

are you sure you have a degree? any educated person would understand what I'm seeking and you my puppet friend need to take the stick out of your ass.

i already knew how put words together get a life sir. thanks for pointing that out.

UpstateNYUPSer · 10-10-2009, 08:10 AM

No problem--that's what I am here for.

Now please make sure to keep the fries straight up when you hand me my order at the Mickey D's drive-thru.

leechilds705 · 10-10-2009, 08:19 AM

You mean McDonalds, no thanks I prefer a high paying career. Maybe I'll go work for their corporation after i finish using my current job.

Dave, you missed one. Your Red Sox must really be depressing and distracting you.

Leechilds, I recommend you bring your current education and skill set to the attention of your Human Resources representative. He or she should be the most informed of any such positions you might qualify for in the Chicago area. Perhaps you should consider a transfer to the UPS Worldport facility in Louisville, KY. I've heard there is an extremely generous program in place down there, between UPS and the local college/university. Article 22, section 15 of your Teamster Local 705 contract would apply to such a transfer as an hourly employee.

I don't want to get in between the argument between yourself and Upstate, However, I hate to tell you, Upstate is correct regarding your grammar and spelling. I was a TSG supv about 6 years ago. Being detail oriented, espescially when you are out with our external customers is extremely important. I would be hesitent to hire anyone without basic skills of grammar and spelling. Espescially after it was brought up and they continue to display the same low standards.

As to your question, I don't know about Chicago in particular, but I've seen a lot of reductions in our TSG department. The need of TSG folks is going down, as more work is being done by Tivoli downloads and remote access vs local TSG folks working in the district. I don't agree with all these changes, but they are happening. It may be different in Chicago area.

I suggest you do the following,
1. T/W your supervisor and let him know your desire of entering TSG.
2. Go to www.upsjobs.com to see if any jobs are open in your desired field.
3. Send a letter of intent to the District HR manager
4. See if there's a TSG office in your facility and try to go there during your off hours and try to t/w a TSG supervisor.
5. Don't give up, keep doing the steps above.

Good luck..

But please take Upstate (and my) advice, work on the spelling and grammar.

I can't believe I typed that with a straight face.
