[QUOTE="Box Ox, post: 1799001, member: 48469"] I think a start date at least 2 weeks out from the interview is likely. If they like you at the interview and need somebody now, they'll run a background check for the final OK. And I'm pretty sure the background check is outsourced to some Indian company. They do call your references and ask about your work. Once that process is done I imagine they give UPS a thumbs up or down. Then you get a call from your HR person telling you to come in on whatever day. Orientation was 1 day where I am. Then a sup jumps into load or unload with you for the first few days to train you. There is the possibility that the company might be lining up seasonal candidates early this year in order to do more with less. PT Car Washer could very well be right about being hired as permanent or seasonal from the get-go. Having a history as a good seasonal jumper/helper seems to help your chances of being brought or kept on. Driver feedback to HR seems to be more influential than how well you were buried in packages as a seasonal loader meat piece. I've had fantastic helpers that I'd give enthusiastic thumbs up for if they ever wanted a permanent gig and HR came asking. [/QUOTE]
