[QUOTE="toonertoo, post: 621559, member: 1944"] I dont know where to start. First of all congrats on 7 wonderful children, 2nd and then Ups doesnt care that you have 7 children. They only care that you show up. From my perspective as a single mother of only 2, the part time job worked great. I am thankful for unanswered prayers I did not go full time until they were in high school. It would have been a nightmare, and the guilt would have killed me, not to mention with the part time position, I was able to make a decent wage, for that time 1984-1992 and make most events. 3rd I would take whatever I could get to get the flavor. If you take the seasonal helper, and you are good and let them know that you have interest in becoming permanent pt, they will keep you in mind. Especially if you make an impression on the drivers who will keep you in mind. 4th when I was interviewed I was told, "we dont want a call that you cant make it in because of child care, sick kids whatever, we need dependability" So today that would be a violation of some eeoc rule, but then there wasnt one I was aware of. You should be proud to have such a large wonderful family, but if asked that question which you shouldnt be asked as they dont ask the men, you tell them "I am planning to enter the workforce and all the details of child care have been addressed. Period. And in my vast experience at UPS there are as many men who call off when kids are sick as there are women. Just thought I would add that. 5th It does not matter what shape you are in. Unless grossly overweight, and you weigh what I do, which is a little high, but I can still tear up the younger guys in endurance, I ve been around longer:smart: The shape you think you are in is irrelevant. Ive seen Hulk Hogan looking guys cry by the end of a day. And quit. And little twig guys and girls eat it up and love it. You will hurt where you didnt know you had places, and then the alarm will go off and you will want to cry, but you do it again for your family. so weigh the pros and cons, and let us know how it goes.
