[QUOTE="AJ.D, post: 2674928, member: 66612"] Hi Everyone.... So I just wanted to thank all of you in advance for taking the time to at least read this. I am in a situation where I need some advice and I am having a hard time finding the right person in my center to go to to get an answer without going in circles. My question is in regards to moving up the ladder considerably... looking towards a corporate position and I am willing to relocate to GA to do so. I'll provide some background information here just to help and set a background for anyone that can help. Again, I am greatly appreciable for all of the help that anyone provide, so thank you in advance. I am 31 years old and live in Chicago. I am actually a physician, yes a physician.... I completed medical school but decided not to do a residency and then went back to finish a Master's degree and an MBA in Finance and Health Care Administration. After the Obamacare change up, I have lost my job and that led me to working for UPS just recently. I decided to be a seasonal driver helper and ended up having an awesome driver that explained a lot of things to me about the company and really just showed me this opportunity that I never would have considered. At the beginning of this month, I had gotten a phone call to become a part-time loader and took the opportunity. One of my first questions was in regards to me being able to get my foot in the door and having the ability to move up the ladder and into different departments. I was told that after a 30 day period, I would be able to apply to any job on the UPSers area. However, after that initial information, I have not gotten any other answer to other questions that I had. I am looking to move up as quick as I can and as far as I can. I have plenty of experience in the corporate setting dealing with numbers, hedging oil and other commodities versus transportation budgets to cap potential losses, managing a team and working with others to name a few. I am willing to move anywhere in the country, and am also willing to take any temporary training that is necessary to reach this goal of mine. My questions are in regards to this: 1. Is this something that is actually feasible or no? 2. What are some things that I can do to improve my chances of making this happen? 3. What is the best way to reach some of the positions that I am looking for and is there anything I can do to help me advance faster? Thank you again. I really appreciate all of the advice! [/QUOTE]
