[QUOTE="planetkendra, post: 130284, member: 6903"] Hello! I'm new to this forum. I applied for a Seasonal Driver Helper position. I was surprised that the entire process (from application to tax forms to scheduling the interview) was done automatically online. I have an interview date in a few weeks and since everything was done via computer, I have no one to ask questions of. That's where this board comes in. After reading a lot of your posts, I'm thinking it's best that I ask stuff on here anyway. I'd rather have brutal honesty than have info glossed over by an HR person. But I read a lot of posts on here and couldn't find the answers to a few questions: FIRST QUESTION: The online interview scheduling page said that I am to show up at the interview wearing jeans and sturdy shoes and expect to be there for 60 - 90 minutes. Um, that was kind of vague. Am I going to be doing lifting tests or timed drills or is the request for attire because of the UPS locations (i.e., is there a tour of the facility or something). SECOND QUESTION: Is the DOT physical required for seasonal Driver Helpers too? I don't have anything to hide, but I was just wondering. Seems kind of silly to go through all of that for a job that will only last a month or so. THIRD QUESTION: The website says nothing about pay rate or specific hours, so I'm assuming I'll be filled in on that during the interview. However, the site says drivers work from 8am to 8pm. Do drivers really work 12 hour days? (wow) and are Driver Helpers along that whole time? Are Driver Helpers on call or given a schedule at the start of a week? From reading this board, I strongly get the idea that if I get this job, I'd better move my arse double time and be prepared to work hard. Much thanks in advance for any responses. [/QUOTE]
