[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 246986, member: 9789"] You have already made your mind up.... I never took anyone with less than 6 months experience into supervision. You will be supervising people when you barely know the job yourself!! You will challenged & tested every step of the way and will have MUCH difficulty gaining anyone's respect that has more time in than you. Also your self confidence will drop quickly with every wrong decision you make. Everything will be downhill after that. The reason I am saying this is ...it sounds like the operation is desperate. That means they won't have time to train you properly. You will eventually leave UPS with a VERY bad taste in your mouth. If you wait just till peak is over - you stand a much better chance of being successful. You will gain knowledge at "learning the ropes" and be able to make better decisions. Your co-workers will have a greater respect for you because you proved yourself during peak. When you leave in 2 years you will have real supervisor experience besides just the "writing" on the resume. Sorry to sound negative but I tell it like it is and I want you to be successful! If nothing else...make sure you are trained properly to do your job! DO YOURSELF AND YOUR CO-WORKERS A FAVOR AND WAIT!!! [/QUOTE]
