[QUOTE="GroundGame, post: 3138388, member: 65188"] It all really depends on a-lot of factors. 1) Are you good? 2) Does your center manager have someone in the mix they already like? 3) Is the internal pool (union PT package handlers) strong or weak? There are so many factors that go into it. I'm 34 and left FedEx after 10 years last Oct. for the [U]opportunity [/U]to be brought on after peak and missed being offered a full-time qualifying chance by 1 person. So of the 30ish seasonals I was the #2 guy. Adios and come back in the summer or throw packages and sign the bid sheet. The guy that was offered was a prior full time Teamster driver who left for whatever reasons and knew the center manager. When they offered him the job, he refused because he heard working Saturdays was coming. Their loss. I came back in June and just qualified. One of the proudest moments as an adult I have ever had. If it is something you REALLY want and you have the acumen and ability to do a good job and be an employee they want, you WILL get hired in off the street at some point. When you have doubt and worry about the process, and trust me....YOU WILL, do what my On Road Supervisor always told me. Envision what your 20-30 year qualified older self would be saying to you for sticking it out. Hope it helps. Best of luck. Learn as much as you can and you will do fine. [/QUOTE]
