[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 318983, member: 9789"] I had an operation that had 35 supervisors. I hired at least 40 in a 5 year span. I probably interviewed around 200 candidates. I was looking for 5-6 months minimum belt experience and going through a peak season if possible. Again - you want to be successful and you need to understand the job. In California - because of the lawsuit, the supervisors are paid a salary based on 27.5 hours of pay. The salary is adjusted based on an hourly rate if the supervisor works over the fixed amount of hours. There is a formula that is similar to the way Teamsters get paid for OT with a slight variation. Each district has a standard base salary you start at based on your position. After that, your raises are determined by performance, experience, education and amount of responsibility. If there is a pool of candidates, your time frame will be where the interviewer - usually the manager of the operation has ranked you in relation to the other candidates. You could be top on the list and someone new gets interviewed and does better than you. Don't get your feelings hurt if you are not the top person, just keep plugging away to improve your overall skill set. Your Manager and FT supervisor play an extremely important role in your development. If they have little training skill you are on your own. If they are good trainers than you will have an edge up on the rest of the field. The same can be said about you as a supervisor also. Remember where you came from and show humility and respect for the folks you work with. I personally think that being a PT supervisor is one of the best things you can have (besides education) on a resume, especially if you are not going to stay with UPS. If you are going to stay with UPS make sure you become a driver. You should drive at least 2 years before considering FT mgmt. Most drivers qualify your experience by how long you drove for. I drove for over 5 years on every type of route we have. [/QUOTE]
