[QUOTE="iloadthetruck, post: 95316, member: 885"] The "promotion" process at UPS is bs. I can't tell you how ridiculous I find the whole procedure. Even the most highly qualified candidates have to take tedious little tests and do stupid "activities" to "prove" their worth. I personally find it offensive that someone who puts themselves through four years of college, or more, has their entire hiring/promotion decision boiled down to an exam! For my position, which I got just a few months out of college, I had to take a typing test! Oh, that irked me, because again, at UPS, it's not about the "soft skills" or your accomplishments, but the hard numbers. Never mind my 3+ years interning for an IT company, I guess I needed to have numeric "proof" that I was a good typist. Anyway, rwhite, if you think you are qualified, apply for that job. If it's your current manager telling you not to apply there may be a reason he or she is trying to get you to stay under them. And if that is the issue, see if you can go around them, but do it carefully! If it's an issue of qualifications, make sure you've got the alternative proficiencies that would substitute for an accounting degree. [/QUOTE]
