[QUOTE="RockyRogue, post: 235276, member: 7185"] I'd say closer to 4 hours is the average shift. And no, you won't work 4-9 five days a week. That 4:00 start is for Peak Season for the most part. I'm guessing you're applying for a HUB operation. Most of these Twilight shifts start around 5:30, with staggered start times depending on where you work in the operation. Inbounds will probably start at 5:30 and be done at 9:15 or 9:30. Outbounds will probably start at 5:40 or so and be done around 10 or 10:15. The 10:15 time may be generous, again depending on your work area. Not trying to scare you off but I've seen outbound belts cutting their last hourly employee at 11:45. I was the 3rd to last employee left (emergency help after an a**-kicking) and I was cut at 11:35. THAT was a long day since I'd started at 4:30 doing other stuff in the HUB. Wouldn't worry too much about these dates. The week in November could be a problem, however. When I was hired by UPS the first time, I had a wedding around Thanksgiving. I told the HR guy that I really needed to know if I had a job so I could book my flights. He asked for a week. I got a call two weeks later. I booked something after I'd started and spoken to my friend/t supe. And contrary to some--including my own--posts there are actually many decent operations supes. I make it a point to have a good working relationship with my supes. It paid off handsomely the other day when my boss modified my schedule to accomodate school. Also, another piece of advice if you're looking for it: find an HR rep as a "go-to" guy. In my experience HR has been like a switchboard as far as getting information quickly.
