[QUOTE="satellitedriver, post: 300906, member: 1664"] I never tire of hearing people trying to improve their lives. I don't know about the listings or how other centers hire around the nation, but this is how I was hired. All hiring done at my center was done through the TWC(Texas Employment Commission, AKA the unemployment office). When I told the person behind the desk I wanted to apply to UPS, she laughed and said she had a waiting list of 600 people wanting to get hired on at UPS. She said I should apply for all available jobs that they had on file in their office. I told her I only wanted to apply to UPS and no one else. I took all the tests required by the commission to see what job skills I had, so they could evaluate what positions I might qualify for. Luckily, I scored high in all five areas of testing. I got a call from them three days later that UPS was interviewing and I was invited. When I got to the TWC office for the interview there were about 100 people standing in line waiting for the same interview. The surprising fact to me was that I was the only one dressed for a job interview. Well groomed, coat and tie ect..., the rest of the crowd, to put it politely, looked like they just left the house to go shopping at WalMart. I think that set me apart from the crowd and showed that I at least put in an honest effort to get the job. I know my story does not answer any of your questions, but I hope it will inspire you to dress well and have a very strong and positive attitude when you get a chance at being interviewed. Best of Luck. P.S. I was the only one that got hired that day. [/QUOTE]
