Like everything at UPS, this seems unnecessarily difficult. I'm currently a seasonal package delivery driver (not a PVD.) Looking to stay on and apply for a job after my seasonal stint ends. I've actually found a job I wanted through the public job search, but of course I cannot actually apply for it since I'm considered an employee, which is ridiculous. Not sure why there would be 2 separate job searches. Only thing I could find job search wise was a job search under the workday tab in the HR section. All it shows is jobs in canada for some reason, even though I'm in the USA. I also got a notification when I tried to apply that there was a "my life and career" section, which I cannot find in the UPSers site. There does not seem to be a section in my profile anywhere, or if it is I can't find it. HELP!
While "check your local supplement" may apply here, if you are an employee you just can't apply for a job you want. As stupid as that sounds, it's the way it is.
Basically, the sequence is part-timer, pkg driver(whatever that means) and then feeder driver.....exceptions are there but rare. That's it.
Once a mechanic always a mechanic and so on. A mechanic cannot be a driver on and on. Ridiculous? You bet.
You could quit and reapply. This could have many consequences. A visit with your Mgr. and the Union at the very least.
With no malice or ill intent, being a seasonal driver may have ruined your chances at that job you wanted.
On the other hand, mgt. allows for a huge amount of variety and possibilities.
On the other hand, maybe another transportation company has better career choices. You have nothing to lose there.
I truly wish you luck.
