I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at UPS (Maspeth, NY) in Oct 2008
Interview
Was put in a room with about 20 other individuals to discuss the job and how to use the equipment. Was then given uniforms the same day and told to call in the morning to know where to meet the driver.
Smooth and very easy to pass. Just speak and they will tell you what they have for you. You have nothing to be worried about. Just be ready to answer the phone.
Easy and quick, no problems at all I went straight through to the orrientation and that only took a few hours so thats pretty good you know I enjoyed the process
Phone with a supervisor. Super convenient and super easy. Affable man with tons of experience. Couldn't be happier. Later went in for an in person interview and to pick up gear.
