Part Time Package Handler at UPS

Interview Details
How it went for my facility?
There was no interview. I had applied while peak season was underway.
Lots of people who applied during peak season were accepted, and quite a few still remain.
Upon being shown the facility, the HR department decide if you are to be called back for training. Training consists of book work, videos, discussion, and 1 day of work before you actually begin work. In my honest opinion, I believe that this method of training is sufficient. At least for now.
Interview Question –
There are no questions for me to share, as I was not given an interview.
I was called in for a tour, called back as I have been given a hire date, and then hired.
I do know that one facility in my state required interviews.
Answer Question
Negotiation Details –
For me there was no negotiation phase.
I was merely told what to expect.

Part Time Package Handler at UPS
No Offer – Reviewed Jun 05, 2013 New
Interview Details Was able to schedule an information session after applying initially online through the UPS Careers website. The first info. session was a brief walk through of the facilities as well as a rundown of the expectations of the position. As this is obviously a physical position, they try to give a good indication of the grind associated with the job, and use the first session as a "weeding out" of people that may not want to spend 5-6 hours a day moving and being physical with boxes, etc. The interview was not much of an interview at all, just asking if you understand the hardships associated with it, and say they will call you back if they can find an opening for you.
Interview Question – No difficult questions at all for the initial information session the first time. They ask you about your residence and how much of a commitment you can make per week in terms of hours to this position. The hours are odd sometimes, sometimes starting at 3Am. I chose the afternoon shift. Answer Question

Marketing Specialist at UPS
No Offer – Interviewed in Apr 2013 – Reviewed May 22, 2013
Interview Details The interview process was extremely slow and the communication was sporadic. First I had a phone interview with a recruiter. She asked generic questions that you would be asked on any standard corporate interview. The next step was a apptitude test consisting of multiple choice questions involving your past work history behavior, basic math, etc. I passed this test and the recruiter said the hiring manager would call me very soon. I never heard a single word from UPS again and have since found another job.

PT Supervisor at UPS
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Columbus, OH (US) – Reviewed May 21, 2013
Interview Details There really is no "interview" process for a part time supervisor. Basically if you do your current job well (package handler) you are eligible. At times they focus on only promoting those who are attenting college. There is a computer based assessment that you take. It is not difficult. If you don't pass it, you shouldn't be promoted.
Interview Question – None really. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – Not really a negotiation. I just accepted it.
