Interview Details I applied through their website and got a call within a week which was just a screening. Another week later I got called again to setup a time for a phone interview with a hiring manager. That happened and went very well, answered all their questions (simple html, java, and sql questions) and the hiring manager openly told me he liked me. Spoke with another hiring manager and very similar experience. Didn't get an offer though (guessing its because of my low gpa).
Interview Question –
How do you create a link in html?
Explain inheritance in java.

Interview Details
The hiring process was kind of generic. You responded to an ad in the paper or applied on the website. They had an automatic scheduler for mass interviews.... the presenter gave you a quick crash course on the company and position w/ a tour.
You will be in a large group with a bunch of other unsuspecting fools that will think they are getting the whole picture. You'll get a start date, but not a date when you will actually start making money. If they make you an offer... take my advice and just run the other way as fast as you can!
Interview Question – When can you start? They'd hire anyone that had a heart beat, as long as they could work like a slave. ...Your most difficult question will be the one where you decide to commit yourself to slave labor. View Answer
Negotiation Details – Not a professional position... you're getting paid less than someone who works in fast food. No negotiations.
No Offer – Interviewed in Oakland, CA (US) Nov 2012 – Reviewed Mar 20, 2013
Interview Details Right before the holidays I applied for seasonal help online in my area. After completing the online application, options appeared to schedule a interview. It was approximately 2 weeks from the date completed online. Upon arriving we were sent through the guard station at the entrance to sign in. We then walked through the facilities into a meeting room. There we were briefed on the job requirements and expectations. Asked a few questions then called into a private office with management personnel for a interview. The interview lasted about 10 to 20 minutes. The person interviewing me was very professional, young, and somewhat cordial. They seemed welcoming and approachable yet held a high standard for performance. I was very interested in the job, but never did receive any type of reply thereafter. I was somewhat disappointed. Perhaps I will call and inquire why I did not receive any response after my interview.
Interview Question – Maybe when was the last time you worked? Why has there been a gap in my employment ? I think maybe it was my age and gender. Where there were younger people who were more agile than myself. I personally am concerned about my background check and credit rating. Not that I have any felonies, but am in the process of clearing off a few minor misdemeanors. or Answer Question

Interview Details First I applied online then a few weeks later I received an email stating that I was invited to an interview. I showed up and there were about 8 other applicants in a room and the HR rep gave a breakdown of the job. Next the HR rep met with each applicant individually. When I met with the rep she asked for my social security number and a few questions to confirm the information on the application was correct. After the interview I received a call about a hour later telling me when to come in for orientation.

Interview Details Essentially you are hired in as an hourly employee. From there on you are watched and evaluated based on your performance.

Interview Details Came in for a building tour and then one interview. Focus of interview was concerning reliable transportation and whether I could commit to at least one full year. This was for a package handler. Got the job which basically anyone will that's not a total fool and then put in letter for supervision 3 months later. Took a simple test on a computer where you rated yourself and responded to scenarios via multiple choice. Anyone with a brain will pass because you just rate yourself the highest and choose the obvious correct answer. There was no interview after that and was promoted 2 weeks later.
Interview Question – There were no difficult questions. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – No negotiation. For a PT job, the compensation and benefits are very good and all new PT sups get higher stRting salaries than past sups. UPS adjusts for inflation for starting salary but screws existing sups out of raises and gives them jokes of raises. It's not surprising if a new PT sup earns more than one that has been there for 3 years.
