I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at The UPS Store (Irvine, CA) in Jul 2012
Interview
It's usually conducted inside the store. They ask you several questions about what you want to do in the next few years, where you see yourself going, etc. Overall it was a pretty easy interview, just stay focused and use professional language.
Dropped off resume in store, then met with the manager in person where they asked about my experience and availability and then after a few days I had a follow up call with the senior manager.
The interview was engaging and insightful, highlighting my skills, experience, and career goals. It provided an opportunity to discuss my strengths, clarify expectations, demonstrate enthusiasm for the role, and showcase my problem-solving abilities.
Once you offer up your availability that’s the only time you’ll actually be considered highly no matter what low amount of qualifications you may or may not have. Pretty straightforward questions, none of the long term questions just short term goals questions.
