I am still waiting to get a chance to fill out the app. UPS is still "checking more work history" since I am a former employee. Anyone with any suggestions or phone numbers to call?

I was a former employee unloading trucks for a summer and the new system let me fully apply. It even asked if I had ever worked for UPS and I answered yes and it let me continue on the process. My only problem was my uploaded resume is all out of format. I uploaded a ".doc" file and when I click on the resume on my UPS profile...it is a ASPX file and it's a bunch of scrambled text? Any suggestions? Thanks!

I uploaded my resume on a pdf file and it worked ok. Adobe will let you convert the doc file to a pdf for free up to five different files.

Good luck!

Thanks for the suggestion. I converted my resume to PDF and uploaded it to my UPS profile. My UPS profile shows that my resume has been uploaded and it shows the name of the file that I named it, however, when I click on my resume file on the UPS job page all that comes up is a blank page? Can someone log into their profile and tell me if their resume comes up when they click on it? Maybe mine is in their system but I just can't pull it up? I don't know?
 
My resume looks just like I saved it when I converted it to a pdf file. Not sure where the problem might be. You might try converting it again from a doc file to a pfd file. I had no problems with the application process.

Just keep trying, you will get it right!
 
I saved my resume as a .doc file, and uploaded just fine. I can open it with no problems at all.
 
Thanks for the help guys. I finally got it to work. It always said and showed that it uploaded fine... I just couldn't open it when I clicked on it. I didn't do anything different...just deleted and re-uploaded a few times and it finally shows up. Does anybody know how much consideration is given in regards to being a former UPS employee? I unloaded trucks for UPS for a summer. It was a long time ago, 17 years ago, but at least I got to check the box on the app that asked if I have previously worked for UPS.
 
SplitBar,

I have no idea how much consideration they give to former UPS employees. I used to work for them when I was in college. I worked part-time for 2 years and then went on military leave. When I left I told my managers that my goal was to come back someday as a pilot. That was 10 years ago... Hopefully they will take former employment into consideration.

Cheers and Good Luck to All,
 
Anybody hear anything back from their interviews yet? I interviewed about three weeks ago and I'm still waiting by the mailbox.

Schmitty,

I don't know if this will help you out or if it still holds true, but when I interviewed last Mar., the folks in my group of six that didn't get the job got a letter within a few days saying so. I waited 4 weeks, 3 days before my poolie letter came. Then I waited another 1.5 months until I got the medical call, then another month before class started. Hopefully, the wait will be good news, and you along with the long-standing poolies will get in class quickly. Good luck to you and let us know when you find out!
 
Diddo to waiting

Hey Schmitty,
I also had to wait 4 or 5 weeks until my pool letter came. It was a long time but it was worth it. Hope we both get out of Mesaba hell soon before we have to go back to being first officers on a Saab! I'll actually be a very junior captain if all the Avros leave.
Been swimming ever since. My breast stroke is so good I'm gonna try out for the Olympic team!

Chris,

Sounds like UPS is gearing up the hiring. Hopefully you will be getting a call soon. I can't wait to do a huge cannon ball into the pool.

If things keep going the way they are at XJ, I will be FO by December. At least I might be able to spend the holidays with the fam. Probably not though. knowing XJ I will be in training on X-mas Day.

Good luck
Schmitty
 
I like the saab. It's the 60% pay cut going from Avro capt to Saab FO that hurts..(possibly Chris)

For me it's only about a 30% cut(SF Capt to SF FO).By DEC all pilots still at XJ will have been line holding Captains previously. On top of that, add the 20% pay cut management is trying to impose through the bankruptcy courts and you have the "Mesaba Hell" that Chris is talking about.

"Hope we both get out of Mesaba hell soon before we have to go back to being first officers on a Saab!

Chris"

I don't think any of us feel like we are to good to fly the Saab. It's more of the fact that we are disappointed in the direction our company has gone.

DANG! All pilots there will have been captains at some point? That sucks! I hear ya....I was just giving him crap. It sucks for you guys. Hopefully things will get better. Good luck with the UPS job....I take it you have not heard anything yet?
 
No problem...thats why I said something. We at XJ are just surprised how far the cuts are coming.

Still no word. Maybe next week.

Take Care

I'm trying to figure a few things out from this thread that you all may be able to help me out with. Are those waiting in the pool implying that if you don't get a "thanks but no thanks" letter in the mail a few days after the interview then there is a good chance you have passed the sim/interview? Has anyone gotten the rejection letter after a long wait or does it come relatively quickly? Can you give me some insight as to when it (rejection letter) should come (hopefully not at all). Thx

MF
 
MF. The no thanks letter will usually be sent out earlier than the pool letter. That is usually the case but not always. So look at it like no news is probably good news. I have also heard of guys getting no thanks letters after 6 weeks and pool letters after a few days so don't bet the farm either way. Good luck!

I tried to fill out the online app today and for some reason after I typed out my information, (name, phone, and email)checked yes to all of the boxes, and hit continue the next page said thanks for applying we are currently reviewing your application with others. The problem is that I never got a chance to fill out the app in the first place. I had a previous app in with the old system. Has anyone had any similar problems?
 
Wtf

When you guys say nothing heard from UPS in 5 weeks do you mean absolutely NOTHING? Not even an FAA notification of a records check? Not even your previous employers being contacted? Nothing that would give you a clue that they are at least looking into your background or verifying your records? NOTHING?! Hell I got an FAA notification that FDX requested my records and my employer got called AFTER I 'busted' the sim and wasn't invited back for day 2. (UPS sim went well, thanks) Hey Fred, your departments not talking to each other again? Felt like getting kicked twice, almost like they missed the left nut the first time. Nailed 'em both...

As far as I know, UPS won't do the FAA background check/PRIA checks until they call you for the medical. At least that was how it was for me.
 
4 weeks and 1 day.....No letter..

They called this morning and offered me the job. No medical anymore. They told me I just needed to go to a local hospital and get a drug test. Hopefuly a class date soon after that.

I think I'm still stunned!
