Crash,

When I tried to update the application today, I got the same message...

I attended the DFW airinc conference last week for a little face time with the recruiters. The gent I spoke with said the reply you (and I) received was sent in error as part of the larger IT problem they are having. Hearing that after getting the thanks but no thanks reply was worth the price of admission alone.

Keep the faith!

Hey Folks,

I don't mean to add to the confusion, but here's my story. I received the same email everyone else did in early January about the position being filled, and couldn't find the 2007 app on the web site. Well, I was called last week for an interview based off my 2006 app. After I got the call, I logged in to the application center and HR had put a 2007 app on there for me to fill out.

I never got any kind of personality assessment, just a call out of the blue (best phone call I've ever received!). I was completely shocked to get a call, now I'm just hoping the interview goes well next week. I'll let you know if I get any helpful info about the application system.

I'm a civilian with no heavy/international experience, so there's hope for everyone! I also know of several other regional guys that have interviewed recently, so definitely stay persistant. I don't know what got me the call, I just feel darn lucky to get the chance! I had several internal recs, went to a few job fairs, and updated every 2 weeks.

Good luck everyone

Apologies for the late reply. The UPS rep I talked to wasn't overly forthcoming with additional information with regard to the application process. The few questions I did ask about the app were answered with a bunch of dunnos. At least he was honest. He seemed to want to keep the line moving as there was easily a hundred plus guys in dark blue suits waiting to give their pitch.
For those who have made it to the 2007 application, was the psych test a part of the app, an addendum to it, or part of the interview process?

Russ,
The psych test was an email sent directly from UPS. After a hot link from the email there were two assessments. One, 17 pages, the other 21 pages. I've searched a bunch for others that have done this but only have found about a half dozen others. Two got rejected right away, but others, the reply was something like we have your information on file etc, etc, and they are still waiting.

The one interesting post I found on this was someone received an assessment, filled it out and later that day received an email for an interview. That was on Jan 17th from another forum.

The next evidence of assessments were on Jan 30th. That's when I received mine. I'm hopeful that the next step is an interview!!

Hope that helps.
