UPS App. Question

[ChinaClipper]

I filled the app out online this A.M. but was wondering about the "Upload you Resume" link at the bottom. Does anyone know if the want a resume??? BTW Why doesn't UPS want a detailed flight time break down??? Thanks Clip

UPS app-would not let me update flight time

Went online to apply for UPS app. Computer took my basic info and then said they had my previous info on file, and did not let me update any flight times. I'm a military guy and did not use the .3 conversion last time, so I did not qualify for the last round of interviews.

Did I just get a "thanks, but no thanks" message from UPS?

 

[p3pilot71]

I applied for the first time today and got the same message. I don't think it was a "thanks but no thanks".

Anybody have an idea on:

Noticed on this application that it did not have the "flight crew application supplement" where you put flight times, aircraft, dates, etc. like the one last year did.

My application from 11/2006 still shows up under "applications" and still says "active." This was the second officer listing from that time period. I couldn't do the first app this year due to the transoceanic crossing requirement.

Should I update the 2006 application's flight crew supplement, or just attach a resume to the current (08/07) application and consider it good???

My application from April still says active, I've even completed the online assesment. UPS e-mailed with a request to update my resume. I guess I'll just fill out another application to make sure.

They do want a resume. When I was called that is what Buz in HR went over. Nothing cosmic, just verifying info. Good luck. From what I have heard hiring will continue for the forseeable future.

LOR's

Does anyone know what the process is for LOR's?
How they get submitted, and when.
Are people first getting called without one? Or, is it imperative to have one to get called?
Thanks.

Hey Av8, are you looking to leave Bill and the boys for greener pastures? Just curious.

1. Whoever recommends you has to go on www.airupsers.com and submit the approx. 14 essay questions regarding things such as basic flying skills, dependability, teamwork, etc. The link is in the middle of the first page when you sign in.

2. See #1. I suppose a recommendation could be submitted before you apply but I would just submit one right after the person gets their application in.

3. Yes

4. No, it's not imperative to have one anymore. I heard it "adds a point" to your score to have one.

Good luck!

Folks, whatever you do, have ALL your information ready before you start because:

Note: Please fully complete the application prior to clicking SUBMIT. Updates are not permitted!

Good luck everyone!

 

[JohnDoe]

I saw that too.

But it looks like I am still able to go back and change info, even from my 11/2006 application.

I did not even see a "submit" button.

Both of them say complete and "active."

Just keeping my options on the table.

After I finished the app, I got the following message: Thank You

"We have received and reviewed your background application information. Unfortunately, we currently have many qualified applicants and will not be able to schedule you for additional testing at this time. Thank you for your interest in UPS."

That's GOOD, right?

[Porch]

my buddy got the same thing. Did you find anything out about that?

I didn't get any message?? Is that bad? Thanks

 

[p3pilot71]

Is anyone here a first time applicant? I am and the only thing I can fill out is the page that asks for contact information and the yes/no questions regarding minimums.

I'm guessing that you have not answered one of the questions "correctly" or have missing information.

 

[p3pilot71]

Filled in and triple checked all of the info and keep getting this reply:"Our system has retained the information you previously supplied. Your information, along with the information supplied by other job applicants, will be considered when UPS jobs become available. Thank you for continuing to consider UPS as an employer".

That's how my buddy got locked out. Now he can't get in and the window is going to close soon...

 

[p3pilot71]

I tried it again with a newly created e-mail address and it let me in. Filled out the app and got the "sorry but..." message.

I got the same message and assume that it means we're SOL. Right? What a load of s**t. I've been trying to apply for the past two days and now it seems I've missed the window because of a problem with their website. Nice!

 

[Big Air]

While filling out the app, I clicked 3 of 4 of the boxes for International experience (Asia, Mid East, Europe). So that's not it.

 

[Iflewjetz]

I thought it was odd that it didnt have a place for your flight time. My flight time is on my resume, so I didnt worry. I just got a thank you for applying at the end.

If you got your application in, you did not miss the window. If you got that message, I think that just means that you didn't meet whatever criteria they have in there for what they want today.

Hope I'm wrong but I think it means you "didn't pass" one of the questions, whatever that might have been...

 

[ABXbooger]

I got the same message, Can't seem to understand what they are looking for. The only thing I lack is international experience.

Hmmm, maybe they aren’t requiring transoceanic experience officially, but...

 

[p3pilot71]

I have the transoceanic experience and got the same message so that's not it.

 

[dhc8drvr]

do you have a 4 year degree?

 

[IFLYASA]

I had a problem filling out aircraft flight time. It only gave you a choice of something like jet, or ME Turbine. So if I were to add a single engine plane, I only had those 2 choices to use. So If I comes down to an interview, hopefully I can get that cleared up..

 

[WabiSabi]

My application was also missing the flight time application supplement. I sent a message through "contact us" and chose the link below. I received an email just a few hours later that stated the the supplement had been added to my application and it was indeed added.
