UPS Pool

[highsky]

Has anyone lately (last 6 months) been getting a letter placing them in the hiring pool? If so, have they gotten out of the pool?

Or is everyone getting a phone call placing them directly into a class?

Thanks!

Swimming

I have been swimming in the pool since mid June. I jump every time the phone rings.

I have heard of people in the pool for a few minutes and others who have been in for a few years.

I have no idea what the norm is or how the current sim situation is impacting the class size for the rest of 2007.

Oct 1st classdate

Just got the call for Oct 1st. Was told everything is to ANC.
For those curious - interviewed Jul 8th, called 2 weeks later for drug and background checks, called today with classdate.

In my recent class no one swam. Almost everyone in my class had heavy time, and everyone had international experience.
From what I understand if you don't have either of those things you will swim if hired.

Did you guys have internal recommendation?

 

[geeitup]

Yes, 3 recs, but not until I got notified of the interview. I'm sure the international requirement is what got me the interview.

 

[Frank Towns]

I have the heavy time. I think I was the odd ball without knowing anyone working at UPS.

 

[geeitup]

I know another guy with int'l experience that got hired without any recs.

I know who you guys are, did you make it up to ANC to do some fishing?
