Ups

Looked at upsjobs.com to apply for a pilot position. A quick look didn't reveal anything for pilots. Different site or is it hidden somewhere in there?

What???

Taken from that website...

"UPS is an Equal Opportunity Employer, m/f/d/v."

What does this mean? Male/Female/D___/V_____. Are we talking anatomy?

Whats the best way to "cut & paste" your resume into that box? My resume is a MS Word Doc. file and when I cut and pasted it into the box it kind of got scrambled up? What does the resume/cv mean? The cv part that is?

 

[cardinalflyer]

cv = curriculum viatale - basically French for resume more popularly used for PhD, MD and other education professionals.

The MS format should work if you do not have any bullet points separating your sentances. If you have information centered on the page (name, address etc.) you may want to left justify it so that it views better.

( CV = Curriculum Vitae )

Following is from a different post, guy (babyface) did an awesome job explaining how to do this, haven't tried it myself. Have fun:

You need to convert your Word .doc resume to plain text ("ASCII") first, here's how-

Converting a Word document to ASCII text:

1. Spell check and then re-save your resume in your word processing program (e.g. Word) before you move to the next step.
2. Open a simple text editor like Notepad (on the PC, under Start > Programs > Accessories > Notepad) or SimpleText (on the Mac)
3. Start Word (or your word processing program if you're not using Word), if it is not already open.
4. In Word (or your word processing program), open the file for your resume. If you make any changes, be sure to double-check your spelling and grammar before you save the file.
5. Highlight all the text in your Word document by -
* Clicking on Edit > Select All, or
* Using your mouse to run from the top of the file to the bottom, or
* On your PC, holding down the Control and the "a" keys simultaneously.

Highlight -- You will know that the text is highlighted because the background and letters of highlighted content are in reverse from their normal state (black background with white letters is the highlighted state for normal black letters on a white background).

Don't let your mouse "touch down" anywhere in the document's window, or the highlighting will go away, and you will have to start over again.
6. Copy the highlighted text into your computer's temporary storage (the "Clipboard" in a PC) by -
* Clicking on Edit > Copy, or
* On your PC, press the Control and the "c" keys simultaneously.
7. Move to your simple text editor, most probably Notepad (step 1, above), and paste the copy of your resume file into this new editor.
* Click inside the Notepad window, and then
* Click on Edit > Paste, or
* On your PC, press the Control and the "v" keys simultaneously.
8. Save as plain text.
* Select File > Save As, and then
* Name the file resume.txt (or whatever.txt), with
* in Notepad, Text Documents selected as the "File of Type"
9. You aren't done yet! You need to adjust the text to make it more readable and interesting

You will notice that your resume, in Notepad, is not as "pretty" as it was before. That's because it is now plain text. All special formats, like bolding and italicizing, have been removed, as have any graphics or other non-text elements. (Now you know why it is called "plain" text!) This is a good thing! At least, for e-mail, it is. You can, and should, take some steps to improve the way ASCII text looks. It still won't be beautiful, but it will be more acceptable.

Any insight on UPS hiring requirements for 2006?

Where/what equipment are new hires being assigned to?

Is it possible to work through an non-domicile location? For example, if you live in PHL, is it possible to start/end trips in PHL and not have to commute to one of the domicles?

Tnx

Depends on the contract and whether or not there is a strike.

A300, 757/767, and either the panel or right seat on the 727 and DC-8. 757 domiciles are Miami, Ontario, L-ville domestic, and L-ville international. Everyone else in L-ville.

PHL is a big gateway for UPS and many trips start/end there. Many commuters do not keep cars/crashpads in L-ville, but it just depends on your luck.
