      Seasonal Driver Interview

      12 Sept 2015
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Philadelphia, PA
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at UPS (Philadelphia, PA) in Sept 2015

      Interview

      I applied online; very lengthy application. Upon submitting my application, I was immediately prompted to schedule an interview with a recruiting specialist at the UPS facility; I scheduled it for the next day. I wore a button-down shirt tucked in, khaki pants, and nice shoes, and I was appropriately dressed; suit and tie is very unnecessary, people show up in jeans, sneakers, T-shirts, etc. There were 14 of us in a room with one recruiting specialist. She briefly went over the guidelines of the position, one of which is the personal appearance guideline, no visible tattoos and no facial hair; three people left at that time because of a hand tattoo, neck tattoo, and a beard. We then lost a guy because he had an expired license. And then another guy because he could not drive a stick shift. We then had very brief personal interviews with the recruiting specialist in her office. Basically, to make sure your application is correct and answer any questions or concerns you have on the position. If you're interested, the recruiting specialist immediately schedules you for a quick driving test to see if you can actually drive a stick shift; I believe this is an easy step for them to weed out more applicants before they get too far along in the process, smart. The recruiting specialist informed us that the next steps would be to pass a written memorization test on company driving guidelines, as well as a DOT physical, at which point they would then schedule you for a weeklong driving school that may require travel and hotel stay depending on how far you are from their training facility. This is a decent paying seasonal job, where you can be outside and somewhat physical. Drawbacks, as there are with any job, would be the long hours (though OT would be nice if you're in it for max money, not for me) and the volume of packages to deliver on an unfamiliar route

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      No real interview questions to prepare for. If you are basically qualified, and have an interest in the position, they're going to push you through the hiring process where they can start weeding folks out as quickly as possible.
      Answer question

      Question 2

      You need to have a license, be able to drive a stick shift and subsequently drive a truck, have no visible tattoos, be willing to shave your facial hair, be physically fit enough to pass a physical and do the job, and be able to do the hours which are very heavy in December. I ended up not taking the job because of the likely late evening hours.
