Even if you wow them you may only get offered a perm inside position. If they got their outside hire in the 6 to 1 their hands may be tied, even if you are the best thing to happen to UPS since the DIAD.

Pretty much. You wouldn't believe the crap they tell people to get them in the door. I'm a pilot, the HR rep told me I'd be flying for UPS in no time.
I was like yeah okay pal.

If you have health insurance where you are now, you will lose it when your quit.
You will not have any health insurance at UPS for quite some time, so figure if you can afford to keep your current health insuance by making the Cobra payments.
Any idea how much it would cost under Cobra?

Well over $1K/month.

What is the probability that he would get enough hours as a temp just to pay the Cobra for health insurance?

Back when I was a casual we had to work 36 days in a quarter to get benefits for the following quarter.
I don't what the requirements are today.

So? You can't touch that until you are 59 1/2.

To be the man, you gotta beat the man.
It seems like you don't want to listen to anything EXPERIENCED upsers have to say.

I'm not a driver. But, when I started at UPS 8 years ago, HR told me that there would be permanent PC driver positions opening up "soon".
Fortunately, I wasn't interested because (nearly*) everyone that started around the same time or after I did, who wanted to drive, ended up moving on.
*There are a few permanent drivers that started after me. One was a recent off-the-street hire. One was supervisor who became a PC driver. And, 2 or 3 others had experience and a CDL that allowed them to move into feeders fairly quickly - within 3 months to a year.
There may be others that I am not aware of.

Honestly the chances might be slim to non but they are still there. I was told by my current shop steward to keep looking for other work while temping because the chances of me being hired was slim to none and that was years ago. Still here.

I have a feeling you are still here because you fill several quotas.

You have been excellent given valuable advice from many who have been doing this for years.
You seem to only want to hear from those who will say what you want to hear.
Are you willing to give up any time with your family during the Holidays? You will be hard pressed for any time with them during the Holidays.
