Orientation info

[Zack]

I know that not all UPS centers run the same, however I recently applied for a Driver Helper position and got a call to come in for the orientation, you may remember when I posted here about a week ago.

Should I dress nice, or dress to work? How long will I be there? Also, what is the general time orientation starts? The lady hung up before I could register what time she said. If I remember correctly, I think she said 9:00 or 9:30. Not entirely sure.

Wear whatever. You will receive your uni when you get hired. Call her again, or it maybe on upsjobs.com under your profile.

Here's a winning solution...show up at 9:00. Better early than late....jfc.

No matter what time you show up you will end up waiting. Wear something nice and be clean shaven and make a nice appearance. No need to wear a suit or anything fancy. Sometimes on building tours you will see guys more dressed up then the Division Manager.

You will be getting paid. Dress to work (boots are all that matters) and maintain grooming standards.

Don't think he is hired yet. He said he recently applied.

Driver helper position. Most likely will not be working steady until after Thanksgiving. Zack, you should have applied as a package handler. More steady hours Monday through Friday.

Lot of people call initial meeting orientation, thus not paid, he said he just filled out application.

Call her back and say you do not want to make plans that interfere with the orientation.. she should then tell you how long it will last.. then ask her to verify the start time.

8:30 with a suit and tie. Now watch how every other driver helper that comes after you have that "oh fk!" look.


By the end though, you will feel like a silly goose :/

dress for work in clean clothes ( you will be surprised how many do not )

shower, use deodorant, brush your teeth ( ditto from above )

take notes if necessary and ask questions if anything is not clear.

Yea....but a job is a job. Even going to a McDonalds interview...nothing wrong with over dressing and being prompt. It beats showing up 20 min late looking like you rolled out of bed.

 

[3 done 3 to go]

Here's to hoping you one of those who can sleep with your eyes open. If not you will be bored to death. Btw -- Sups gives you all the answers. Don't worry about passing

 

[tacken]

Really your a body. You will meet the driver be his all day. Work hard be respectful, and don't throw the packages. And when peak is over so are you. Return your uniform collect last check.

You can never go wrong with business casual if you're not sure.

Rent a costume and wear that. HR loves Star Wars stuff!
