In the past UPS has looked favorably on this type of prior employment with them. Appears that they see it as an interest in the company beyond airplanes and a willingness to work in the core business.
It would be essential that you come away from the seasonal work with an excellent referral from you supervisor, UPS keeps an incredible amount of records.
To the best of my knowledge no one who has been successful as a pilot has come out of driving a truck or sorting packages .
Wish you the best , keep in mind we have pilots on the street and no forecast of hiring .
