2) Internal Recs
3) Attendance at a job fair. (maybe move this up or down in the list)
Of course, you'd have to be able to show you would fit with company, too. Before the job fair, get yourself up to speed on all of UPS, not just the airline portion.
Good luck!
Someone once told me that "luck" is where preparation meets opportunity...
For those who care, I had fairly low time (compared to my class mates) at 4500+ hours with that being all military (heavy). I never went to a job fair and I had 1 internal rec..... I think.
Just keep your stuff updated, and RELAX. When the call does come, be yourself. I looked at it from the stand point of "If the company doesn't like me for me, then that is not the company I want to work for." Never did a job interview prep, never looked at a prep for the HOGAN.... just did them as me, not what I thought someone wanted me to be. Good luck (preparation), and hope to see you on property some day.
