Default UPS hiring process?

Does anyone know a good thread that describes the UPS hiring process after the application. On-line assessment, interview etc. If there is no such thread yet, maybe someone can give us all a quick synopsis.

Default Hiring Process

- Application is "Active"
- Computer/Hr selects you for the next step
- Psychological assessment, computerized test around 400 questions true/false, once you submit you know instantly if you passed or failed.
- If you pass assessment Hr contacts you for an Interview how long seems to differ from case to case?
- Interview consists of a Sim ride (727 Lately) and Interview with Hr and Pilot rep (Low stress).
- Wait for the Call Yes or No
- Yes move on to whiz quiz and background checks
- everything good get base, class date and equipment type offer

This is how it went for me
5 months in the active pile, 19 days from assessment to class date I guess the stars lined up!!

Thanks OnStep

just what I was looking for. It seems trivial information, but it is sometimes hard to filter out the mulitude of postings.

I really wish UPS had a better profit sharing deal, Fed Ex beats them on that.

Aaah, we no longer have a profit sharing deal, ever since we got our union.

If you wantto share the profits, become a stockholder or apply to management. We have an employee stock purchase program. You buy at 10% off of the lowest price on the first or last day of the quarter. So far it has not been a great investment.
