What Keyword for Search
 
Question for you guys who've been able to fill out an '07 app: What keyword did you search for on the ups jobs website. I keep trying "second officer" since that's what the job was advertised as last year, but I've also been trying "first officer" and "pilot" just in case.

So far, nothing available and I've been trying 3-5 times a week for the last couple of months. I even have some internal rec's but it doesn't make a bit of difference if you don't even have an app in.

My app did ask me for intl exp, etc. It also shows as a second officer app.

Then you are good to go. If the only app you've ever submitted was done in 2006 then it's time to reapply when the window opens. Sounds like you did the 2007 version. Sorry to confuse you.

Anybody have an idea when the window's opening again.

Of those who were "on file"
Has anyone NOT seen their application go from "on file" to "active"... in other words, are there any "on file" people out there, who have never been "active?"


I am one of them. I think there are plenty of us out there...Even if there are only a few (100-200 or so) that can get their app in at any one time, you can't expect everyone to be invited to the hiring process--and that's apparently what going "active" means...

No worries...I just got an email yesterday telling me to standby for another email for the online assessment. Anyone know how long it normally takes for the assessment to show up and when it does, are there any "gotchas" with it?

No Gotchas
 
AK15

I got the assessment email a couple of weeks ago. There are no gotchas that I saw. It was weird, though. Some statements (they were all statements that you respond with t/f radio buttons) were pretty straightforward, such as:
I have never deliberately told a lie. There were several statements that were similar. I think the idea is to check to see if the applicant is consistent.

I wouldn't sweat it. I recommend giving honest answers and if they don't like who you are, maybe you'd be better off with someone else.

BTW, I tried to pm you, but have to do a bunch of posts before that's permitted. Perhaps you could PM me if you want some more info. I don't know if I'll be able to respond...

Cheers

The application window is closed right now, so no keyword will work :rolleyes: The one UPS has used that I know of in the past is FLIGHT OFFICER.
