Hauptman, that is about when I got mine. I completed it within a few days and got a call on 2/2. The problem I had was that the link would not work. It wasn't till I forwarded it to another email address that the link worked properly. I feel for you hanging for so long. I think its needless to ask, but have you checked your spam filters?

 

Good luck to all who are "active", awaiting interviews, assesments, and decisions. I'm one of the legions who didn't have the luck to ever hit the upsjobs website on the right day/time. My 2006 app is not doing me any good and I can't get one in for 2007. I have several UPS buds on the inside pulling for me, but they can't help me get my app in or get selected for an interview. They did confirm what has been posted here and on the hotline that they are not taking any more apps. One recenly was in L'ville and heard that because the 72's will be going away quicker than new planes are coming in, there is probably going to be a 'pause' in hiring for a while. Have you heard that, or is it a bad rumor someone is passing around?

 

Don't feel bad. I actually managed to get my 2007 application started. Unfortunately, I had everything except my specific type rating flight time breakdowns with me at the exact time when I happened to log into the jobs site and saw the Flight Officer position posted. There I sat without my logbook in hand and thought... "If I don't at least get it started so I can log back in and complete it later, I'll never see it posted again."

So, I filled out everything I could with the exception of adding all but one of my type ratings and the specific PIC/SIC experience I had in those types. The application has a bunch of general fields you complete, but the type ratings section is an individual type by type upload. You can upload as many as you can or none... SO... when I finished everything else, it ASSUMED I was done and accepted it as being complete. So without the ability to update, I am being falsely evaluated by their system without any hope of correcting the application. I emailed them to inquire about making the correction to the app, but got an expected "too bad" answer.

You'd think there would be a nice disclosure stating that you'll only have ONE SHOT at filling out this application and that it is not like any previous app.

But I guess that critical piece of information that may have a significant impact on a persons career is something you just can't expect. I certainly hope the Director of Safety at UPS isn't the same person that holds the Director of on-line Applications position.

 

I'm right there with you bud. Who knew we couldn't log back in to update with the right contact info etc... Dad always told me a good education is always expensive. Sucks to be us...

 

Hi Guys:
My 2007 app shows on file (hoping it to go active sometime). I would like to know from the guys that it went active, if all of you guys have a bachelors degree? I have lots of PIC international time but i don't have a degree. Some heavy jet time too. Thanks for any posts answering my question. Good luck to u all.

 

My app is "active" and I've done the assessments. Yes, I have a degree and think it helps.

 

I hate to tell you this, but I think if you don't have a 4 year degree, you are SOL. I would keep trying for it though cuz you never know. Good luck!

Anyone get hired without a degree lately?

 

Yes, thanks for that, I have but don't see anything there. I also sent & forwarded it to the wife's email and nothing there either. Don't know, just don't want to be left by the wayside.

 

I have a Jan 07 app "on file" and it has never changed to "active". I check nearly every day. As a side note, when I filled out the app, it also never gave me the option to upload a resume. I hope that isn't a deal breaker for me.

p.s. could someone please list the return email address from emails they receive from UPS? I'd like to add it to my address book so it can't get spam blocked. (or pm me if you don't want to post it..please)

 

My app shows active and has ever since I finished it. I have also taken the assessment but no call yet. Took it last Thursday.
