Default Interview without Internal Rec?

Anyone get an interview without an internal recommendation? I could be mistaken, but it seems like that's the key to getting an interview. Much like FedEx use to be?? Would appreciate if anyone has any insight.

It may be a key, but certainly not the only key to an interview. I've had two solid internal recs for months now....still waiting for the call.

One guy in my class didn't have any but that was way back. I've heard rumors of a couple more since. Definitely the exception but if your resume is strong enough I would imagine it's not a show stopper.

Good luck.

Hey,

I was hired 8 months ago with no internal rec.
It is definitely possible.

I didn't have any internal recs... I attribute my call to job fair attendance. I suspect that was my trigger.

No internals for me. Job fair is a must.

One word to remember:

Connection.

UPS wants a current employee to be connected to you, or they want to connect with you in person at a job fair. Go to three job fairs if you have to, I know it worked recently for a new-hire.

The exceptions (no job fair attendance and no internal recs but still hired) are rare.

And no job fair as well.

You can get an interview without a rec or attending a job fair but those obviously increase your chances.

I just had a third internal LOR submitted yesterday, no job fairs and my status still shows "on file." I have another probably 2 LOR I could get internally but I wish I could get to a job fair...face to face is priceless.
