I really want to read "How to Ace your UPS Pilot Interview" but the only thing I can find is a sample of 29 pages on Amazon. Has anyone had any luck finding or buying this book?

I think it really is just a 29 page book.

FYI...if you have Prime it's free to borrow! Just loaned out to look over prior to the MCO fair!

Thanks for the feedback. I have done that and read the 29 pages. Just finished reading Big Brown and now I want to work there even more after learning the history of the company and how it was founded.

Any other recommendation of information to look at?

Hey guys, attending the FAPA fair end of the month. Trying to prep as much as possible via online and reading the books. Some have said 1st question after intro is usually "What do you know about UPS?" How would you recommend providing some info without just regurgitating Big Brown? I'm sure they hear the name Jim Casey about 100 times during these fairs. What might help a person standout as far as knowledge about the company? Thanks for the intel!

History is good, this company has institutional momentum bordering on that of the US Army....

...but knowing what new business areas the company is pursuing and growing currently is just as important.

What are some good spots to get this more current information. Any remarkable press releases that we should all be looking at?

Register online at UPS Pressroom to receive press releases. Know the last 4 or 5.

Default Pool = job fair?

In the pool, wondering if going to the job fair and saying hi to the recruiters will help me out of the pool at all? I figure my score is my score but I'm curious if anyone's ever been able to increase their chances by attending a job fair post successful interview. Trying to do whatever it takes!
