Default Application Question

Hello all,
I applied to the UPS career website back in 7/14 and never updated then I made another app in 8/16, they currently both say "active". Both have the exact same information. Is there an update button like the other airlines' application websites or do I just have to change some info for it to update? Do I have to make another application in January? I tried finding a delete for the first app so I could only have one app on file (that way I'm not updating both all the time) but there isn't one for that either. If I do make another app in Jan do I have to edit all three every time I update? Someone please clarify, Thanks!

The general consensus is that they only look at applications from the current year so you don't need to delete the previous. Resubmit an app for this year and resubmit another one in January when the application for 2018 opens.

Thanks! I just made another app and it instantly said "We have received and reviewed your background application information. Unfortunately, we currently have many qualified applicants and will not be able to schedule you for additional testing at this time. Thank you for your interest in UPS." and its "on File", I guess in Jan I'll try again.

Sadly our online system isn’t the greatest and often the auto-reply is as illogical as it gets. Recently a 747 check airman at one of the ACM carriers got the same reply you did. College degree, no check-ride busts, no failures of any kind, good rapport with everyone he’s ever worked with. Go figure?

My suggestion would be to apply in January and then have a sponsor, if you have one, call the HR and check up on your status. Maybe he or she could ask them if there's anything you can do to improve your chances of getting the call?
If you don’t have a sponsor I suggest you meet them at any of the job fairs out there. UPS attends most of them, year after year.

GOOD LUCK!
