The UPS window is open

The UPS window is open
For those that haven't heard, the window is open for the second time this year. Here's the problem a friend of mine is having. He applied in January and pretty quickly got a thanks but no thanks or something similar. His application went right to inactive.
Since January he's improved his qualifications quite a bit with a 747 type rating, and time at a 121 carrier.
He went to reapply and things were going well until it asked, "have you applied earlier this year?" He said yes, and immediately got a screen saying we already have your stuff in the system, no need to reapply. We'll they do, but they don't. How can you get around this to show increased qualifications such as I mentioned, new jobs, check airmen letters, etc.?

I believe this can be easily explained during the interview process. I would definitely start over with a new email address. I seriously doubt the question comes up if you applied twice this year should they be selected to further in the process. Worth a shot for sure

I’ve never seen a company make it so hard for people to just submit an application. Hopefully UPS eventually scraps this HR system in the future. There are likely many highly qualified professionals being left out in the cold because they can’t even get an application to submit.
