I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at UPS (San Antonio, TX) in Jan 2016
Interview
Applied online, immediately got an email asking to set up a phone interview. After the phone interview, I was asked to complete a pretty lengthy assessment online. After passing the assessment, I was asked to come in and complete a panel interview. The entire process took about 2 weeks.

(The panel interview consisted of a sales manager and the head of HR. They have 3 sheets of paper with approximately 10 questions on each. They will ask 2 randomly selected questions from each sheet. The interview is recorded and they also write down your answers on an evaluations sheet).
I filled out the application online. Then received the email about a week later to schedule the for the interview with a hiring manager. Interviewed within 2 weeks via Zoom.
Panel interview with a supervisor and HR. Very basic questions. Be professional and have good questions to ask, and you should be fine. You'll be surprised with some of the people they let through the interview process if you make it through the other side.

The Interview was pretty basic, they asked me about my previous experience on sales. They are not looking for you to be an expert but at least some experience. They also asked me about my education.
