I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at UPS
Interview
Took the tour. HR did a good job scaring people away with "hard labor, early morning/late night, etc". I asked a few drivers and they said it wasn't super hard, just a little tough if not a morning person.

Question 1
What would you do if a workplace accident occurred?
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at UPS (Harrisburg, PA) in Sep 2013
Interview
They took me around the building then ask a few questions. Easy questions. Just want to know who you are. They let you talk with an employee who is still unloading. After the tour they bring you back into this room where they ask if you want to work here or no. I agreed they put me right with the manager
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I had an interview with the manager, they quickly cut to the chase. Why do you want to work here. And if you have proper transportation. Last, can you handle the job.
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at UPS
Interview
I was surprised at how many people were there along with me -- if they do the tour/interview every day for a bunch of consecutive days, seems like I have some competition! They brought us into the facility, read us a printout explaining wages/benefits/union dues and the physical intensity of the job, then led us to the loading and unloading areas, as well as explaining sorting. We stood inside a semi truck and looked at the conveyor belts moving packages along. For unloading it seems like you just tear the packages out as fast as you can while still making sure they're address-label-up -- the loading part we didn't get to see as the truck the interviewer took us to was half-full but vacant, I guess they were on break. The interview was super brief, so brief I forgot my well-rehearsed speech (lol) and who knows what the interviewer thought of me.

Question 1
Not unexpected -- just do you have any questions, do you have any experience in this type of job, do think you'd do this job 12+ months.
