Full and Part-Time Seasonal Positions Are Available – Primarily Package Handlers, Drivers and Driver-Helpers
Dan McMackin, Spokesperson, UPS
(Atlanta, GA, Tuesday, November 7, 2017) – UPS is in the thick of a push to hire about 95,000 seasonal employees to support the anticipated holiday surge in package volume through January 2018.
The full and part-time seasonal positions – primarily package handlers, drivers and driver-helpers – are not only a way to earn some extra cash, they’ve also long been an entry point for a permanent job when the holiday rush is over. Many senior executives started their careers as part-time employees, including CEO David Abney.
Spokesperson Dan McMackin explains how interested job seekers can easily apply for holiday season opportunities.
