How to Register for the Virtual Event
Signing up takes only a few minutes. First, visit the UPS events page. Next, search for New Jersey in the location field. Then pick the site closest to your home and register. You will receive event details once your spot is saved.
Think about your daily drive before you choose a location. A shorter trip makes early or late shifts much easier. It also cuts down on gas money, which adds up fast over a busy season.
Why You Should Apply Before Friday
UPS is clear on one point. You do not need to wait for the event to get started. Applications are open today at UPSJobs.com. Applying early can move you through the hiring process faster. As a result, you could start work sooner and earn more before the holidays.
There is another perk to applying first. The event then becomes a real conversation instead of a sign-up session. Recruiters can spend more time on your questions. They can also walk you through your next steps.
Seasonal Positions Now Open
UPS is filling four types of seasonal roles. Each one has its own pay rate and requirements. Read through them to find the best match for your schedule and skills.
Seasonal Casual Driver: $23 Per Hour
This role puts you behind the wheel of a UPS delivery vehicle. Applicants must be at least 21 and hold a valid driver’s license. UPS provides paid training for every new driver. You will attend a five-day driver training class. At the end, you must pass a final test.
That test may sound stressful, but help is built in. UPS gives each trainee a study guide to prepare. Steady practice goes a long way, even with no delivery background. If you are a careful driver who likes working on your own, this role fits well.
Seasonal Driver Helper: $21 Per Hour
Driver helpers ride along with a UPS driver for the day. You will help carry and deliver packages along the route. Applicants must be at least 18 years old. No special license is needed for this position.
This job keeps you moving from start to finish. It suits anyone who enjoys staying active and working outdoors. Dress in layers, since late fall weather near the shore can change quickly.
Seasonal Support Driver: $23 Per Hour
Support drivers use their own vehicles to deliver packages during peak season. The role offers flexibility in a fast-paced setting. You must meet UPS vehicle and eligibility requirements to qualify. Check the full job listing for the specific details before you apply.
This position works well for people who want extra income with some freedom. Retirees, college students and parents often find it a practical choice.
Warehouse Worker: $21 Per Hour
Warehouse workers sort and load packages inside a UPS facility. Applicants must be at least 18 years old. The pace is quick, and the work is team-based. Two shifts are available.
The Preload shift runs from about 3:00 AM to 9:00 AM. Meanwhile, the Twilight shift runs from about 5:00 PM to 11:00 PM. Early risers often prefer Preload, since it frees up the rest of the day. On the other hand, Twilight works well for people with daytime classes or another job.
Why Seasonal Work With UPS Makes Sense
UPS lists several reasons to join the team this season:
- Competitive seasonal pay from $21 to $23 per hour
- A supportive team environment
- Valuable work experience for your resume
- Potential for future career opportunities with UPS
- The chance to help deliver the holidays to your neighbors
Seasonal jobs also fill gaps between other roles. For example, someone between careers can earn steady pay while searching. Likewise, a recent graduate can gain references from a major employer. And for many people, the extra holiday income simply makes December less stressful.
Tips to Prepare for the Virtual Hiring Event
A virtual event still calls for a little preparation. Start by testing your internet connection and camera the night before. Choose a quiet spot with good lighting. Keep your application confirmation and a short list of questions nearby.
Next, think about which shift and role suit your life. Recruiters will want to know your availability. Be honest about your schedule, including weekends and holiday dates. Also, keep your driver’s license handy if you plan to apply for a driving role.
