On March 25, Mr. Randal Whipple, the UPS Supervisor, for the Waycross Distribution location met with
HSHT students at Ware Co High School. Students from Appling County also participated as Ware Co High School was willing to assist HSHT in providing this opportunity to Appling County HSHT students through a YouTube live streaming application. Mr. Whipple shared that the best way to start a career at UPS is to apply and get hired as a temporary employee during their high-volume holiday season. He shared that temporary employees who commit, work hard, show up, show up on time, and work well as team members have an opportunity to be hired/retained as full-time employees. He also shared all the various career opportunities available at his location, position’s responsibilities, and the average pay for each position. Mr. Whipple explained that UPS likes to promote from within. He shared that most that are hired remain with the company until retirement because of the incredible benefits, such as pay, healthcare, vacation time, annual bonuses, and retirement. Students asked many questions, like where can I get an application, how can I make sure I get hired from an interview, and what exactly does the retirement plan look like. Mr. Whipple was glad to provide insight on all the questions. One student was extremely interested and recommended by the teacher; Mr. Whipple spent additional time providing tips for getting hired following his formal presentation. Comments are closed.
