HOUSTON – Are you looking for work? Check out UPS. Right now, UPS has 800 jobs available. They’re offering seasonal positions, but 11 News got an inside tip. UPS said the hires who do well during the temporary employment get top priority when hiring for full-time positions. Not only that, but UPS is offering a job where you can work right in your own neighborhood. Here’s how it works: UPS is hiring both package handlers and driver helpers. The handlers are moving the packages either on and off the trucks or from within the various distribution centers. The driver helpers fill a job you might not have heard of before. They meet a UPS driver in their neighborhood or an adjacent neighborhood and help deliver the packages. That’s right – driver helpers play Santa and go door-to-door with the driver. It’s more convenient, because you don’t have to commute to an office, explained UPS’ John Liddle. "You could hook up with the delivery driver in your neighborhood or in an adjacent neighborhood where it would be just a short drive to meet up with a driver and then assist him or her in delivering packages to our customers during the holiday season," said Liddle. Experts say that while these positions are mostly seasonal, it’s proven to be easier to get a job when you already have one. FedEx is also hiring seasonal employees right now.
