I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at UPS (Shrewsbury, MA)
Interview
Interview was 1 week after applying. You are in a room with about 10 other people as the HR person cheerily tells you about the job and how rewarding it is, but that it's also hard work. Get there early, because they will interview you in the order that you arrived (there's a sign in sheet), so arriving late will mean waiting up to an hour to get interviewed.
The 1-on-1 interview for me was very quick, 5 minutes. The reviewer asked a few basic questions which I listed below. She took my social security and date of birth information down and offered me a job right away. I didn't accept however because I was awaiting a better seasonal job offer from USPS ($12.75 an hour and no blizzard-condition work) which I got 2 days later, so I declined this position.
No drug test required, no background check required. Pay is $10.10 an hour and if your boss notices that you are hard working and reliable, you will likely be working over 50 hours per week.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at UPS (Landover, MD) in Oct 2015
Interview
You will have an information session in large groups to get some basics of the job. Then you schedule an interview which you also attend in a group. Once you go through that you are given a coordinator who will tell you your work route and where to meet the driver. They also will let you know when you work.
I applied in-person. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at UPS (Bozrah, CT) in Oct 2014
Interview
went to headquarters and sat with dispatcher and several other applicants. Filled out hiring information and then received phone call following day if interested in employing. It was easy and not that nerve raking. I literally walked in and walked out in under 30 minutes. Interviews can often be scary, at least to me, but the employees here were friendly and kind. They all seemed to love working for UPS. I was told that many higher ups had started with UPS company as a Driver helper. They explain that driver helper is a tough job to hold but they pay well.
