Need a job to make a little extra cash for the holidays? United Parcel Service, or UPS, says it plans to hire more than 100,000 extra workers to help handle an increase in packages during the critical holiday season. They are holding a “Brown Friday” hiring event Friday and Saturday. Holiday-season volumes have been rising since October and UPS is expecting it to remain high into January. They say that although online shopping has slowed after the pandemic, the figures are still well above pre-pandemic levels.
If you are interested in applying for a job with UPS, go to the website “jobs.u-p-s.com” and follow the links. They are saying they expect the jobs to continue to be open through the holiday season.
The company has seen a huge increase in business the past decade and remains one of the strongest package delivery systems in the country. Checking their website this morning, there are three job openings at the UPS facility in Ottawa.
