In an interview to Associated Press, the President of Human Relation at UPS, Danelle McCusker Rees said that the job competition is getting intense in the market compared to the previous years. Rees is the same employee who was hired as a seasonal worker in the company She said ‘’Also, nearly 80% of seasonal positions do not require an interview, up from 75% a year ago’’
