CHARLOTTE, N.C. — UPS hopes to hire hundreds of workers in the Charlotte area for the 2022 holiday shipping season.
UPS announced it will hold a hiring fair in Charlotte on Saturday, Nov. 5, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. The event will be located at 1815 West Pointe Drive in west Charlotte.
Interested applicants could get hired in as little as 25 minutes, UPS said. The shipping company is hiring seasonal workers but some of those positions could turn into full-time opportunities.
Last year, nearly 35,000 seasonal UPS employees were given permanent positions after the holiday season.
