General Overview of Experience	Interview experience is great, everyone is amazing there. My show time was 6am. My sim instructor showed up a little after 6. Just wait outside the door and they will come get you. No need to call the number posted on the door. Sim ride was as planned. My only comment is try to be relax. We laughed on multiple occasions and he commented that it was nice to hear someone laugh. It felt like he was thinking, he would be great to fly with on the line. When on break between sim and HR portion, say HI to everyone you see, start a conversation. HR portion was as previously briefed in other ride reports. It is truly a Tell Us About You interview. Questions will stem from your experience and your story/answers. Your words will guide the conversation. Also, know UPS’ history what UPS does besides package delivery. From myself getting the CJO tells me they are looking at the total interview. Try not to sweat it if you think you may have answered a question “wrong.”
