The peak season for delivery companies, like UPS, runs from Oct. 15 until mid-January as holiday packages increase demand.

To deal with that influx of deliveries, UPS is holding a two-day, statewide hiring blitz on Friday and Saturday.

Yanina Hernandez Bynum, the human resources business partner director for UPS, said the company is hiring hundreds of workers between Friday and Saturday in Northeast Florida. None of the Jacksonville positions open will require an in-person interview. Those interviews will be done virtually over the next two days. Here’s the website for virtual interviews:UPS says interviews can be as quick as 20 minutes, with some people having a job offer by the end.Co-workers and spouses Amanda and Whitney Leedur understand the need for the hiring blitz as their workload amps up this time of year.“On a normal average day, I do around 200 stops,” Whitney said.

“Sleep is the hardest thing,” Amanda said. “That is what I miss out on the most. I lack a lot of sleep during peak season. I feel like that also adds to a lot of stress.”“I try to get to know their route and know where they are going first so that I can load the trucks according to how they are going to deliver,” Amanda said. “I just feel like it is easier for the drivers.”“It really helps if people get in there and give us ample time to get the packages. Once we get it, we push it out.
