“We have a variety of jobs and shifts available here in Columbus, and I’d encourage anyone looking for a part-time or full-time job with good pay and benefits to come to the job fair to learn more,” said HR manager Chelsea Allison in the press release. “I’ve seen first hand that these jobs can be a foot-in-the-door for a great career at UPS.”
