Job Summary & Tips for Applying
Quick Summary & What to Highlight: The Package Handler position at UPS in Windsor is a permanent part-time morning shift role focused on loading, unloading, sorting, and scanning parcels at 5325 Rhodes Drive. Two things to put front and centre on your resume are your ability to lift up to 70 lbs./32 kgs., since it is a firm physical requirement, and your flexible availability for morning shifts up to 5 days per week, as scheduling fit is explicitly required.
Resume & Application Tips: Call out any hands-on work involving physical lifting, moving goods, or working in a warehouse, distribution centre, or loading dock, because those experiences map directly to the loading and unloading duties listed. If you have used scanning equipment or sorted items by code or destination, mention that alongside the phrase postal codes to reflect the memorization requirement. A concrete example helps: if you regularly moved shipments of a certain weight or volume, put that number in your resume (for example, “unloaded inbound shipments averaging 50–70 lbs. per package across a 4-hour shift”).
Interview Preparation: Be ready to describe a time you worked at a physical pace for several hours and how you managed accuracy under that condition, since loading and unloading and correct sorting are the core duties. The posting lists the shift as starting at 6 or 7 AM, so expect a question about your morning availability and how reliably you can commit to it. Worth asking: whether the specific start time is fixed or rotates between 6 and 7 AM, and what the onboarding process looks like for learning UPS package handling methods.
