UPS wants to hire 50,000 workers in virtual career fair

(WAND) - UPS is planning to hire tens of thousands of employees in a virtual career fair.

The major "Brown Friday" hiring event, set for Oct. 30, is kicking off seasonal hiring for UPS. The company hopes to hire 50,000 employees just on Friday.

Danelle McCusker, vice president of human resources for UPS, said the company wants to hire about 100,000 employees in total.

"If you're looking for part-time work, full-time work, and really just interested in that holiday cash, we have that option available for you," McCusker said. "Many people in this environment are looking for some more stability, so we also have that option available. And the thing I'm most excited about is the opportunity at a career. Believe it or not, over 37 percent of our seasonal employees last year came back for permanent roles this year."
