Atlanta-based UPS, the world’s largest package delivery company, is hosting its annual “Brown Friday” hiring event, with over 600 in-person and virtual events nationwide on Nov. 3rd and 4th.

The event hopes to be a scouting ground to hire 60,000 of the 100,000 seasonal employees it needs for the holidays.

After a less-than-ideal 3Q earnings report that saw an over 12% year-over-year decrease in revenue, CEO Carol Tomé said in a press release that the company is “well-prepared for the peak holiday season.”
