Well, perhaps you should try calling UP. I found the following numbers on the website without difficulty.

Main Number (402) 271-5000
Operator (888) 870-8777

Try asking for the Sourcing department or Human Resources. Tell them you have been notified of a hiring session, but due to a bad connection couldn't get the right location. It is imperative that you make contact with a human being...

Thats the good news....but as Murphys Law would dictate, it was an automated call with an electronic voice, and I couldnt make out the name of the hotel I have to go to.
Even worst, when I went to turn off the 2 PC's so I could hear, the voice said something about accepting or rejecting...and then I guess because it had said it 2 or 3 times already while I was turning the PC's off and trying to hear it said "goodbye".
Argh...so now I dont even know if I accepted, rejected the invitation and whether I should book a flight and go or not...I dont want to show up and be told I didnt accept over the phone with the automated message.
Also, there is nothing on UP's website for a contact and I have not received an email confirming this at all.
I am not sure what to do.
