  • You can search the USPS website for job opportunties. http://www.usps.com/employment/welcome.htm?from=home&page=employment
  • Besides the Online information on www.usps.com you can also walk into any US Postal Service building and ask for an application form, which you can fill out right away and hand to the appropriate employee (i.e. the Manager).
  • http://www.postaljobs.com/ This is not an official USPS website but it explains the exam process. You can get study guides to prepare for the tests. My intelligence is above average, but the postal test made me feel like a moron. I took the test in a large hall filled with about 1000 other applicants. A few minutes into it, I abandoned all hope of ever becoming a postal employee. As the crowd was breaking up, I heard comments that the test was easy. People said they had "aced" it. If you are a minority woman veteran, your chances go way up. Even if you do lousy on the test you might get hired, so go for it. My hope was to work the swing shift and go to college during the day. I knew a guy who became a lawyer this way. You could get stuck working graveyard, however.
  • There are casual or temporary positions that you can apply for at some locations that do not require a test, but they also are not permanent and have no benefits. To get a postal job with benefits, you have to wait until they are giving the postal exam, every 2-4 years. There are good books to help you prepare for the exam. Then after you have been tested you will be listed on a register by grade. Veteran's can get 5 or 10 extra points added to their score depending on whether they are disabled or not. When an office has a vacancy, they will request a register of people who chose that office as one of the three they were interested in working. First they will go for a group interview where the job will be explained to them. If they choose to continue, then they will be sent for a drug test and will have a one-on-one interview with the selecting official. The selecting official will choose one of the top three candidates who pass the drug test and background checks. It can be very hard to get on with the postal service, but if you do, the pay is excellent and the benefits are great.
