Only problem is: I don’t know what to expect. I’ve searched high and low for questions that are likely to be asked and I can’t find anything. If you can tell me what the interview process entails and give me some tips on how I can ace the interview, it would be beyond greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Well, not exactly because presently I don’t really have a career. I am currently employed at a UPS store. Since the stores are all individually owned, I receive crappy pay, no benefits what-so-ever, and the prospects of ’moving up’ are pretty much non-existent. I do enjoy what I do at my job for the most part though, so trying for a career in the USPS seems like a good move. My question is since the only jobs available in my area are all temporary, should I keep my current job and apply to be a temp and wait until I get hired full-time or will I make enough money even as a temp to quit my other job? Also are any one of these temp positions likely to get me hired full-time any faster than the others? I know a lot of different factors go into it and that I most likely will be a temp for several years but I thought maybe someone with experience working for the USPS might know? -City Carrier (Transitional EMPL-MOU) -City Carrier (Transitional Employee) not sure the difference between the first one and this one -Rural Carrier ASSOC/SRV REG RTE -Temporary Relief Carrier -PM Relief/Replacement Thanks in advance for any help/advice!

The first week I did work a route walking and met all their requirements as far as getting back to the office before 5pm no matter how heavy or light the mail was that day. I even made it very clear at my interview back in January that I did not own a car. I was told that was not going to be a problem. Now there is a problem and I’m not getting any work. I requested to be transferred to a post office with postal vehicles but now there are no openings. So now I have to wait for an opening elsewhere and who knows how long that’s gonna take. Has this happened to anyone here before? Current Mood: frustrated ( Comment on this ) Thursday, October 29th, 2009 10:01 am [ lewzur ] so which is better? and what’s the average wait time after the interview? There are several Rural Carrier positions around my area and one Casual position, so which is better? I have an interview for a Rural Carrier position Monday, but the person I spoke with to setup the interview informed me that it is only every other Saturday and when the regular carrier is out. Don’t get me wrong a job is a job, especially in this economy, so if they’ll hire me I’ll take it. I’m pretty hard up these days, I’m a war on terror veteran (honorable discharge) and a college graduate and am still unable to find employment. So if you see Sallie Mae, tell her I’m working on getting her the money. lol But seriously though, who would’ve thought it would be so freaking hard for a college grad/vet to find work? It’s really a sad time in our society. Also, what’s the average wait after the interview to know if you got the job or not? Thanks in advance for all the input.

I currently work in my college’s post office. it’s not an official usps office, but we do everything a regular post office does except money orders. we even do rounds [deliver mail to all the offices] twice a day. i’m not so sure how well the whole college thing is going to work out for me - i am finding more and more that i’m not cut out for the education profession - and am thinking i’d like to try and work in a post office. i live in a very rural area, and i can’t move out of the town i live in until i can get out of college debt, so i guess i’d try at my town’s post office or one nearby first, but they’re all rural, so i guess i wouldn’t be a govt employee, since that’s only city carriers, right? well, either way, it’d be a better idea than racking up debt at school. what is the chance that i can maybe find a job in the PO? with the economy nowadays i’ve had a hard time even finding a student job at my school.

The USPS website is so uninformative & vague. Ugh. After applying for an Announcement number I just wait until they contact me? Also, where can I get my hands on a study book/ practice test?

He’s getting less than 30 hours this week, and that’s with a hold on a route. Three other PTF’s are only working 20-24 hours. There are 2 TE’s, each only working one day a week (usually Saturdays). His father’s station (Topeka) has the TE’s working 20 hours a week, and the PTF’s a full 40 hours, with regulars still getting full-time hours, and overtime if signed up. I’m just trying to figure out why there’s such a...
