The Postal Service uses their
eCareer online recruiting
process to fill job vacancies.
Entrance tests are still required for most jobs; however, you now apply
online for post office job vacancies and complete an initial assessment when you
apply. Applicants now take proctored exams at designated testing facilities on
computers instead of lengthy written tests that were previously used.
This site, along with our Post Office Jobs
study guide, features the many changes in the Postal Service's
recruiting programs.

Update
The Postal Service is offering early retirements to workers and according to Greg Fry, USPS Spokesperson, there is
currently a hiring freeze for career positions
except for electronics technicians and various
mechanics. Certain critical vacancies will also be filled. The
Postal Service is recruiting for non-career Casual,
Temporary Relief, Transitional and Rural Carrier positions on an as needed
basis. The starting pay is from $9 to $20 an hour. These
positions are a good way to get your foot in the door and they don't require
a written entrance exam.
If you are hired for a non-career appointment you will have a better chance
of landing a career position after the reorganization. Temporary
appointments typically run from 89 to 359 days with additional appointments
possible depending on the position type.
The federal government continues to hire during this recession. Visit
http://federaljobs.net to explore related
entry level government jobs. The federal government has over 18,000 job
vacancies listed on just one of the 141 federal agency web sites listed on
http://federaljobs.net. You should also explore
related private sector jobs
to expand your options.
WARNING - CAUTION
Don't be enticed by Postal Exam scams. You
don't have to pay anyone to schedule or take a federal Postal Exam. To
find out if there are job vacancies that you can apply for in your area go to our "Postal
