Our Mission:
To provide information to federal government job seekers concerning
opportunities in civil service and to help them explore ALL viable options.
Consider the numbers. The federal government employs over 2,704,000
workers and hires over a hundred thousand new employees each year to replace
workers that transfer to other federal or private jobs, retire, or stop
working for other reasons. Average annual salary of all full-time Postal
employees exceeds $70,000. The U.S. Government is the largest employer in
the United States, hiring two percent of the nation’s civilian work force.
Post Office jobs account for approximately 773,000 of Uncle Sam’s total
employment so many civil service opportunities exist for those who know
where to look.
Generating over 68 billion dollars in sales annually, the U. S. Postal
Service employs 773,000 workers nationwide to process and deliver 10.5
million pounds of mail daily. The average pay and benefits for career
bargaining unit employees now exceeds $57,000 per year and the jobs are
highly competitive.
This book guides readers step-by-step through the Postal Service’s
recruitment system and provides the information needed to explore and find
jobs, prepare for the 473 Postal Exam, and locate all job opportunities. The
author writes from first hand experience, he spent 35½ years working for
Uncle Sam. He provides an insider’s perspective on what it takes to go from
job hunter to hired, and everything in between to improve your chances of
landing a high-paying government job.
The all new fourth edition provides an overview of what is available,
including many jobs that don’t require written tests and how to apply for
them. Over half of all workers are mail carriers and clerks, however, postal
workers are employed in hundreds of diverse occupations, from janitors and

technicians, and engineers.
