Casual temporary positions are a good way to familiarize yourself with
the Postal Service's work environment and they can lead to full time
employment. If they like your work, and keep you for at lest 180 days, you
can request to take the Postal Exam; even if none are currently being
administered in your area. If you pass the test your name will be added to
the current hiring register in rank order for full time employment.
One word of caution. The casual temporary positions schedules are tedious
to say the least. They can and do often work casual temps long hours and
sometimes 7 days a week during peak mail periods and you are subject to work
any and all shifts. It is hard work but if you impress the supervisor ,and
they keep you for up to 180 days, you can apply for job vacancies and take the test
to get a job with benefits and better pay. Some positions at major facilities can last up
to two years with a short break between consecutive years.
