The Postal Service recently implemented their new eCareer online recruiting process. 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.

Employment Update
The Postal Service is offering early retirements to 150,000 postal 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 and a recent online search found many non-career openings nationwide. 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 Jobs" page and follow the links to the Postal Service's recruiting site or go to our resources page. You now apply online through the Postal Service for specific job vacancies for your area. We do offer a comprehensive study guide titled "Post Office Jobs: Explore and Find Jobs, Prepare for the 473 Postal Exam, and Locate ALL Job Opportunities"  for $24.95 that you can purchase from us online or at your local book store. If you can't afford our book it should be available at your local library in their reference section. Just make sure they have the 5th edition that covers the new 473 exams. All other study guides and books on this subject are now outdated since the Postal Service changed the application process in late 2008.  

 

Also, explore and apply for all job vacancies in the government and private sectors to improve you chance of employment. You can also search jobs and post your resume online at no cost to expand your job search.

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 employees exceeds $67,000. 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.
