I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at US Postal Service (Belleville, IL) in Jun 2016
Interview
Applied online. Got test notifications (473, drug, and personality) a few weeks later by email. Took and passed all tests and asked to interview a little more than a month after initial online application was submitted. The interview was very straight forward; it was individual, record related questions were asked (things like have you ever been convicted/charged with a crime) but only a couple job related questions, and the job description and hiring process were gone over. Interviewer was very friendly and informative.
