      Rural Carrier Associate Interview

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at US Postal Service (Charlottesville, VA) in Sept 2014

      Interview

      Applied for position online. Had to submit to an assessment online - no wrong or right questions - just about your character and values. Several days later drove an hour to site to take 473 exam. Hardest part was memorizing address ranges. Trick to that is constant repetition of viewing, closing eyes and committing each address range to memory. They give you 5 minutes to do that, and you also have a practice session beforehand where the sample address range is the same as it is in the test part that counts. Was able to get test score online when I got home (I scored 81.20). Received email that I was part of a group interview (15-20). We were brought into a room to wait as the 3 interviewers gathered our DMV transcripts and drivers licenses. They came back, every few minutes returning those documents to each applicant. Then they gave a brief overview of the RCA job. It appears the first few applicants interviewed had bad DMV transcripts and were not considered. Interview was calm and professional, but note, many of the beginning questions asked, were items discussed by interviewer, when he gave brief overview of RCA job (like rate of pay, guaranteed hours for RCA, etc.) so PAY ATTENTION! I thought my interview went well...but now I sit and wait for an email....

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      If you were running route, and a customer who normally gets her SS check on the first, did not receive it on the second. It is now the fourth of the month, and still does not have her check delivered by you. Customer is getting very belligerent with you - how would you handle it?

      I interviewed at US Postal Service

      Interview

      Not really an interview. If you pass the background check you have the job. The United States Postal Service does not require a traditional interview. Very easy. I love it here.

      I applied online. I interviewed at US Postal Service (Spokane, WA)

      Interview

      There was no interview. I pretty much just took a test and they sent me back a conditional offer. When I got to my orientation with 3 other people they all had the same experience.
