I applied in-person. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at US Postal Service (Clinton, TN) in Apr 2015
Interview
I applied online, immediately received an email to take online assessment which I did. The next day received an email to schedule 473 exam, took that and passed with a 79.10. About 3 weeks later received email to take drug test and background which I did. Next day received email for interview. There were 6 others there but the interview was 1 on 1. Questions were easy, I feel I did great but then after the interview, she explained how even if she likes an applicant there are other factors like, veterans preference and people with a higher score so and if I don't hear anything keep trying and they also have other areas that are hiring, so that doesn't sound so good but, whatever. I guess it wasn't for me but I will keep trying since I did apply at other facilities too.
Also, they said we would have to deliver mail from our own vehicle.
No interview. Received an email with a job offer and orientation was scheduled a few weeks later. Called the postmaster on the job listing to get more information in between the offer and orientation.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
No questions were asked as there was not an interview process.
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.
