There are 2 basic ways to get hired initially at the Post Office. Both ways can lead to a career of a steady high paying income. The quickest way to get started is to be alert to signs that are usually posted on postal doors right before holiday seasons. This is classified as "seasonal or casual work". Following the instructions on the sign can help you get your "foot in the door".

The help wanted sign will usually instruct you to obtain an application. It will state where you may obtain it. It will also tell you what your additional job requirements will be such as obtaining a copy of your driving record at the local police department. If you have a lot of moving violations on your record during the last 5 years, it may be difficult for you to qualify for a position as a carrier, which is usually the quickest entrance job in the Post Office. Don't despair because there are other positions available too.

After you pick up your job application, gather everything that is required such as your social security card and driver's license. After you drop off or mail your application, you will receive a letter in the mail explaining which positions are available and where to report to for your initial job interview. You will be given a physical and questionnaire. They are very important for you to pass.

The second way to get hired is to go to www.usps.com and sign up for a postal test. The testing method takes longer to get hired. If you pass the test, you will be put on a registry for about 2 years. When a great deal of workers are needed, you may be one of the lucky few to get an interview. Dress very neatly and act like you really want the job.
