Hiring and Interview processes were straight forward. However, be prepared to submit to a battery of exams. You must have a minimum score to be considered. Additionally, prospective employees must understand that the USPS expects almost no flexibility with your work schedule.

I had a one on one conversation with an interviewer who went over my resume and explained job expectations and the next steps of the job process. While the interview itself was surprisingly easy, the entire process to get the job was long and difficult. There are six steps, with a little waiting time between each: 1. Postal test (varies depending on the position you're interested in) 2. Application 3. Interview 4. Group orientation - Basically a Powerpoint presentation, with a group of applicants 5. Training - Two weeks of tests that you must pass. 6. Probation - Three months. Come to work, on time. Type fast, low error rate. Time your breaks.
