I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at US Postal Service in Oct 2014
Interview
I applied online the 21st of August 2014. I received an email on the next day telling me I need to complete a 2 part test. I did the first part online, then was given further instructions on going to the facility to take the second part on a computer on August 27. I received an email stating i had passed both portions of the test and then was instructed to go for a urine screen on August 29. On september 30 I received an email stating I was scheduled for the pse position on October 1st. I went to the interview and set in a conference room, was given a packet of paperwork to complete, then was finger printed and asked to wait. After about 10 minutes I was taken in to an office and asked a series of questions and why i want to work for the postal service. The interview was pretty short and was easy. I was offered the position and told what my pay rate will be. I am waiting for my email that tells me my exact hours and location I am being placed.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
None of the questions were difficult, just basic common knowledge questions.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at US Postal Service (Indianapolis, IN)
Interview
I applied about a month ago & was told to go take an online assessment. no need to study for you, just do the best you can. About a month later I recieved an email saying I had an interview. The interview was not really an interview. Multiple people were part of the interview. During the "interview", all the candidates were instructed to fill out tons of paperwork. within the paperwork there were typical interview questions to be answered but instead of answering out loud you were instructed to write your responses on the paper. Very laid back atmosphere
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at US Postal Service
Interview
You have to get your fingerprints done and a background check is done by a company called GIS. Once you are going for interview, have to check to see if you can lift at least 50 lbs and need to have computer knowledge to do your close outs at end of day for all postage sales, money orders done and packages mailed out. Packages have to be scanned in steps of arrival, attempts to notify customer and delivery and the scanner docked to headquarters on daily intervals to keep track of all scans and tracking numbers. Lots of sorting and lifting. Sometimes will have to measure odd shaped packages and know international postage. Lots to remember. I suggest write everything down and keep in a binder to refer to later.
