I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at US Postal Service in Oct 2014
Interview
I applied online, received an email the following day to take 473 exam. Took the exam 5 days later, scored 81.5. After I completed the exam I was emailed two weeks later with a scheduled interview date. In that time, I was emailed info in regards to the background check and drug test. In a nutshell, it was all a matter of a months timeframe where everything happened. Next step is excepting the position and in processing.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at US Postal Service (Grand Rapids, MI) in Oct 2014
Interview
I first applied online and then had to take an online personality assessment. After that I had one week to schedule and take a proctored assessment at a testing site which I did. You do NOT need to pay for any "practice packages" you might find offered online. They inform you of what each of the three sections of the test are like and the test is pretty straight forward and easy besides the last part which is memorization. But still, I think it'd be pretty difficult to actually fail. After I passed both those I received an email inviting me in for a group interview. Only two other people showed up and it lasted 1.5 hours and consisted of an interviewer and supervisor going over the details of the position and what will happen next in the process. The day of the interview, I received two emails. One was giving information for a background and driving check/history and the other was to set up a drug screening test. After the interview, I immediately drove and did the drug test and before I went into the interview I gave all the information needed for the background check and driving history. Two days later I received an email informing me that my drug test and background check all cleared and I was conditionally offered the job. I need to go in to fill out paperwork and get medically cleared and then they can officially offer me the job. Just a heads up, this is a low end job. You make good money but you're basically a sub-in for other people. And my specific position was a walking position. They cannot guarantee you ANY hours per week and you're basically "on-call" seven days a week. They make it clear that if you take this job, THEY are you're only and number one priority and if called, you better get in and show up, no if's, and's, or but's.
