US Postal Service interview questions

The hiring process has changed since I was hired in 1997. When I applied, all I had to provide at first was my name, address, and social security number. USPS contacted me to take a test with a sample test enclosed. After taking the test, I was contacted to complete my application, which was very detailed. I had to take a drug test and they did a background check. There was only one interview and it didn't seem like an interview. I was basically briefed on what it would be like to work at the post office. If you've worked for the military, you'll probably adjust easily. Most supervisors are military.

Applied online and got a call from HR manager about a week later to set up an interview. Went into to the interview had to get a card and sign in. I was then told that I needed to go across the street to the other building and swipe the card to get into that building and to a certain room where interviews were being held. Got into that building and I went to that room and then was directed to another room (which wasn't the correct room either). Finally found the correct room and there was a man and lady in their chatting. They told me that I was early and the person that was interviewing me wasn't there yet and to sit outside. While sitting outside another woman came up and the lady that was inside chatting asked her to come in and interviewed her while I'm still waiting outside. About 10 mins after this the women who interviews me comes in, she asks me what my availability is and tells me about the job. The entire interview lasts about 7 mins... time spent at USPS is about an hour. She tells me that I if I am selected I will be e-mailed with further direction and that I will be put on a list until they are ready and able to hire me. A week later I get an e-mail with the information needed to complete the background check. And a today I received information about where I need to go in order to complete my drug test.
