I applied online. I interviewed at US Postal Service in Oct 2020
Interview
Due to Covid, there was essentially no interview process. I applied for the position, was quickly invited to take an assessment and was contacted to complete a background check and fingerprinting at one of their facilities. This all occured within 2-3 weeks at the beginning of November. Then, did not hear anything until yesterday (Feb. 1) which they notified me about an orientation to attend. Overall the process had me questioning if this was the right organization for me. I was really never updated throughout the process, and at times was very frustrated that there is not really a way to locate contact information for anyone. Eventually I found myself driving to various local Post Offices attempting to find someone who could lead me in the right direction.

Question 1
Only thing asked of me was if I would be comfortable driving one of the USPS mail trucks and that I would be able to provide a clean driving record.
no formal in person interview. Once application was complete they send you a few tasks to be done by a certain time,once that is done they schedule orientation. You have to pass a federal background check,and must have a drivers license.

I applied online. I interviewed at US Postal Service (Pearl River, NY) in Mar 2026
Interview
The interview is all online, extremely easy and quick. Select from multiple choice and you are then offered a job with forms to fill out and fingerprinting. Then you are called and bring 2 forms of Identification with you
Easy. Just pass the assessment then you have the job. Sometimes it may be a slow hiring process but long as you can pass a background check, you’re fine. Good luck
