I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at US Postal Service (Flemington, NJ) in Dec 2014
Interview
Process took about 4 weeks until I got my interview. Interview was more them telling me what the job entails. Everyone was very friendly. It was a group setting, about 30 people, some CCA's some RCA's (rural carrier). You fill out some paperwork, photograph two forms of ID, then they pull you in for an interview. The interview was easy, just basic questions. If you still want the job, they fingerprint you. I was told I was "recommended" for the CCA position and pending no problems with the drug test or background checks, my start date would be either this Monday or the following Monday, so within 2 weeks. Its been 3 days since the interview, I took the drug test same day. I'm waiting for an email to let me know when I start for orientation.
Was told at the interview CCA hourly rate just went up to 15.63 from 15.30. RCA's make a little more per hour (16 something) but get less hours than City Carriers.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Nothing difficult or unexpected. "Did you ever have a job where you had to answer to more than one supervisor and got two different answers? How would you handle that?" "Ever been in a position where you handled money?"
Straight forward explanation of the role requirements and question as to whether the role interests you. You’re given a chance to ask any questions you have about the role and compensation.
I interviewed at US Postal Service (Gettysburg, PA)
Interview
No inter view all online. The application very easy to complete and instant job offer. Easiest job I have ever applied to. Going through the background check process currently now
Easy I just sat down with the post master and we talked for 20 minutes. Not many questions where asked besides why I wanted to work for the post office.
