      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at US Postal Service (Houston, TX) in Apr 2016

      Interview

      VERY SLOW PROCESS!! The 1st few times I applied I didn't get a chance to take the test . Then Finally I saw the posting for the 770 zip codes , I applied on 3/27 . Got the email for 2 unproctored exams.. Personality & one other (Timed) & you had to pass both , took both then same day got email to take the proctored 473 exam which had to be taken at a testing location & was nowhere near me Took the 1st one that came 1st . Went in on 3/29 to take the test & made a 83.10. On 4/8 I got 3 emails for my driving test , background which had to be done in 72 hrs. Then for the drug test you have 72 hrs to schedule then 72 hrs from the date you scheduled so I took mines on 4/13. I got a email at 9:02 pm This past Monday 4/25 saying I was invited to a interview for Friday 4/29 @ 10AM . When I Say It wasn't as long as I thought . Got there at 9:30 , signed in , filled out paperwork got copies of my ssc & DL . Turned it in , sat down then got called in to sign & date my application , sat back down then got called for my interview. She went over brief expectations & asked was I willing to do this !& that & the pay .. Then the actual interview started . Just say once I said I worked for Amazon (which is connected to the post office) she just started filling out my interview questions & recommended me ON SPOT & gave me a paper for my fingerprints which had to be done the same day & told me to keep checking my email about orientation . By 10:30 I was already out the door headed home! Btw NO GROUP INTERVIEW!

      I interviewed at US Postal Service

      Interview

      Not really an interview. If you pass the background check you have the job. The United States Postal Service does not require a traditional interview. Very easy. I love it here.

      I applied online. I interviewed at US Postal Service (Spokane, WA)

      There was no interview. I pretty much just took a test and they sent me back a conditional offer. When I got to my orientation with 3 other people they all had the same experience.
