How do I apply for an exam with the post office?

This site is not affiliated with the USPS. This information is provided solely as an informational resource.


Mail Handlers, Clerks, Carriers, Mechanics and other employees, are classified as Mail Processing Jobs in the United States Postal Service. To work for the USPS (Post Office) you should look in local papers, college campus employment boards, or other forms of media for announcement notices.




The best way to keep up with upcoming employment with the Postal Service is the employment site of the USPS. itself. The URL is: http://www.usps.com/employment/ .





If you do not have an announcement number, but would like to see what jobs are open you can click "continue" or you can go here:


https://wd2-portal.usps.gov/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/hrrcf_a_unreg_job_search



Once you have been directed to this page, you will enter the "State" in which you would like to work. If any exams are open, they will be listed here. Note: JOBS OPEN AND CLOSE QUICKLY - CHECK THIS SITE EVERY 7 - 10 DAYS!!



Once you select a "State" click "continue". If there are any positions open, you will click on the "announcement number". You will then add your personal information. Sometime after that, you will be mailed an employment package detailing the date, time, and place of the exam. This package will additionally contain a practice exam. We suggest at least one practice to familiarize yourself with the test. DO NOT BE LATE OR YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED IN!! After the exam you will be mailed your results.

Be skeptical of online ads offering postal jobs

Be skeptical of online ads offering postal jobs
"..."Postal Inspectors warn that if you should call these promoters for "employment information," you are probably going to very disappointed. In most instances, you will find that you are going to have to pay about $30 to receive information of very dubious value. The con artists may lead you to believe you are talking to someone from the U.S. Postal Service, but no postal jobs will be offered."
