Experiences at USPS

Persistence

All the different changed that happen so often.

I started as a casual clerk at a small office. I would help ouot in areas they were short in. I would help sort mail and put in the post office boxes. I did this for as many terms as I was allowed while waiting to get an interview. I was hired as an RCA first and did that for about 2 years. I was then hired as a clerk. I have been doing this for over 12 years. I sort the mail, work the retail window, supervise, do the financial paperwork and anything that needs to be done....

You have to take a test and get your name on a register according to your score. You choose offices in which you would like to be employed. If they are hiring, your name if it is in the top,gets pulled from the register. You go for an interview.

SPBS 226 Dulles Virginia. Those people were the best!

When I was 19 I was going into the Airforce. I found out my mother had cancer, and I didn't go. The next month the Post Office called and asked if I wanted to start.
