I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at US Postal Service
Interview
After applying I got an email instructing me where to go and when for the exam, pretty quick after I applied. I took my exam, and got the results right away. Got emails to do background checks and drug test. Did all that. Got an email for interview for one place for city carrier first. Went to that interview. Explained to me the vets get first pick and they sent her 20 applicants for one opening and three are vets. She gave me lots of info and assured me to keep putting apps in and going to interviews even if I dont get that job. Never did recieve an email saying I didnt get the job from HR like I was suppose to. I got another interview for RCA, went to that interview, was super easy. A week later got an offer of employment which I accepted. Then the post master called me to come do some paperwork about a week after that. The longest part was waiting for my start date which took another month. This is not a short process, it does take sometime.
No interview. Received an email with a job offer and orientation was scheduled a few weeks later. Called the postmaster on the job listing to get more information in between the offer and orientation.

Question 1
No questions were asked as there was not an interview process.
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)
Interview
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.
