I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at US Postal Service in May 2016
Interview
The entire process took about a month. I applied for the CCA position on 4/27. After turning in the app, I was sent an email to take the personality test immediately after. After that was complete, I was sent an email to schedule a time to take the 473 exam which I took on 5/4 and scored a 83.40 so a good score nonetheless. On 5/10 I was sent an email to submit my vehicle record check through an email. Two days later I was sent my Backround check and Drug test email to submit. I took the Drug test on 5/13. I was then called to have an intervew on 5/23 and had my interview that friday. The interview itself is a breeze as long as your a dedicated worker and have some sense of customer service and willing to work in a physical environment. I was called four days later to be informed I will be given the position and the email to accept on 6/2. So a long process but def worth the wait if you are set on working for the post office. I also have 2 other interviews for a couple other branches that I applied for.
