I want to know if study materials to take the us postal test is recommemded or needed? How do you know the study guides are for real? How do you make sure you are not being used or someone is taking your money? Does anyone know the process for applying for a job at the post office?

You can go to the USPS.COM website. They list all job openings and the requirements. Once you have decided on which job you want to apply for they will send you via mail the location and materials needed for the exam. Good Luck!

I took the exam about 5 years ago .. I don't know where you live at but here in NYC you can pick up the newspaper "The Chief" and they can tell you about civil service/government exams coming up. Either that or go to you local Post Office and ask. BTW, I passed the exam but turned it down. As for study materials, most of it was common sense but you can go to a book store like Barnes and Noble's Civil Service exam section and there's a prep book for the post office. Good luck.

The only thing I got useful out of taking a course on the postal exam was useful on one section. There's a part of the test that requires you to memorize five address ranges. The course said to memorize only the first four. If you didn't recognize an address then it would go in number 5 range.
Be aware that the test is rigged. Minorities get extra points added as do veterans. If you're not in a minority group or a veteran unless you're in an area devoid of them you're not going to get hired no matter how well you do on the tests. There's a reason most postal employees are black women veterans.

It's a civil service/union job, so there's an application and test. I would ask the local post office or go to their website about employment details and/or possible study materials. Their website is www.usps.gov.

Is there a contact determination to call to ascertain what occurs next after taking the exam? Or it is only a waiting sport? I regarded on-line and observed that i became on the hiring list, yet i am going to't get in contact with a actual stay individual to inform me what comes next. i pick some solutions.

You do have to take an exam and you can apply online, is the best way and then they set a date for applicants who have sent an application to take the exam the best thing you can do is go to the us postal web site and go to the bottom of the page and click on jobs
