I heard it pays well, but you can only get a job if a member of your family works there already.

Sugar, you have to take the civil service exam, it takes about 4 hrs,
mostly english and spelling, just a general test, and try and get good score
they put you on a waiting list determined by your test score. Apply at your local
P.O. Good pay , benefits, and retirement.------C Ray

Depends on the area you are seeking employment. My brother had to work without full time status or his own route for about 4 years. That didn't mean he didn't work full time hours, but he didn't qualify for full benefits. He lived in Northern Virginia near Dulles Airport. I live in the Shenandoah valley and getting a job as a postal carrier here is a little easier. Gettin a job in the mail room...I'm not sure what it is like.

Thats not true at all. Just get in touch with the Post office and ask for current job openings.

I agree it is hard to get into a job at the post office but then with all the foreign labour working cheap. It is harder to get any job even part time.
