It depends on if you want to be indoors all day, or both in and out. Also, do you think you would want to sort mail, deliver mail, or serve customers at the counter? Each job at the Post Office (Clerk, Mail Sorter, City Carrier, Rural Carrier) are good entry level jobs. Just depends on what you think you would be happiest doing, and a big factor, too, is what jobs are open?
Go to www.usps.com and select the link for employment to find out which offices are hiring and for which jobs. Also, visit any post offices that you want to work at, ask for the Postmaster, and inquire about any job openings. Make sure you state that you would like to know about any "temporary" or "casual" positions open. This is the quickest way to get your foot in the door, and later you would most likely become a full time employee. I started out as a relief carrier, 12 1/2 years ago.
Hope this helps you, and good luck!

Everything that cmail said is very true. I started as a rural relief carrier 27 years ago and am now a postmaster.
The easist entry level position to get is TRC/RCA which is a rural carrier relief job. The downside is that you may have to provide a vehicle to deliver the mail with. The upside is that you can probably get this position quickly whereas you might have to wait a long time for the clerk/city carrier test to be given.
Most distribution centers (plants) are hiring for Christmas help right now. This is a temporary position, usually working at night where you would mostly be sorting and loading parcels. In this area it pays between $13.00 -$17.00 per hour. If you're interested in this type of work, check out the bulletin board at your local post office or speak to your postmaster.
Good Luck

As long as you pass the driving exam, you can defer the hiring for the RCA position. It sounds like the local office is trying to push you through. They might be desperate. I'd take the driving test and then tell the hr USPS personnel that you are not available for hiring until the next orientation period. USPS HR and your potential postmaster should respect your desire to give two weeks notice. They would expect at least the same. Don't let them threaten you--the job of an RCA will always be there. If they get really gruffy, you don't want to work in that office!

The best position available is the City Letter Carrier.
1) City Letter Carriers are paid by the hour, unlike rural carriers
2) City Letter Carriers have a Union that works " "
3) City Letter Carriers are in demand " "
4) City Letter Carriers get all paid holidays " "
5) City Letter Carriers get much more exercise than clerks
6) City Letter Carriers are not being downsized like clerks

I would have to say on a route, at least you get outside(although sometimes the weather sucks) I think it all depends on the person everybody is different. And by the way the Post Master runs the post office not the front desk those are clerks, unless you are in Podunk, Texas (no offense to Texas if there is one)
