I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at US Postal Service (Minneapolis, MN) in Jun 2023
Interview
There was no interview. You apply online, and they do a background check before ultimately calling you in to do I9 paperwork. The person will tell you that you're going to end up working 60-80 hours, and then you're hired.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Are you okay with potentially working 60-80 hours?
The United States Postal Service typically does not conduct formal job interviews. Instead, applicants are evaluated based on online assessments, background checks, and meeting job eligibility and qualification requirements. You only need to apply.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at US Postal Service (Lima, OH)
Interview
I wouldn't call it an interview. They basically call you once they've decided on you. Then tell you what the job title is, explain the position, and the hours you can expect to work. And then they ask if you are ok with that and want to proceed before they set up your in person interview, which is the same thing except in person. Then they will fingerprint you. Once all that gets processed along with your background you will get an email to let you know when and where your training is.

Question 1
As a PTF (Part-Time Flexible), you will be working 6 days a week (including Sundays) with lots of overtime...Are you ok with that?
I applied online. I interviewed at US Postal Service (San Mateo, CA) in Oct 2024
Interview
There is no interview process. Employment was offered after a federal background check is passed and fingerprinting is completed at the HR office in San Francisco within 10 days of conditional offer online.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
No questions were asked. A "meet and greet" was schedule after a conditional employment offer was sent. A manager/supervisor meets with the new hire, and then orientation is scheduled as part of training. The manager will explain the expectations and day-to-day activities with USPS, and then ask they if any of what they detailed poses any issue or problem for you? The manager/supervisor will get a chance to know you better during this process.
