Applied online and got an invitation for testing 3 months later.once i passed the online assesment i was invited to take the 463 test 2 days later amd also passed. Once passed i was sent an email offering me an interview a week later in my nearest post office and went, about 150 people showed up and only about 50 people were hired including myself. Once you get an offer you have 48 hrs to fill out an online packet and drug test, once everything is complete they will call you t askin which post office you prefer to work and usually email you ibstructions into when you are going to start and whom to report to.
