Interview
After doing the online app, you have to take the postal exam, they pick those who scored among the highest, than you will either have a group interview or individual unterview, they dont really ask many questions, its more of them telling you what to expect on the job. (especially in a large office) smaller offices may have more questions. The PO has veterans preference so if you are interviewing with a veteran sorry they will get the job before you. Once hired you have a week of training and than the job begins.
