I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at US Postal Service (Washington, DC) in Mar 2015
Interview
Phone interview. Interviewer was very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. Very cordial yet professional interviewer. She made me feel comfortable and relaxed. Interviewer was prompt. Scheduled for a 11:00 am call. She called at 10:59.
Took a while to hear back from them once the req closed. But I was glad I did! Had an initial phone screening with two individuals; since that was successful I had an in-person interview with the manager. The manager was easy to talk to and didn’t make the interview stuffy. I appreciated that a lot.

Would I describe myself as somenone who’d rather be prepared for something or do I prefer to just wing it?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at US Postal Service in May 2011
Interview
Interviewers were dressed very casually, too casually for an interview in my opinion. Behavioral based questions, not really interested in your skills or knowledge. Was not told much about the job and its duties, and was rushed out of the interview room after asking a couple of questions. Not a terrible experience, but could have been better.
