I applied online. The process took 8 months. I interviewed at US Postal Service (Perrysburg, OH) in Jan 2014
Interview
I was asked to take the 473 postal exam in September of 2014, I was emailed the results within a half hour of finishing the exam. In December of 2014 I received an email to go take the drug test and mail in my background check paper work within 3 to 5 business days. I received a phone call to set up an interview in January 2015. The interview was average and maybe lasted 10 or 15 minutes, there were also several other people there to interview for the same position as me. After my interview I was taken to another room where I filled out a thick stack of paperwork. Once I finished the paperwork almost an hour after my interview, I gave my paperwork to the hiring manager and asked when I would know if I got the job. She said I would know within 2 weeks through an email or phone call, I received my email notifying me that I was not chosen, at the end of April 2015 and my interview was at the beginning of January 2015.
