I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at US Postal Service (Concord, NH) in May 2015
Interview
1 on 1 style, very easy going. The interviewer gave a description of what the job entailed, the commitment to usps meaning if they call you on a non scheduled day to work and you can't come in, then you will be let go. Another thing she mentioned, they have closed once in past 20 years due to weather. That's something to consider if you live 30 miles away or so and have a 4am starting shift on a winter day. If you live in the boonies like me that means being on the road when most snow plows haven't even hit the roads yet

I applied in-person. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at US Postal Service in Feb 2019
Interview
I completed an application online. If you haven’t already taken the postal exam that would usually be the next step; they will send you an email to schedule and appointment. You will also receive emails from Geninfo.com , to set up your drug test as well as request info for your background check (so don’t be alarmed ) . Interview super easy, simple

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at US Postal Service (Reno, NV)
Interview
I actually haven't been interviewed yet. I applied 3/17/2016 and took the online assessment the same day, then immediately after got an email inviting me to schedule a proctored assessment, which I took 3/24. I scored an 86.7 and 3/28 I received emails for drug tests and a background check which I responded to immediately. I took my drug test 3/29 and since then my status hasn't changed from Pre- Hire list, but I haven't received a much anticipated e-mail to do an interview yet. I called GIS and they informed me that both my drug test results and background check results were sent to the post office 3/29. So now I'm just not so patiently waiting.
