I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at US Postal Service (Pontiac, MI) in Jul 2015
Interview
Applied online, did an online assessment for personality that day. Next day got an invite to take a proctored exam within 5 days. Took that, scored 86.2. Waited 2 weeks, checking email every day and applying for specific jobs every couple of days that popped up within my area, got an email invite to interview. Gotta wait 1.5 more weeks to know whether I got it because the postmaster for where I interviewed has a training next week. I'm on the hiring list for a couple positions now, and have quite a few more "In Process" still.
I was in the interview from start to finish 1/2 hour. Smaller cities have different interview processes than larger ones. This was not a mass hire post office.
No offer yet, but like I said, I have to wait.
Straight forward explanation of the role requirements and question as to whether the role interests you. You’re given a chance to ask any questions you have about the role and compensation.

Easy I just sat down with the post master and we talked for 20 minutes. Not many questions where asked besides why I wanted to work for the post office.
