I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at US Postal Service (Cleveland, OH) in Oct 2014
Interview
I was sent an email from HR asking for me to submit to a background check and drug test. Once I completed the drug test, I filled out the paperwork online for the background check consent. About 1 week later I was sent an email and asked to come in for an interview about 3 days prior. Very unprofessional email comprised of none of the information I needed (address, what to bring, who to ask for, how to get in a secure building). I had to reply to the email to get this information. Once I was given the information I went to the interview. I met with Eileen on Orange Ave in Cleveland Ohio. I sat and waited for her for about 30 minutes before she came to the lobby to get me. I was sat down in a cubical and given w4 and I9 and other misc paperwork. I filled out the forms then was taken into a separate area and was finger printed. Once I was done I was told to report to orientation that following Monday. Orientation was 3 days long. I was told to report to the airport after that.

Question 1
Have you ever been convicted of a felony (they do hire felons as long as it wasn't for theft). I wasn't asked any other questions.
I applied online. I interviewed at US Postal Service (Fresno, CA)
Interview
It wasn’t too intimidating. Background checks were conducted. Finger printing. A lot of formalities. This was prior to the holiday parcel rush so it was pretty quick easy and efficient. I don’t remember the interview process being too hard either.
