You should consider sucking off the postman, deliver his package straight to uranus.

I'm a young bachelor with no family, so I can handle the long hours. Also, they're paying $14-17/hr (depending on the position), so it beats working at Walmart for $9.50/hr.

Anyways, how the fuck do all the old women who run the post office get a job at the USPS if they can't pass the test? Or am I just so abnormally slow at this task that I'm slower than even them?

Take the test in the original post's link and tell me what you get.

UNIONS FUCK EVERYTHING UP

Get extra points on the postal exam.

That's the biggest help.

op - i was stressed to shit when i took that test, but it's really not that hard. i got an 83 i think. there are some tricks to get a better score.

address checking is super easy
form completion is super easy
the coding is easy

memory is the hardest part

the trick is that the coding and memory use the same exact streets/ranges. so what you do is you memorize during the coding part (finish quick and then memorize until time runs out). then there is a gap where you won't see anything on the screen, but it waits for you to click "next" so you can literally just repeat all the shit over and over in your head for as long as you want until you've got it in your mind.

i think there might also be a practice exercise before the memory , which you can also use to memorize. might be the same ranges as on the actual exam, but i don't remember.

the actual exam is like a powerpoint slide show. so you hit next.

Dude, it's a fucking test. Practice it over and over again and you can do just fine, like virtually any test.

I'm under the impression that a shit ton of postal workers are ex-military, and they are preferred over all civilians as is the case with all federal jobs. US Post is going to be downsizing pretty soon anyway.

If you can get in, it would be OK but I'd be weary of making a career out of delivering mail They're thinking of cutting down delivery to only five days per week as it is. After we get that, it's going to be a slippery slope till we get to the point where mail carriers aren't needed at all.

It was my dream to work in the lost mail room before. Prob still not a bad idea considering package delivery is up.

If the post office closes the entire "e-commerce" model will collapse overnight.

The only way that FedEx and UPS make any money is that they can either offload last mile delivery to the post office or they can handle last mile delivery themselves and avoid the logistics of carrying the package.

This is not even considering that most FedEx and UPS facilities would be unable to handle letters or other small belt incompatible items, as well the demands placed upon the remaining common carriers by Congress would be massive.

So don't count on it and don't hope for it.
