CASUAL (Temporary) EMPLOYMENT
NO TEST REQUIRED

The Postal Service hires thousands of Casual Temporary Employees from June through December of each year. Postal facilities advertise these openings in local newspapers and now online for all major metropolitan areas. Job announcement opening and closing dates vary by location. For example, this year the Pittsburgh job announcement number 22045 is open from January 1, through May 31, 2008. In California, the dates are from May 26, 2008 through September 26, 2008. Locate and apply for jobs online. You can also ask your local postal clerk if they have a flyer for jobs in your area. These jobs may lead to full time employment. visit our Job Vacancies page for more information. Starting salary ranges form $9.00 to $12.50 an hour.

Casual temporary positions are a good way to familiarize yourself with the Postal Service's work environment and they can lead to full time employment. If they like your work, and keep you for at lest 180 days, you can request to take the Postal Exam; even if none are currently being administered in your area. If you pass the test your name will be added to the current hiring register in rank order for full time employment.

One word of caution. The casual temporary positions schedules are tedious to say the least. They can and do often work casual temps long hours and sometimes 7 days a week during peak mail periods and you are subject to work any and all shifts. It is hard work but if you impress the supervisor and they keep you for up to 180 days you may be able to take the test and get on the full time register. Some positions at  major facilities can last up to two years with a short break between consecutive years.

The federal government employs over 2,704,000 workers and hires over a hundred thousand new employees each year to replace workers that transfer to other federal or private jobs, retire, or stop working for other reasons. Average annual salary of all full-time employees exceeds $56,000. The U.S. Government is the largest employer in the United States, hiring two percent of the nation’s civilian work force. Post Office jobs account for approximately 773,000 of Uncle Sam’s total employment so many civil service opportunities exist for those who know where to look.
