I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at US Postal Service (Rockford, IL) in May 2013
Interview
Involved process, long application online. Study for the #473 exam BEFORE you fill out your online app, because once you finish your app, you will get just a few days to take the test. Test is not something you can just take cold, get a book and get a system for remembering stuff, series of tests, the last test is the killer. Then, keep applying for other local locations in your area. Once you pass the test, you will get calls, a few weeks, then it is only 1 or 2 days a week at best. might be completely on call for 6 days. no guaranteed day. no benes. between 14-18$ an hour. It is hard work, and be prepared to use your own car. Must be able to sit in the middle and drive, no stick shifts or bulky consoles. The interviews are easy,but you are not the only one applying for the job so make an impression. then the drug test and background check. And then you wait. all communication for me was done online via email. Test score is instant email. If score is under 70 take it over. I am waiting for results of BG check.

How do you deal with difficult employees and customers
No interview. Received an email with a job offer and orientation was scheduled a few weeks later. Called the postmaster on the job listing to get more information in between the offer and orientation.

Question 1
No questions were asked as there was not an interview process.
Not really an interview. If you pass the background check you have the job. The United States Postal Service does not require a traditional interview. Very easy. I love it here.
I applied online. I interviewed at US Postal Service (Spokane, WA)
Interview
There was no interview. I pretty much just took a test and they sent me back a conditional offer. When I got to my orientation with 3 other people they all had the same experience.
