At the interview there was at least 40-50 applicants. Each one of us was interviewed 1on 1 by a locate postmaster of that division. Interview questions for simple, they basically wanted to know if you are willing and able to work in all weather conditions. Additional questions were asked but not that hard. Just tell the true!! If the Postmaster found you a good fit for the company , you were taking to the next step which was filling out various paperwork. If he/she did not find you a fit you were told that you will be contacted and sent on your way.

I received a Conditional Offer Letter though e-mail sometime shortly. Overall the process was December-Early February . Hope this Helps, Good Luck
