I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at US Postal Service (Grand Rapids, MI) in Aug 2015
Interview
I applied online for a carrier position in March of 2015. I was emailed to take the exam on April 20th; I passed. On July 7th, I was asked to give consent to a background check through email if I was still interested in the position and I had 3 days to respond to that. I then received a group email to attend an interview on August 14th with about 30 other candidates for the same position. I assumed that the interview went great! Subsequently, I was told to make sure I be looking out for an email. Today is September 2, 2015 and I have not heard anything else so far. However, I do look forward to getting another email with instructions for the next move in the hiring process as I was not told that I officially had the job or did not have the job upon leaving. My anxiety level right now is through the roof! But, I guess it is just a really long process. Well, with it being a government job and all. But, the overall process so far has been smooth sailing.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
"Have you ever worked outside in any or all weather conditions?"
"If a supervisor asked you to do something, yet another supervisor stopped you and told you to do something else, what would you do"?
"How would you handle a supervisor that is not so nice to you"?
"Give me an example of how you dealt with unruly customers"?
"How would you handle a situation where a customer accused you of not delivering their mail on time, but you are just covering a shift?"
The interview process is not traditional. You meet with a bunch of other people and watch video's and take a driving course. If you pass the driving course you are hired for the job. If you fail... You have to repeat the course again and re- apply
