Although, the United States Postal Service did not officially begin operations until 1971, it has existed in one form or another since Benjamin Franklin, using the Continental Congress, appointed the first Post Master in 1775. Since then the postal service has reliably delivered packages and letters across the country and eventually the world. Employees of the United States Post Office enjoy a renowned job security which is known far and wide. This makes the United States Post Office an attractive destination for job hunters.

One can apply to a variety of positions with the United States Post Office through their site. Applicants may eventually have to take an exam depending on the position but only if their application passes approval and they are invited to take an exam. To begin, Applicants may go to www.usps.com then click on the ‘Careers’ link at the bottom of the page. This will direct the browser to an introduction page explaining what it is like to work in the USPS and the benefits involved. There are several links which will provide information to interested applicants. There is a link to ‘Search Jobs’ and ‘Apply Online’ near the top right of the page. Once clicked this will open a pop up job search window.

Here, applicants may choose to search for available opportunities by state and job title. That is, one can select administration in NY for their search. There is a choice to select only one criteria or none. Applicants may opt to keep the criteria blank if they wish to maximize the search results. The search results may be filtered or put into ascending or descending order according to position, location or job function.
