The Postal Service dramatically changed the way they recruit and this is
the only book available that describes their new eCareer system
and it guides readers step-by-step through the process. You no longer sign
up to take a test, you apply for specific job vacancies year round. Exams
are still required for most positions however you take a portion of the exam
online when you first apply and a proctored exam on a computer at a local
testing facility within 14 days from the date you first apply.
The new and revised 5th
edition of "Post Office Jobs"
includes a study guide for the new 473 and 473-C Postal Exams and
covers the new eCareer Postal Service hiring process.
It provides all the information needed to locate job vacancies and includes
a comprehensive study guide to prepare for and pass exams with helpful
test-taking strategies to improve test scores. You will be able to explore
all jobs, including jobs that don't require entrance tests. Having worked
35½ years for Uncle Sam, the author provides an insider's perspective on
what it takes to go from job hunter to hired, and everything in between.
Anyone interested in a challenging career, with job security and
excellent pay, needs to explore the lucrative Postal Service job market.
The average annual salary for postal employees, including benefits,
equals $32.17an hour or $66,929 a year. Executives, professional
and administrative employees earn between $21,293 to $110,329 per year.
Those considering a job with the Postal Service will find Damp’s book

regulatory measures. Over the course of 11 chapters and three appendixes,

$24.95. REF
"This popular book had been updated and
expanded with two additional chapters and an appendix to provide all the
information necessary to land a U. S. Postal Service position. Perusable and
thorough, it covers such topics as qualification requirements and
application procedures, job descriptions (including professional,
administrative, and maintenance positions), a pay schedule and description
of benefits, and information on hiring preferences for veterans. Over a
third of the book is devoted to testing, with realistic sample exams as well
as tips and answer keys. Also included are a chapter on interviewing and
complete list of the 2000 job classifications available through the postal
service, including the occupation code, total number of positions, and the
pay grade. Appendixes include a job hunter's checklist, lists of corporate
positions, and copies of official application forms. Links are provided for
further updates. Recommended for public and community college libraries."
