I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at US Postal Service in Apr 2013
Interview
The hiring process went a lot faster than expected. I applied online and had to take a civil service exam before I would be considered for the position. I passed the test with flying colors and a couple weeks later I was called to set up an in person interview. After the fairly informal interview process during which the manager was already speaking as if I already had the position I was told it would be around 3 weeks before I would hear back from their central office as to whether I was selected. Apparently the manager you interview with only makes a hiring recommendation and then the central office makes the final decision. It was only about a week and a half and I received a call that they were offering me the position.

Question 1
This was a pretty easy interview actually. I can't recall any questions being particularly difficult.
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.
