Applied online usps.com and clicked on Careers. Filled out a profile and searched for jobs in my area. Once I applied for the desired job. I was sent an email to take a test about myself. Then immediately afterwards prompted to pick a time and date to take the 473 test. You can show up earlier and take the test. Everything will be locked up and you will be seated at a computer. The test is timed. You may go back and change your answer if you have time. Fairly easy, except for the last part. You will be given four addresses...example A-2345-7899 Ian Way, B-7977-8299 Ian Way, D-Does not belong etc. Then they will ask what section the address belongs. 7926 Ian Way will be the question. You will have to remember if it was A, B, C or D. You will get an email within minutes of finishing the test with your score and the positions you are eligible. I scored an 84 and was eligible for everything. One week went by for a group interview. Approx. 30 people in the group with five supervisors from different areas spoke and answered questions. If you have any tickets on your record for the past five years, don't apply. They will not mind a parking ticket. Then one on one interviews. They did say that this is the most difficult position. You could get a route that will require you to walk seven miles...in any weather. No air conditioning in the trucks. They asked me to tell them about myself. How I felt about dogs, snakes, spiders. They also asked me to describe a problem at work with a co-worker and how I handled the situation. Five days later, I received an email for a drug and background check. Two weeks later I received the call to come in and sign the paper work.
