The process took 2 months. I interviewed at US Postal Service in Mar 2011
Interview
Applied online through USPS website. Created my candidate profile. Applied for position. Completed online testing and testing at a Proctored test site. Got called into group interview, which also included 1 on 1 time. Didn't take it any further from there. I found out that the position carries absolutely no benefits. He told us that getting promoted into a full time position was nearly impossible. He said that you are assigned a specific route and only work that route on the days the normal carrier isn't working. If (s)he suddenly calls in sick, you MUST show up ... even if you have another job since the RCA position doesn't pay enough to live off of.

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.
