I applied for the post office Nov 17, 2016 and received an assessment test immediately, which I took. I then received an invite to take the postal exam. I completed the exam on Nov 23 and passed with a 85. Don't know if that's good enough at this point as I'm not a vet. I received a email for a DMR request on Nov 28th, which I completed immediately. I have not gotten a request for a drug test as of yet. I received a welcome candidate for an interview on Nov 30th for an interview Dec 6th. I went to the interview yesterday. There were 10 people that applied or I should say that showed up. After explaining a few details they took us in one by one to be interviewed. The first question was am I a veteran? They explained to me that vets got preference and they weren't sure how many of us are at the moment and they would be only hiring 2 or 3 people immediately. The rest would be put on a list and it still goes by veterans pref and then score. She explained that I could be on the list for months if I wasn't chosen now. She also explained that the sky was the limit with the post office once you got in but again vets get preference. I don't know what to think. She told me that she was putting me down as recommended but when I got home it stated "not selected" on the portal. So I guess I'm on the 'list". I'm trying not to get discouraged but I didn't realize the impact of not being a vet was. I know that they get a 10 point advantage but I didn't realize the grand scope of things. I'm glad the post office favors vets but let us citizens get a chance too.

Pour, there was no interview. Everyone is welcome to apply for this”government ” job. I personally think that the whole process should be changed. Employees should be the face of this company.
