Postal Letter

How do I get a job as a casual postal carrier?

I was told the post office isn't having a test for full time mail carriers for a while, but I should look into casual work. My question is: How do I find out if they are hiring casual workers? The post office website never seems to update the job section. SHould I just walk into several post offices in my area and ask the manager? If anyone works for the post office and can give me any info, that would be great!

1. It depends on where you live. If you live in a small town with only one post office I would go in and ask them, if that is not where you apply they should be able to tell you where. If you live in a big city then look in the phone book in the blue government pages. They should have a number listed for employment information. You will get a recorded message telling you what positions they are hiring for and where. At least that is the way it is in my district, but the city I live in is where the Post Office's District offices are located. The country is split up into 90 different Post Office Districts, so each District may have a different method of doing it, I'm not sure. If you don't find anything listed call 1-800-275-8777, they should be able to direct your call.
