1. you take a postal exam. those who score the highest get job offers 1st . if you score low you will not be called but you can retake exam next cycle
2. You will be hired as a sub. Provided you do not have a shady background. After you take the postal exam you can then qualify for a permeate position. That should be within a few years as postal carriers have a higher turn over than other positions.
3. You do have to take and score high on the postal exam in order to be hired as a "career" employee with the USPS. If you haven't taken the test, then this isn't a "career" position with the USPS. Unless you are a veteran, the exam is not given very often. I believe you are interviewing for a position as a "casual" or "transitional" employee. "Casuals" receive low pay and no benefits. "Transitionals" receive decent pay and some benefits. Neither of these will improve your chances of being hired as a "career" employee. And if you haven't been told already, you will be asked to take a drug test.
