Job Fair Coming Up At San Jose Post Office

SAN JOSE, CA — With hundreds of positions to fill across the Bay Area, the U.S. Postal Service is hosting several job fairs this month — including in San Jose — to help seed a blossoming career for the next generation of U.S. Postal Service employees.

"As part of our innovative and bold 10-year plan, Delivering for America, the Postal Service is committed to cultivating that growth by building a stable and empowered workforce," said Kristina Uppal, spokesperson for the USPS in the Bay Area.

Specifically, the Postal Service has an immediate need for the following positions to be filled:

• Mail Processing: Clerks and Mail Handlers
• Delivery: City and Rural Carriers
• Transportation: Tractor-Trailer Operators
• Maintenance: Mechanics, Laborer Custodian and Automotive Technician

The Postal Service offers health and retirement benefits, good pay, stable employment, training, and the ability for career advancement.

At each job fair, applicants will be guided through the entire online application process by USPS staff, hear from real employees and submit their applications in real-time.

Applicants must be 18 years of age —or 16 years of age with a high school diploma or GED— and must be able to pass drug screening and a criminal background investigation. Some positions also require an exam. Any position that has a driving requirement will also require a valid driver's license and a clean two-year driving history with the DMV. Citizenship or permanent resident status of five years is required.
