Postal Service Job Fair Coming Up In Healdsburg, More SoCo Cities

HEALDSBURG, CA—The Postal Service urges job seekers to leave their superstitions at the door on Friday, Sept. 13, and attend a job fair that will be thrilling for all the right reasons.

"The best way to predict your future is to create it, and with over 69 participating locations, there is an opportunity to fill nearly 800 positions across the greater Bay Area," said Kristina Uppal, spokesperson for the U.S. Postal Service in the Bay Area.

Applicants can leave their salt and clovers at home but bring a resume and natural charm to one of the participating Bay Area USPS locations from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday, Sept. 13. (Here is a complete list of the participating sites.)

The Postal Service has the most sophisticated mail processing equipment and the best last-mile delivery networks in the world. However, its people move mail through the systems that enable commerce and provide a powerful channel for businesses to sustain economic growth. As part of its innovative and bold 10-year plan, Delivering for America, Uppal said, the Postal Service is committed to cultivating that growth by building a stable and empowered workforce.

According to USPS, here are seven reasons why a job with the Postal Service can be just the luck your career needs:

1. The Postal Service workforce is one of the most diverse in the nation. We look like America, and that is our strength.
2. The Postal Service employs nearly 73,000 military veterans, making it one of the largest employers of veterans in the country
3. As part of the "Delivering for America" plan, the U.S. Postal Service is investing $40 billion nationwide to modernize and revitalize its services.
4. Career Advancement. Opportunities for training, development, and growth are available within the organization.
