U.S. Postal Service Holding Job Fairs In Lake Elsinore, Murrieta

SOUTHWEST RIVERSIDE COUNTY, CA — The U.S. Postal Service is looking to fill 60 job openings in Riverside and San Diego counties, so the agency announced Wednesday it will hold career fairs — including in Lake Elsinore and Murrieta — to staff up.

Among the openings are rural carrier associate and assistant rural carrier positions. The jobs entail providing mail delivery and pickup service to customers in rural and suburban communities. Detailed descriptions of rural carrier associate and assistant rural carrier jobs are available online via the USPS portal.

"The available positions, which offer starting pay of $20.38 an hour, are ideal for candidates who enjoy being active and working independently outdoors with occasional customer service interactions and are a first step that could lead to long-term careers for the Postal Service," according to the USPS.

The job fairs will be held locally from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Aug. 29 at the Lake Elsinore Post Office, 500 W. Graham Ave., and the Murrieta Post Office, 39571 Los Alamos.

The USPS is also holding job fairs in north San Diego County scheduled the same date and times at the Escondido Main Post Office, 1157 W. Mission Ave.; the San Marcos Post Office, 420 North Twin Oaks Valley Road; and the Vista Main Post Office, 960 Postal Way.

The USPS said it will have personnel on-site at all the job fairs to answer questions, assist potential applicants, and provide detailed information about available positions.

Applicants can bring laptops, iPads or tablets with a hotspot to receive assistance in applying for USPS employment.

Those unable to attend the job fairs can apply online at www.usps.com/careers.
