Should I LIE on my Post Office Job Application ?
They'll find out even if you didn't disclose it. If you paid taxes from a job that required a tax form, the post office hiring manager can simply order an employment history through a system called "the work number". When I was working as a case manager for the housing authority for the section 8 program, we often use this source to verify employment history that people often failed to disclose. But that's just one of many employment verification source, I'm sure there are others. It's best if you disclosed it, rather than having them find out later on and you explaining why you didn't disclose this to them. http://www.theworknumber.com/ "I thought employers were only allowed to say yes this person has worked for me and thats it thought they werent allowed to say why not anymore and stuff!?" Why do you think this is true. Nowhere does the law states employer can't ask former employers of job applicant about their work history. They can even ask if you were a bad employee, if you are late to work often, and any other work related issues. But it really depends on who manage the employee records. Your supervisor probably will not be the one they talk to because they would most likely be busy doing their job, most likely they will be talking to a HR personnel of your former company.
Post office jobs...?
I know it varies, but do post office jobs usually require a bachelor's degree? I know you have to pass a test and everything. I'm going to be getting my associate's degree in a few weeks and would like to apply there but I'm not sure if I even have a chance. Thanks.
I worked at Walmart before getting hired at the Post Office. When the Post Office was hiring again, I went to a few people at Walmart that I knew were hard-working. They would have doubled if not tripled their income. Why would they not even apply?
Honestly… I've not moved on because every time someone says oh but that pay is so much better. Usually end up downsized.. or cut. As much as the pay is not good while i may be under payed I've never been without work while my friend who keeps going to this job or that usually ends up asking me for loans because the job while great just isn't stable. People will always need food and other assorted junk. As convenient as online ordering is it's not THAT quick, yet.
Can ex- military get a job at post office with oth discharge?

How long after someone is fired can they be rehired at the same place?
That depends on the company and the reason for being fired. Companies may have explicit policies for re-hiring terminated employees or it may be a subjective process. Either way there’s no guarantee that an employer will take an employee back after any amount of time has passed.If the reason for termination was due to downsizing or layoff then a former employee might have a decent chance of getting rehired when the company is in better financial shape. However, the timeline for that is unpredictable. In fact the company may never get back on its feet.If the employee was fired for performance reasons then I’d expect the employee would have to demonstrate how they’ve changed since being terminated. Was there some personal situation that has since been remedied? Has the employee received additional training or education? Have they demonstrated a strong record of employment at another company? A company is less likely to rehire a poor performer than someone they had to let go because of downsizing. Still, if the employee has demonstrated some form of progress they might take them back. How long it would take to get rehired would depend largely on how long it takes the employee to demonstrate a significant change in circumstances.If the termination occurred due to criminal activity, an ethical lapse or because of intentional actions that brought serious harm to the company then the most likely answer is “never.”
Could a convicted felon be hired to work for the postal service?
I'm a felon! So I can answer from experience, at least in the application process. Technically, it's illegal for the government to bar you from employment based on your criminal record explicitly. That means that they cannot state "We do not hire felons". However, the U.S Postal Service has the catch-all requirement of "Background and/or Security Investigation required". This means that if you have a felony, you will not be working for the USPS. Which is unfortunate because I've met tons of felons that are awesome people and great employees, and I've met tons of postal employees that are total morons. So the quick answer is: Could a convicted felon be hired? Yes Will a convicted felon be hired? No And JWatson - I voted WHILE in Jail so...shut it.
In small towns, are the post office employees locals, or have they been hired by the USPS and sent to live there?
If they are fortunate to live in the town and have been “awarded" the office as best qualified, then they live there.Most managers select the best qualified, but do try to place people relative to their residence.I'm actually a perfect example for how employees are chosen.I was an analyst for over 13 years when my position was eliminated nation wide. I applied for many administrative positions, and interviewed but not selected for 2 months.The HR manager called me in and explained Postal regulations required them to fire me if I worked too long without a permanent position.To avoid that, I was offered the postmaster position in 1 of 3 offices. That was the last thing I wanted to do as I had not worked directly with the public in 17 years, but I had no choice.The 3 offices were each a different level, based on the number of residents and deliveries and the revenue earned, with the highest level the farthest away from me.I accepted the lowest level office because it was in a town closest to where I lived.It was a one person office (the postmaster) and had approximately 200 deliveries and 400 residents. A carrier from a different office would pick up mail to make the deliveries, but he was not my employee.Previous to my analyst job being eliminated, I lived only 2 miles from work and rode my bicycle. When I started my postmaster position, I had to drive 22 miles to work, taking about 45 minutes. So, I commuted. The Postal service would not seek a resident in the town to fill the position, but did use residents from the general area to fill it temporarily.I retired because they wanted to cut the hours if operation at the office, but could not do so as long as I held the permanent Postmaster position, until September, 2015. (I retired in 2013).Now they staff the office 4 hours a day with a clerk making 1/3 what I made. I have no idea if the person is from the area or not.Since I retired, I believe the Postal service tries to hire local residents, paying them much less with no benefits.Answer was probably confusing, but it was a unique situation.
5 months pregnant and newly hired at USPS?
So here is my situation. I am a little over 5 months pregnant and have just recently hired by the Post Office as a City Carrier Assistant (CCA). Apparently, when I went thru my interview, the hiring manager didn't notice I was pregnant (even though showing quite a bit already!) so when I started orientation the Union steward even came in to talk to me but couldn't really answer my questions. The fact is that the USPS puts you on a 90 day trial period, during which they can fire you for any reason. I have been told that due to the nature of the job, I would be working up to 10 hrs a day, monday-saturday, and even tho the job is really hard for anyone, it would be especially exhausting for me (being more than 8 months pregnant by the end of my 90 days). I went to talk to my supervisor and she pretty much told me that even if I made it thru the 90 days they would still probably have to let me go because I still would not qualify for FMLA when the baby is born (you need 1250 hrs or 1 year of employment to qualify) so I would not be allowed to take any time off. This really aggravated me! Basically if you are pregnant you can't even apply for any jobs? I have been on unemployment for the past couple months, applying everywhere I could (for over a year at the Post office!) and of course when I get the opportunity I can't take it! The union steward recommended before I get fired, to give myself the resignations because that would be the only way for me to be able to be hired again in the future. Is this true? I don't want to resign because if I do I wouldn't even qualify for unemployment compensation, and this would really screw me over... Please help! Any suggestions on how I should act?
