The proper conducting of examinations plays an essential role in the employment and placement function in the Postal Service. See Handbook EL–312, chapter 3, for detailed provisions and instructions for conducting examinations.
Only authorized personnel and vendors may conduct entrance and inservice postal examinations.
Installations that have regularly-assigned examiners must use these trained personnel to administer inservice examinations, provided there are no conflicts of interest such as the examiner is assigned to proctor an exam in which he or she or a relative is enrolled. Any exceptions to this policy must be approved by the Headquarters Testing and Assessment department. See Handbook EL-312, chapter 3, for more information.
The Postal Service obtains qualified employees and helps applicants seeking postal employment through a network of examination locations where persons may take the required examinations for Postal Service employment.
