OAKLAND, CA — The Bay-Valley District of the U.S. Postal Service needs people, and to make it easy for applicants to navigate the www.usps.com/employment online application process, two how-to workshops will be held on Saturday, Oct. 31, 2015, in two locations.
In the East Bay, Postal Service hiring personnel will hold a workshop from 10:00 a.m. to noon at the Oakland Processing & Distribution Center, 1675 7th Street, Oakland, CA 94615.
In the South Bay, the workshop will be from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the San Jose Processing & Distribution Center, 1750 Lundy Avenue, San Jose, CA 95101
Applicants will be shown how to navigate online at www.usps.com/employment and search for job openings. The Postal Service has a need for Automotive Technicians, Casual Mail Handlers, City Carrier Assistants, Mail Handler Assistants, Postal Support Employees, Rural Carrier Associates, and Tractor-Trailer Operators.
Applicants must be 18 years of age, or 16 years of age with a high school diploma. Applicants must be able to pass drug screening, criminal background and any other applicable Postal Service test.
“The Postal Service is a great place to work,” said Florencia Aceituno, the Bay Valley District Human Resources manager. “This is a tremendous opportunity to experience a job that is very challenging and rewarding.”
Entry to the Oakland Processing & Distribution Center is through the security guard check point.
Entry to the San Jose Processing & Distribution Center is through the employee entrance on Hostetter Street. There is a buzzer at the parking gate. Someone will open the gate when buzzed. After parking, approach the Employee Entrance and wait to be escorted into the building.
