Boston, MA — This holiday season, the Postal Service plans to hire between 35,000 and 40,000 seasonal workers to process and deliver holiday cards and packages to our customers. We have already begun the process and are seeing a good response around the country.
Just in the Greater Boston Area alone we’ll be hiring 400 new City Carrier Assistants. And our processing facilities in Brockton, Shrewsbury and North Reading are looking to hire more than 100 individuals to help sort and process thousands of packages, cards and letters that will arrive between November and January.
The online application process is easy. Just go to usps.com and click on “careers” under “USPS JOBS” at the bottom left of the page.
Interested applicants should make sure they have the time to complete the entire process, which can take up to two hours. They must use a computer with Adobe PDF Reader installed as our system is not compatible with mobile devices.
After logging in, applicants will be asked to create an account, which makes searching and applying easier. The system will walk applicants through a Profile Roadmap. Items with an asterisk must be completed before you can move on to the next page. You can also upload a current resume. Click on Search Now to find positions in your area of consideration. Background checks and drug screening are required.
Some Postal Service seasonal employees have opportunities for permanent work, and a path to become career employees; and employees do take advantage of this opportunity.###
