COLUMBUS, OH — The Postal Service is in the process of hiring 100 city carrier associates to work in the Columbus area. A job fair for these positions is being held in the lobby of the Twin Rivers Post Office – 850 Twin Rivers Drive, Columbus, OH 43216 – on Thursday, February 1, 2018, 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. The job fair is open to all. No appointment is necessary. Walk-ins welcome.

A city carrier assistant (CCA) delivers and collects mail on foot or by vehicle under varying road and weather conditions in a prescribed area; maintains professional and effective public relations with customers and others, and requires a general familiarity with postal laws, regulations, products and geography of the area. CCAs work weekdays, weekends and holidays as needed.

“With a starting salary of $16.78 an hour, a CCA is a pre-career employee with a path to career status,” said USPS Field Recruiter Lisa Butts. “Applicants must have a valid state driver's license, a safe driving record, and at least two years of documented driving experience. A written exam is required and background checks are performed on applicants.”

For more information on the job fair, contact Donna Flint at (614) 472-0810.
