LOS ANGELES – The U.S. Postal Service is kicking off the new year with the first ever statewide job fair blitz in California! #USPSCoast2Career

USPS is hoping to hire 2,400 new employees at simultaneous job fairs from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Jan. 26 at 77 post offices across the state. Participating offices stretch 800 miles from Arcata in the north to Imperial Beach in San Diego County.

Among the 77 post offices hosting job fairs on Jan. 26, 11 are located in Los Angeles County, which are hoping to hire 325 mail carriers.

The available postal positions, which offer starting pay from $19.33 to $19.94 an hour, are great opportunities for anyone seeking fast-paced, rewarding work environments with good pay, and are a first step in leading to long-term careers with the Postal Service.

As outlined in the Delivering for America plan, the Postal Service is modernizing and continually adapting to the changing needs of its customers. In order to do that, we need motivated, dedicated people to join us in delivering for our local communities and our nation. We understand we are a vital lifeline between our local communities and the outside world.

There’s never been a better time to join the Postal Service. Our employees have played essential roles in their communities from being a friendly face bringing medicines to house-bound seniors to delivering household supplies to those unable to shop at stores, along with COVID tests to anyone who needed them.

USPS personnel will be onsite at the above job fairs to answer questions, assist potential applicants and provide detailed information about available positions.

Those unable to attend the job fairs can apply online at www.usps.com/careers.

Note to media: USPS Human Resources Manager Arturo Santana will be at available for in-person interviews on the subject of this hiring initiative from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Jan. 26 at the San Pedro Post Office. Contact natashi.l.garvins@usps.gov to arrange an interview time.
