The Postal Service will host two job fair events in two Idaho communities between Jan. 24 and Jan. 30 offering attendees a unique look into employment opportunities across the state.

Subject matter experts will be present at both events to assist attendees in an on-stie application process as well as answer questions about Postal Service employment.

The Postal Service has several open positions available across Idaho including mail carriers, mail handlers and clerks. Positions as CDL drivers and maintenance technicians may also be available in some areas.

New Postal Service employees enjoy competitive starting pay with a range between $19 and $20 per hour, depending on the position, paid bi-weekly. Benefits include regular pay increases, paid vacation leave, health insurance, and growth opportunities.

Postal Service employees fulfill essential services in their communities, delivering essential correspondence and parcels to millions of addresses nationwide. A career with the Postal Service offers stability, good pay, lifelong benefits and nearly endless career advancement opportunities throughout the entire agency.

The Postal Service continues to look for energetic new hires with the goal to fill hundreds of positions in the state. No appointment is necessary to attend the job fair events.

Applicants must be 18 years of age and be able to pass drug screening and a criminal background investigation. Although in some instances, interested candidates can also be 16 with a high school diploma. Applicants must also be available to work weekends and holidays.

Those unable to attend a job fair, or for additional information regarding available positions in all areas, applicants can visit www.usps.com/careers. Jobs are uploaded every other Tuesday until filled, and postings are updated frequently, so check back often for additional opportunities. Potential applicants can also visit any Post Office location for more information.

Stabilizing our workforce to ensure we consistently service 169 million addresses across the country is one part of the Postal Service’s 10-year Delivering for America plan to achieve financial stability and service excellence.
