The Postal Service is holding several job fairs in communities throughout the state — including multiple events in Bend and Redmond — during the month of August.

A postal job offers employees the ability to work where they live, good pay, stability, lifelong benefits and career advancement opportunities throughout the entire agency. 

We continue to look for energetic new hires with the goal to fill hundreds of positions all over Oregon within the next few months. The need is especially urgent for mail carriers, clerks, and mail handlers.

Anyone who needs a full or part-time job, a new career path, or is looking for a first-time job, please make plans to visit the upcoming job fairs:

No appointment is necessary. All job fairs are open to anyone interested in a Postal career.

Postal Service human resources employees will be available to help job fair attendees with benefits information, required qualifications, and application questions. They can also help find jobs at other locations across the state, or the nation, for potential applicants as needed. Laptops will be available on the day of the event for immediate application submission.

Our employees are our greatest asset, and we are investing in our new personnel by providing robust training and on-the-job support. The Postal Service offers stability, competitive wages and benefits, and career advancement opportunities.

Starting pay varies depending on the job. But starting pay for carriers ranges between $19 and $20 per hour paid bi-weekly. Applications are accepted online at www.usps.com/careers.

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 be available to work weekends and holidays. Refer to the job announcement for full details, duties, responsibilities, job requirements, and benefits information. Job postings are updated frequently, so check back often for additional opportunities.

If someone can’t make it to the job fair, or for additional information regarding available positions in all areas, applicants can go to our website at www.usps.com/careers. Jobs are uploaded every other Tuesday until filled. Potential applicants can also visit any Post Office location for more information.

Stabilizing our workforce to ensure we consistently service nearly 165 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.
