MARYVILLE, TN — Spring is here! As warmer weather replaces the cold, dreary winter maybe it’s time to shake off a gloomy job for a bright new one with the Postal Service.

A postal career offers employees the ability to work where they live, good pay, stability, lifelong benefits and career advancement opportunities throughout the entire agency.  USPS is one of the nation’s largest employers with ongoing attrition needs.

The Postal Service is continually hiring new employees throughout Knox County and, in Maryville, we are seeking City Carrier Assistants, Rural Carrier Associates, and Assistant Rural Carriers.

Make plans to become the newest of the more than 635,000 postal employees throughout the nation by attending one of the upcoming job fairs.  No appointment is necessary.

Employees will be available to help fair attendees with benefits, qualifications, and application questions.  Laptops will be available on the day of the event for immediate application submission.

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 a criminal background investigation. Applicants must be available to work weekends and holidays. Whether it’s your first career or next career, the Postal Service is a great place to work that provides job security, career advancement opportunities and generous benefits.

If someone can’t make it to the job fairs, or for additional information regarding available positions in all areas, applicants can go to our website at https://about.usps.com/careers/welcome.htm and explore detailed information about our top job opportunities.

Stabilizing our workforce to ensure we consistently service nearly 167 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.
