Spokane, WA — The Postal Service is looking for mail carriers, clerks, and mail handlers in Spokane and the surrounding communities.

Working for the Postal Service also gives you something that other organizations can’t, the chance to make a positive impact in your community. It’s something we’ve done for nearly 250 years, and it’s what we call #PostalProud.

It’s no secret the Postal Service wants to fill thousands of jobs across Washington. And a job with the Postal Service can provide a lifelong career, competitive wages and benefits, and many advancement opportunities. Who knows? You could start as a mail carrier and one day find yourself the Postmaster General.

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 fair:

Friday, Feb. 10, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.
Saturday, Feb. 11, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.
Hilton Garden Inn, Spokane Airport
9015 West Hwy. 2
Spokane, WA  99224

No appointment is necessary. The fair will help fill open positions for Spokane, Greenacres, Cheney, Nine Mile Falls, Mead and other communities. All job fairs are open to anyone interested in a Postal career. And our employees will help locate jobs across the state for potential applicants as needed.

Postal Service human resources employees will be available to help job fair attendees with benefits, qualifications, and application questions. Laptops will be available on the day of the event for immediate application submission.

While other companies are reducing their workforce, the Postal Service is actively hiring. Our goal is to welcome up to 1,000 new employees over the next few months across the state of Washington. The need is especially urgent for mail handlers, clerks, and mail carriers.

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 the 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.
