Join the Postal Service at two job fair events at Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM) Sept. 19 – 20 and at the Tacoma STAR center Sept. 29. Postal Service employees will be on hand at all events to help answer questions and apply for dozens of available positions, including seasonal jobs.

Our goal is to fill thousands of positions across Washington. In most areas the need is especially urgent for mail carriers, clerks, and mail handlers. However, interested applicants should always check with their local Post Office for information on available positions.

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.

Anyone, including military spouses, 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, on-base events:

No appointment is necessary. 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 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 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.
