If you need a new job for the new year but a daily ferry commute isn’t appealing, check out the first Postal Service job fair event for 2024 on Vashon Island.

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

The USPS employs more than 635,000 people throughout the nation, and with nearly 63,000 military veterans on its rolls, it is also one of the largest employers of veterans in the country.

Make plans to become the newest postal employee and attend the job fair at the Vashon Library. No appointment is necessary:

Tuesday, February, 6, noon – 3 p.m.
Vashon Library Meeting Room
17210 Vashon Hwy SW.
Vashon Island, WA 98070

The job fair is open to anyone interested in a career with the Postal Service. Employees will be available at the in person events to help 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 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.

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, 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 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.
