The United States Postal Service will host a job fair event Friday, June 13 from 12:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Spokane Valley Public Library.

“Those who attend will meet friendly staff who will assist interested candidates in the hiring process,” said USPS Communications Specialist Zachary Laux. “Those candidates will also find great employment opportunities, not only in Spokane, but across the state of Washington and Idaho.”

New Postal Service employees enjoy competitive starting pay with a range between $19 and $20 per hour, depending on the position, paid bi-weekly. Benefits include regular pay increases, paid vacation leave, health insurance, and growth opportunities.

Career employees can earn premium long-term benefits that complement good pay. Some of the benefits include:

• Multiple health and life insurance choices 
• Pension benefits and a Thrift Savings Plan program, similar to a 401(k) 
• Vacation time and sick leave

Several types of positions are available throughout Washington and Idaho, including letter carriers, rural carriers, mail handlers, retail associates, CDL drivers and maintenance technicians. In Spokane, the Postal Service is looking to hire letter carrier assistants, retail associates and mail handlers.

USPS is an organization that promotes largely from within, offering career development to help prepare employees achieve their professional goals. Training programs include entry-level functional job-related training, technical hands-on learning, new supervisor training, and management-to-executive level development.

The United States Postal Service is an equal opportunity employer offering a fast-paced, rewarding work environment with competitive compensation packages, on-the-job training, and opportunities for advancement.
