USPS Plans 'Hiring Event' On South Side

CHICAGO, IL -- Are you interested in working for the United States Postal Service? USPS is planning a “hiring event” from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday, April 29. Representatives will be on hand to meet with prospective candidates at the Goodwill Workforce Center at 6054 S. Western Ave., Chicago.

Business attire is required and bring several copies of your resume. USPS currently has many opportunities available, including:

Applicants must be 18 years old, with a high school diploma or GED; be a U.S. citizen or permanent documented resident; be able to pass a background check and drug screening; have a safe driving background (if applicable to the position); and registered with Selective Service (if applicable).

Entry level positions start at $21 with opportunities for advancement and training. Visit USPS to learn more about working for the postal service and how to apply.

PLEASE NOTE: We noticed that there are several companies out there NOT affiliated with the United States Postal Service, which claim to help applicants for a FEE. Reputable recruiters do not charge applicants fees to procure jobs but bill their clients -- the employers. Use these outside companies if you wish, but “buyer beware.”
