It
doesn't matter whether you're an electrician, a professional person
or just a high school graduate. It doesn't matter where you were born
or where you grew up. If you're a U.S. citizen or an immigrant, you
can get a job in the U.S. Postal Service by one of two routes
--either by getting high scores on postal entrance examinations or
(if you're a doctor, nurse, or any other professional) by getting a
job without any examinations.
Civil Service Eligibles
You cannot apply for a job with the USPS without being a civil service eligible (except for technical positions such as doctors, engineers, computer analysts, etc. To be an eligible you must pass the postal exams. The Postal Service gives different exams for different positions, such as clerk and carrier, mail handler, mark-up clerk (automated), distribution clerk (machine), rural carrier, and other positions.
Post
Offices throughout the country give exams to compile a “register of
eligibles” from which they can take people, according to their
ranking, to fill current and future vacancies. Tests are given by
management sectional centers, general mail facilities, and bulk mail
centers of the U.S. Postal Service. For instance, the Pittsburgh MSC
gives examinations for its associate offices with the area covered by
150, 153, 154, 156, and 260 (West Virginia) zip codes. To know if
there are exams to be given in your area, call the sectional center
of the U.S. Postal Service. A directory of U.S. Postal Testing
Centers is contained in the Book of U.S. Postal Exams.
Although
the Postal Service says that 70 is the passing score, your hair will
turn gray while you wait to be called for employment if you score
only in the 70s. The records show that only those who score from 90
to 100% are usually called by the Post Office for employment, because
hundreds and even thousands of people take and pass the exams and the
Post Office can afford to be selective. The rule says that those at
the very top of list of eligibles (in your area) have the first
choice to work in the city where you live or to any city of your
choice. You can take postal exams in any city.If you make a high
score, you may request that your eligibility be transferred to the
city where you want to live and work, or you can work where you took
the exam. If your eligibility is transferred, you'll lose your
eligibility in the city where you took the test. When you are an
eligible, you can postpone your employment in the Post Office for a
certain period of time and still remain an eligible.
Marking the Answer Sheets
Bautista also reveals that questions on the exams are so tricky that you need to use techniques and strategies to get high scores.He also says that one must know how to mark the answer sheets to obtain high scores, from 95-100%. He says that if you know this secret, you'll increase your chances of making 95-100% by 30 percent. This secret is contained in his book. No other postal exam authors have revealed such a secret, probably not knowing it because they have not taken any postal exams. Bautista took the exams and scored 95-100%.
Remember:
employment hinges on one thing and one thing only: “how well you do
on the exam.”
This
rule is strictly enforced with no ifs, ands, or buts.You could have a
Ph.D. and still not be hired if you didn't come through on the exam.
It doesn't matter whether you're a United States citizen oran
immigrant, man or woman, black or white, brown or yellow, you name
it. It's your exam score that counts.
