The examinations are administered by examination center personnel from local Customer District Human Resources offices located in most large cities. A comprehensive listing of Customer Service District offices is provided in Chapter Four. Contact your local post office to find out where the tests are administered in your area. A copy of this publication is usually available for use in the post office lobby. A passing score of 70 percent or better on an exam will place the applicant's name on an eligible register for a period of two years.
Registers are lists of job applicants that have passed an exam or evaluation process.
Your score determines your placement on the register. Applicants can write to the Postal Examination office for a one-year extension. There is a separate register for each job classification. To improve your chances, test for as many different positions that you can qualify for. Postal employees who have the knowledge, education, credentials, and skills may apply for these openings.
