      Rural Carrier Associate (RCA) Interview

      22 May 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at US Postal Service in May 2016

      Interview

      Very long process as everyone here described, i am not too sure on the exact dates. I applied, took the exam and scored an 84 percent. I had to take drug test. About a month later, i got an interview set up. The day of the interview i was the only one that showed up out of six people, so i was pretty much guarenteed the job on the spot. Interview went great, pretty straight forward, not much too worry about there. Getting into the post office is great, however the RCA position totally was not for me. It is a noncareer position so no benefits. I was also told i was only going to be guarenteed one day (Sundays) and that the rest of the week i would be on call. She basically told me all the negatives of the job and i listened. Postal truck has no AC, the pay however is decent ($16.36), not bad. Interview ended smooth and she told me to keep an eye on my email. Sure enough i get an email, about a week later, asking me to accept or decline the position. I declined the position.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Why do you want to work for us? Are you able to handle the weather? Give me an example of how you handled instructions both in a written and verbal manner? Are you okay with the truck having no ac, what what you do when it gets hot? If a customer is angry, how would you help him? How is your schedual at your current job? Thats all i can recall at the moment. She basically had this sheet of paper and went down the list of all ready typed questions. As you answered them, she jotted down notes.

      There is no interview. If you can pass the assessment online and a background check then they will take you. After that they just take time to get you setup with training.
