Lights, Camera, Action! USPS Seeks Employees for Holiday Commercial

Lights, camera, action!

The Postal Service is seeking employees to appear in a TV commercial for this year’s holiday season.

The commercial will be similar to a 2013 holiday spot that showcased employees as the cornerstone of the Postal Service. This sentiment will also be part of the new commercial, along with a message about how USPS employees are preparing for their busiest season.

All city letter carriers, mail handlers, retail and mail processing clerks, and maintenance bargaining unit employees are welcome to audition. No prior acting experience is required.

Here’s how to apply:

• Create a video of yourself, with your name, job description, how long you’ve been with the Postal Service, and why you want to be in the new commercial. Your video doesn’t need to be professional, but make sure you can be clearly seen and heard.
• Upload your video, and complete the online form with some important information to help the Postal Service learn more about you.
• Hit “Submit” to make sure your video is reviewed.

If applying from your home computer, you’ll need to access LiteBlue (liteblue.usps.gov). You'll need your Employee ID and USPS Self Service Password.  Your Employee ID is the 8-digit number printed above the words "Employee ID" on your paycheck earnings statement. Your USPS Self Service Password is the new security standard that is used to access many USPS self-service applications. If you have not set up your password in the Self Service Profile (SSP) application or you have forgotten your Self Service Password, you’ll be able to apply for or request a reminder at LiteBlue.

Submissions are due by Monday, September 29, at 12 p.m. EDT.  Applicants must receive approval from their managers prior to selection and production of the commercials.

Employees must have special permission to view streaming content that originates on external sites if they’re using the postal network and their ACE computers. Videos also can be viewed outside the postal network, using personal computers or smart devices.
