USPS Employment Opportunities thru June 17

Newly-designed Postal Support Employee (PSE) positions are vacant and currently being posted in all Post Office lobbies for applicants who are either non-career USPS employees or non-USPS employees.

These positions are excellent new opportunities for those needing jobs or for those non-career USPS employees (Casuals, Transitional or Postmaster Relief/Leave Replacement). These postings will be ongoing so all interested parties should be aware to check them at least once a week and become familiar with the application process.

PSEs are a new category of non-career employee established to provide the USPS with flexibility. These positions are in accordance with the new labor contract agreement with the American Postal Workers Union (APWU), AFL-CIO, which went into effect May 23, 2011.
Employees will be appointed for a term not-to-exceed 360 calendar days. If there is still an operational need, a PSE may be reappointed for another not-to-exceed 360-day term after a five-day break in service. PSE employees will enjoy limited benefits.

Announcements for these new positions are being posted to all interested persons on www.usps.com/employment. At that page, click on ‘2-Search jobs online’ listed in the box on the right side of the page. At the next ‘Job Search’ screen, under location, scroll down and click on ‘Florida,’ then ‘Start.’ All jobs currently in a posting period will appear. If they do not appear, go back and narrow the criteria, then try again.

Applicants should click on each position of interest and ‘Apply’ online. Instructions on email addresses, registration process, logins and passwords must be followed exactly as stated to be sure your applications are complete. A new eCareer Candidate Profile should be created to use during the application process. All applications for vacancies must be completed and submitted by the closing date. Separate applications must be submitted for each PSE position. All descriptions, grades, locations, salaries and other information are included with each posting.

These positions are challenging employment opportunities for highly motivated and innovative individuals. Successful candidates must demonstrate certain requirements for each job title through a combination of education, training and experience.
