Editorial Reviews

From the Author

Update on recent Postal hiring and testing revisions... Recent sweeping revisions to the U.S. Postal Service hiring and testing program rendered many Postal books obsolete. They changed literally everything. There is a new online job search function and a radically different new online application process. Six old exams were retired and replaced by two new mega tests, exams 473E and 955. Paper and pencil tests are history; the exams are now electronic. In response to these massive revisions, I published my updated title, "How to Really Get Postal Jobs", to guide applicants through the incredibly challenging new process. Using obsolete materials will lead to sure failure. For a successful job search, you need an up to date and effective guide, and the name of that guide is "How to Really Get Postal Jobs". - T. W. Parnell

This review is from: How to Really Get Postal Jobs: Apply for Post Office Jobs 24/7 ... No More Waiting for Test Dates ... Take Postal Exam 473 / 473E & Other Tests Anytime You Want!!! (Paperback)

Get this book only if you do not know how to use the internet for applying for a job online and do not know what to expect, or if you just want to know the history of the Postal exams and how they've changed.

However, do not buy this book if you're expecting an in-depth study guide with practical test taking strategies. Throughout the book the Author repeatedly promotes his online courses and e-guides for an additional $29.95 or $19.95 discount if you purchase this book.

I cannot thank you enough for your book How to Really Get Postal Jobs. I REALLY got the job!

As a matter of fact, because of your book, I had the problem of choosing which job offer to accept! That is a great problem to have! The detailed job descriptions in your book REALLY helped me make the important decision of which job to take.

I cannot say enough about how much your interview tips and KSA info helped me prepare for my interviews. When trying to work with their confusing hiring system, the best thing of all was knowing that there REALLY is someone who knows what is going on, there REALLY is a place to go for help, and there REALLY is person behind the scenes who cares about your success!

For those of you out there who are thinking about a job with the USPS, you REALLY need to buy this book. It WILL make a difference!

This review is from: How to Really Get Postal Jobs: Apply for Post Office Jobs 24/7 ... No More Waiting for Test Dates ... Take Postal Exam 473 / 473E & Other Tests Anytime You Want!!! (Paperback)

How to Really Get Postal Jobs is the one all-encompassing and 100% up-to-date career guide that every Postal job seeker must have.

Having recently retired as a U.S. Postal Service Manager of Employment and Training, I was responsible for hiring and testing. I was also responsible for rolling out the new eCareer application system in my district, and I am aware of the difficulties experienced when attempting to navigate this system. I can speak firsthand about the challenges faced by applicants and about the incredible advantages to be found in this book by bestselling author T. W. Parnell.

In preparation for this review, I researched Postal books in general and T. W. Parnell in particular. I discovered that Mr. Parnell is widely recognized as the foremost authority on Postal employment. An astonishing number of reviews are posted for him online, far more than for any other Postal author, and virtually all of them carry a five star rating. If you are serious about a Postal job, this is obviously the man who can successfully guide you through the process.

Why is this book so essential? The Postal Service just revamped its entire hiring and testing program. This is the only book I found to be truly 100% up-to-date with the new eCareer system. Since the application system and the exams were all revised, it is more important now than ever before to have a fully up-to-date guidebook.

The insightful step-by-step instructions for the complicated new application system are one of the greatest features. The chapter on interviews offers extraordinary advantages. (His explicit interview tips prove, by the way, that Mr. Parnell does indeed have access to inside information.) To assist in choosing the most advantageous career route, he included comprehensive job descriptions, wages, benefits, and employment requirements for all entry-level positions. And the exam section is outstanding. The encyclopedic information and remarkably realistic sample questions for all the new tests assure there will be no surprises when taking an exam. He even created an online resource associated with his book to ensure that readers are always abreast of any new developments.

This book provides exceptionally detailed and 100% up-to-date guidance for every step of the Postal employment process. It is presented in a simple and easy to understand fashion with an occasional dose of down-home humor to keep it lively. Bottom line: If you really want a Postal job, you really need this book!
