This review is from: Post Office Jobs: Explore and Find Jobs, Prepare for the 473 Postal Exam, and Locate All Job Opportunities (Paperback)
My daughter and I recently took the postal exam for carrier/clerk/sales. After using some of the techniques, we both found the test to be a lot easier then we both expected. We both put this book to good use. I would recommend this book for anyone who is taking the exam. Whether the exam is for City Carrier or Rural Route, Clerk or any other position, this book will give you what you need and is an excellent source of information.

This review is from: Post Office Jobs: Explore and Find Jobs, Prepare for the 473 Postal Exam, and Locate All Job Opportunities (Paperback)
Good book for postal jobs but they have changed some of the exams etc. so may not be up to date but probably worth the money. The best jobs in the postal service would be in maintance. They are cutting a lot of jobs in several areas especially clerks and mailhandlers because of automation. ALSO as a 27 yr employee of usps you will have to put up with a lot of stress.
