I applied at the usps site and applied for about 4 stations close to me, I got offered an interview at each one, it may have taken a while to get a call from each station but I DID get the call. I finally got a call to be a CCA. The process was long, but smooth. It took around two months to be where I am. I applied, waited, got an email to go in for an interview and there was around 40 other people applying for CCA's as well I assumed, and once I finally got my turn the lady was so sweet and she was telling me what the post office has to offer and how it's gone for her. She was probably in her late 50's and she was telling me her life has been very stable and she's been in the post office since she was 20. Anyways... After the interview you get emails to get a drug test and a background check. After you send in the drug test and background check it's another wait. I waited about a week, but then I got a call to return to the headquarters and I had already got accepted that very morning at another job with my cousin because frankly I was getting tired of waiting. (Funny how things happen huh?) well anyways, I returned and I saw one other lady who was there when I got interviewed, she was nice.. And they got our fingerprints and offered us a CCA position and WE got to choose the station we wanted! I thought that was awesome. And now here I am, 18 years old and in the post office. I start orientation this Monday and I've heard a lot of reviews about the job, I've visited the station already and honestly, ignore whatever anybody has to say and witness the thing yourself, that's how you'll find out wether it's for you or not.
