Postal Service Taking Applications for New Jobs
CLEVELAND -- The Northern Ohio District of the U.S. Postal Service is offering new employment opportunities. The positions are classified as city carrier assistant (CCA), a new category of "noncareer employee" with a path to possible future employment as a career letter carrie, the post office says.
From today through Monday, online applications will be accepted for these CCA positions. CCAs are appointed for a term of 360 calendar days and may be reappointed for another 360-day term after a five-day break in service. The positions entail all the duties normally performed by a city letter carrier. Salary and limited benefits include $15 an hour, paid vacation days, and eligibility for health care benefits as required by law or after the first 360-day term.
Applicants must create an external profile at usps.com/employment, fill out the online application and follow the instructions to take Postal Examination 473. All applicants must qualify on Examination 473 to be eligible for selection to a CCA vacancy. Qualified applicants must have a valid state driver’s license, demonstrate and maintain a safe driving record, and pass a pre-employment drug screening.
Applicants will need an email address and should check their email frequently for further instructions.
