Opportunities to Advance and Become a Part of the USPS Career Work Force
San Diego, CA — The U.S. Postal Service is hosting job fairs in San Diego and San Bernardino from 2 to 6 p.m. next Thursday, Nov. 18 to facilitate the hiring of more than 300 employees.
The 300+ available positions include jobs as City Carrier Assistants, Mail Handler Assistants, Postal Support Clerk Employees, Rural Carrier Associates, Assistant Rural Carriers and Tractor Trailer Operators, and hourly pay from $16.87 to as much as $23.74 an hour.
“This is a great opportunity for anyone seeking a fast-paced, rewarding work environment with good pay,” said USPS (A) Human Resources Manager Connie Sallee. “While these 300 positions are not career positions, we hope and expect that every single person we hire will take advantage of the opportunities to advance and become a part of our career work force, with all of the benefits that entails.”
Interested applicants are encouraged to register in advance, by scanning the QR codes below or going online at www.eventbrite.com. Walk-in applicants will be accepted based upon space availability. Job fair details follow.

Applicants are also encouraged to bring their own devices—laptops, tablets, etc.—to facilitate the application process, with assistance from USPS personnel.
“As outlined in our USPS Delivering for America plan, we are modernizing and continually adapting to the changing needs of our customers. In order to do that we need motivated, dedicated people to join us to deliver for our local communities and our nation.”
Job applicants must meet the below requirements:
- 18 years old at the time of appointment or 16 years old with a high school diploma
- United States citizen, permanent resident, or citizen of American Samoa or other U.S. territory
- Able to pass a criminal background check, drug screening, and medical assessment
