What is pre-hire orientation with the usps?

How much bearing will a recent accident have on getting a job with the USPS?

  • I took the test for career letter carrier last winter, passed and got a call in notice for orientation, but due to a blizzard, I got there 5 minutes late and they wouldn't let me ...show more

  • Answer:

    It depends on the district and who is doing the interview. One accident in five years is usually not grounds for disqualification if you have had a clean history before that. Be prepared for a one on one interview with your potential new boss. Think about what you could have done to prevent the accident and what you have learned from the accident. Being contrite and showing knowledge of safe driving principles goes a long way in this interview. Figure out how to explain in less than one minute. A call-in notice is usually an invitation to employment . Being flexible as to what office you go to and hours you are willing to work will also get you points.

i recently started work as a truck driver. i had 6 points on my license which is a lot! lots of companies wont hire you if you have more then 4. my guess is that with just one accident on your record they will still hire you. now, if they want you to have driving experience that is a totally different thing. but id say there is a pretty good chance that this accident wont disqualify you. good luck!

You will only know the answer to this if you go for the orientation. It all depends on your driving history, surely they won't disqualify for one accident. By all means give it a shot and good luck.

I don't know for sure, but my guess is a no. You are working for a goverment agency, they will want a clean driving record w/ in the last few years. Just visited. USPS website and found this: applicants must have a current valid state driver’s license, a safe driving record, and at least two years of documented driving experience.

TRY AND FIND OUT FROM AN EMPLOYEE HOW THEY RATE UPON DISCLOSURE BECAUSE IF THEY DONT RUN AND ACCIDENT HISTORY REPORT THEN YOU HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT IF YOU DONT DISCLOSE IT
