New recruits will fill positions over the holidays but will be kept on afterward and "given opportunities to advance into lifelong postal careers," according to the USPS.

USPS personnel will be onsite at the job fairs listed below to answer questions, assist potential applicants and provide detailed information about available positions. Those unable to attend the job fairs can apply online at www.usps.com/careers.
