Job Fairs Set In San Diego: U.S. Postal Service Announces Hiring Blitz

SAN DIEGO, CA — With the holiday season around the corner, the U.S. Postal Service is hoping to hire hundreds of new employees across Southern California post offices.

The USPS aims to hire 450 employees to support the agency during the holiday shipping season and beyond. To fill the positions, 33 post offices — including 15 in the San Diego region — will host simultaneous job fairs from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday.

"This pre-holiday hiring blitz is focused on the post offices at which we currently have the greatest need," said Carol Capone, human resources manager for USPS San Diego.

The USPS seeks to recruit 250 mail carriers, 100 clerks and 100 mail handlers in Riverside, San Bernardino and San Diego counties. Starting pay ranges from $17.32 to $20.05 an hour, according to the USPS.

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