Starting Thursday, April 17, the Bend, OR Post Office will host job fair events every Thursday through May 29.
USPS personnel will be available at the events to provide detailed information about available positions, answer questions regarding USPS employment and walk future employees through the application process on-site. New Postal Service employees enjoy competitive starting pay with a range between $19 and $20 per hour, depending on the position, paid bi-weekly. Benefits include regular pay increases, paid vacation leave, health insurance, and growth opportunities.
Career employees can earn premium long-term benefits that complement good pay. Some of the benefits include:
- Multiple health and life insurance choices
- Pension benefits and a Thrift Savings Plan program, similar to a 401(k)
- Vacation time and sick leave
The job fair will look to fill several postions such as letter carriers, rural carriers, retail associates, and mail handlers. Positions for CDL drivers and maintenance technicians may also be available in other parts of Oregon.
