Pick Up Your Pencil…

Become a Postal Employee

Syracuse — Yes, it is the test season for students and for potential postal employees. In June, registrants for the Postal Exam will pick their pencils up to begin a new career with the Postal Service.

"Many of our applicants, and employees, will tell you they haven't really taken a test since high school," explained Syracuse's postal Officer in Charge Gail Weeks.

"That's why our diversity committee is stepping out again to make the process more familiar to those who will take the exam. We need good employees. Being rusty at taking a test should not be an obstacle."

WHAT:
“Yes, You Can Prepare…” for the United States Postal Service Postal Career Entrance Test (Exam 473)

WHEN:
THURSDAY, MAY 15, 2008
5:30 pm to 6:30 pm
Northeast Community Center, 716 Hawley Ave, Syracuse
This site is handicapped accessible with parking in the Dr. Weeks School parking lot next door. There is NO charge for this event.

BACKGROUND:
