Question for people who work at the post office...?



I saw an ad in the paper that the post office was hiring. So I called them and they said that they will send a packet of information, then you have to pay $140 to take a test. If you fail, you don't get your money back. If you pass, your test score determines how quickly you get an interview-then you get your money back. Is this the way it's done, or are we getting screwed by some good scammers?

This ad was placed by a commercial company who sells info on taking the post office test. You do have to take a test, but you definitely don't have to go through them.

Yes, they are trying to screw you.

This is not the post office -- it is a private company trying to screw you.

Yea it's a scam. You do have to take a test, and certain tests can cost money from what I know but not that much. I wouldn't recommend hoping for immediate success with a post office job. You start out as a casual employee which basically means you work whenever they want to work you. You have to work up to anything better.
