If I want to work for the USPS in or near my hometown, do I have to wait for a test to be given locally? |
Does it matter where I go to take a USPS civil service test? I'm in northern NJ. Currently the only tests listed on the USPS website in NJ are further south, nowhere near where I live. Could I take a test down there and still work up here or is there more of a correlation between testing location and working location? Also is a test being given in a particular town at all indicative of job openings being more likely there? They set up test locations wherever they can get a place big enough to handle all the applicants. I've taken tests that were about 20 miles away from where the actual work was going to be done, just because they needed a large meeting hall to accommodate everybody. But they're going to schedule a test where it's convenient for them. There's hundreds if not thousands of people applying for the same test as you (you'll see that if you show up for the test) so they're not going to try to accomodate your needs. You have to go where they're holding the test, plain and simple. I believe they typically test more often in the location where there are more positions; however, I would call and talk to the HR department for USPS and get some more specific information. --I think the tests are the same, but I also think you have to indicate which position you are applying for. |
