Want a job at the post office, go to the post office.

Paying for an employment test is about as good as paying for a car sponsorship.

u guys hear this over and over and over again at the news etc.
when are you guys going to learn.... not tryng to be an ass or nothing, but, most of these "make money at home" and all this internet things are fake.
i had a guy on craigslist who has a post saying his was coming to FL and need a driver.
so i asked my pops for his van a few weeks and email the guy, when he email me back he said he was sending his grandmother to fl and she need a driver.... i was like hmmm... fishy.
so he said he would pay ahead etc.
5 days later i get a check in the mail with a diff name then this guy i had email.
so i when the the local police and show them the check.
the officer looks and says its a scam. if i had deposited the check i would of been in jail.
they used the check to take money from people acounts they use your name so you go to jail for it.
for example if they take 10 grand out of your account and i withdraw $1500
so now im the guys who robed you..
im glad i went to the bso before i deposited in my bank!!!

Pretty positive I've heard from several USPS people that you DO infact pay $50 for a test. If you pass and get hired they refund you the $50 if I am not mistaken.

I wouldn't just call a random number to get the test though.

i'm also not trying to be a dick.. but are you serious? like said, if you want a postal job go down to your post office and get an application.

they do their own tests also, they dont contract some other company to do it......... common sense?

oh and you asked how do you get your money back --------- you dont.
