SAN DIEGO COUNTY, Calif. — The U.S. Postal Service will conduct a one-day job fair for mail carriers and clerks at 19 post offices across San Diego County from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 16.
The available postal positions offer starting pay from $18.92 to $19.12 an hour.
“As outlined in our USPS Delivering for America plan, we’re modernizing and continually adapting to the changing needs of our customers,” said USPS San Diego Human Resources Manager Carol Capone. “In order to do that, we need motivated, dedicated people to join us to deliver for our local communities and our nation.
USPS says there’s never been a better time to join the Postal Service.
"Throughout the COVID pandemic, our employees have played essential roles in their communities. When people have been confined to their homes, when stores and supermarkets have experienced shortages or been shut down, we delivered medicines to house-bound seniors, household supplies to those unable to shop at stores, and COVID tests to anyone who needed them," Capone said.
