Anyone on here a mail carrier?

[Irving]

I applied to be a fill mail carrier a while ago, and was selected, but passed due to working as an agent. Is a mail carrier a stable job? Desirable? It seems like now is a terrible time to try and be a mail carrier.

I think I'm going to check out this job instead. I have a four year degree and it sounds interesting. Anyone have any insight?

Its well paying most times, there is no "action". 0132 is the job standard, most commonly called an Analyst. Its mostly research and compiling of information. You would work with others that collect the information. Those could be NCIS or Military intelligence.

Go for it.

I'm going to work on my resume right now.

There is this one as well, but I don't know if I would qualify for this. I am terrible at making resumes and tooting my own horn. Sounds like this link could be something to move into after you've spent some time in the first link.

The navy job would give you a nice head start for that job, but DIA is a weird place to navigate.

my dogs love to jump in the mail carriers truck, or UPS, fedex...they always think they are going for a ride!


I have been working on breaking them of that. if was funny as hell the first time two chicks from fedex showed up and they went full sprint in their direction, they got scared but the dogs went right by them straight into the truck!

Well, I applied for the first link, we'll see if I am contacted or not. I've run into some complaints about USAJobs doing searches. It sounds like people apply for jobs, only to find out that it was more of a feeler and the position was never available, etc, etc. Plus, the way that the application is set up, there are so many questions about being a veteran, that I really feel like I'm at a disadvantage for not having the honor.

I've applied to at least several hundred jobs on USAjobs.gov and NEVER heard back from a single one, not even a "we passed you up" email. I'm also finding that half of the times, when the job description is posted on usajobs I find I'm qualified. So I proceed to apply, only to find out the description on the actual dept's website and qualifications are different and I no longer qualify. Which is more annoying than not getting a response from the company.
