There will be two upcoming job fairs next week in the Bay Area for the United States Postal Service — Wednesday at the Willow Glen Post Office at 1750 Meridian Ave. in San Jose and Thursday at 1300 Evans Ave. in San Francisco.
According to data from the California Secretary of State’s Office, 88.6% of voters in the state used mail-in ballots in both the 2024 primary and 2022 general elections, a trend that has risen steadily over the decades. To accommodate that role, the Postal Service has made technological changes, such as informed delivery for tracking ballots. USPS is also boosting its workforce.
“We have many different positions open across the Bay Area anywhere ranging from inside the post office with processing, to outside delivering the mail. And those salaries can range from $18.00 per hour to over $22.00 per hour and beyond,” said USPS spokesperson Kristina Uppal. “We also have some specialized positions in our vehicle maintenance that can be over $30.00 an hour. So, there’s a lot of opportunity.”
Benefits include paid time off, health and life insurance as well as 401k retirement savings plans. Hiring opportunities are across the Bay. Uppal said they are especially looking to hire carriers in San Francisco and South San Francisco.
No experience is needed. The service offers training at all levels and encourages career growth with opportunities to develop into a supervisor or manager role.
