Hi Marie ! Your videos are very informative. Can you tell me what is the meaning of "Pre Hire List" please ? Will USPS call "Pre-Hire List' People for job?

@@rekhabista6064 It means you pass the exam and at the first step of hiring process. They still have to do a background check NASI then fingerprint (biometric) before you get hired.

@@MarieAdventure Thank you so much !

@@MarieAdventure when you first start as a MHA how many days a week do you work? Also how long does it usually take to make regular as a MHA?

@@user-ii8em7hb4d I was working 10 hours a day 5 days a week when I first landed my job. After that, they increased it to 12 hrs/day 6days/wk. Normally it takes 2 years to become a regular employee, but last year they did a fast track and promoted all the temp to regular.

Thank you!

Hey may I ask during your 15 years did you receive raises? Was it a livable/adult job for you to be able to handle your business? Did you have access to OT, PTO, vacation days, and benefits?

@@Ty0688 In my 25 years/you got raises according to the USPS CONTRACT every 4 years/so over that time you got increases in increments.Every PO installation OT was different by size of employees and amount of work and staffing.You get paid vacation (12 hrs) per month which you can accumulate up to 444hrs per year/again by service time in PO was your vacation time(2-3-4-5weeks) according to your years in service.You can use your ANNUAL TIME for a day off or more,this time again is accumulating time like I said previously!You get 12 hours per month for sick time(sick emergencies)you can accumulate as much of that as long as you’re WORKING!!..No CAP on that. I lasted 25 years,sure it was 95-2020,but it gave me a decent retirement,you can also get into a separate 401k which PO will match whatever you put into it up to 5%…Hey no layoffs,job security with retirement..hard to beat that today..hope I answered your questions and good luck to you!!

Congratulations! Thank you for remembering us. You young men will go a long way.

So true!

Great idea!

correct!

@@MarieAdventure G Good day Marie what is the pay for MHA

yup!

I just posted a video answering your questions, live!

@@MarieAdventure Ok thank you.

As a seasonal employee, the supervisor assign MHA's to do the key-ing/scanning of the parcels specially on Saturdays and Sundays because a lot of employees doesn't show up on weekends. Since then they mix up MPA and MHA to avoid shortage of manpower and meet the daily quota minimum of 30,000 parcels per day. The supervisor also get a reward by meeting and exceeding the quota.

I’m glad it’s working good for you 🤓

Best of luck too.

Yes! Our maintenance sits all day.

Except vehicle maintenance, we are ps9 and ps10 but a 30 year old fleet that has to stay running will keep you working.

When are you going to start? Congratulations!

@@MarieAdventure I’m going into my 3rd week

Hello Julia, duty is the date you were hired at USPS. Congratulations!

If I were you I quit before I even get started 😊👍 you won’t like it

Welcome

What’s your current position?

@@MarieAdventure applied for mha but haven't got called yet, was just wondering if you have to put in the time first or if you could start at one of those positions

You won't know until you try. It depends where they assign you, maybe you can request to be in the area where they key or scan the mails so you will be sitting the whole time.

Sorry it happened to you too.

Your supervisor is the person who can help you because they are the ones who can send you to the training. Please tell them that you are interested in driving a forklift.

Here's my video response to you kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nNKKftx-0rrWeY0.html

What craft do you want?

@@MarieAdventure something indoors hopefully something only 8 hrs a day. i was looking at pse but now im thinking somewhere in the plant. im still learning ive only been here for almost 2 yrs

I agree. Thanks for stopping by Yoga!

When I was a carrier in NYC I used to have frequent conversations with the young janitor and I myself wanted to become one. A lack of available vehicles that forced me to pound the pavement made me quit after about a year. But I loved the job, co-workers and the entire management team. This was at the Fordham station in the Bronx. Now, I accepted an offer as a MVO and I'm very much looking forward to working as a bulk mail driver. If an IT job becomes a possibility I may go for it.

PSE sort mails, MHA sort packages but sometimes their work overlaps and depending on the need of man power, they switch roles.

Congratulations! Easy Fernando. Postal work is hard. You will work 12 hours a day, 6 days a week as a new employee. Go to the gym and work that muscles out. You will be carrying heavy loads and on your feet the whole day. You will work holidays, so be prepared not spend all holidays with your family.

@@MarieAdventure good evening I can do that; I am thinking about the number in my paycheck; and I Will be the most happy qorker in the e tire USPS system

USPS does not provide lodging but let me know if they offered you.

Custodian is the best, then MHA or anything that says "Career" job. Because it means you get all the benefits of a permanent employee.

It depends on the demand for manpower. Other case is if they like they will keep you. Work hard and make friends.

@@MarieAdventure I did work hard. Barely complained. Now I dont have a schedule. No work for a week now.

They laid us off and informed us we would return during peak season

@@terellewalden8929 peak season is coming, apply again.

@@MarieAdventure thanks you Marie they rehired me and also I got a MHA job

How are you now? How's your schedule?

I used to work in parcel post. In my area, we are processing those boxed packages.

I don't have experience in PSE. Just do the best you can.

Hello I'm kinda having same issue , I never worked for manual but now I'm working from home and I'm getting fingerprints for post office tomorrow for MHA , I'm ready for different and more money .. am I making a good move ??

I work for usps I would stay at the bank if I was you , just saying

I post my social in all the video description but people are lazy to read them.

It varies. Next time I'll do it.

Jobs in the post office (where you buy stamps) is easier. Working in the plant is hard unless you don't mind lifting.

Is MHA hard for a 53 year old woman? If you work in the plant do they move you around to other locations?

We are here for the money.

Apply again

@@MarieAdventure If I fail the window test for Sale and Distribution associate will they fire me?

I hope you saved some money while you are looking for a new job. People work there for the money.

Mari I was making more than I was making now at my last job my supervisor just call me yesterday and inform me that all MHA on high speed are getting there shift change my regular shift was from 2 to 10;30 now starting on Monday it from 7 pm to 3 am I'm done with the United states postal service they should be ashame for the way they treat there worker I'm waiting for new Jersey transit to call me back so that I can resign

What plant did you work at?

Thanks.
