You’re the Man. Thanks so very much for your videos.

I just wanted to thank you for going into such depth!! At the beginning of the video you appologize for the lengthy time, no need to be sorry!! GREAT JOB!!!

Wonderful video! Thank you!

Appreciate this soooooo much thank you 😊 🙏🏽

Thank you! That was very detailed.

great video, thanks man .. good luck everyone

Very informative! Thank you!!

I figured out why I got confused on the fingerprinting stuff! Thanks so much for this video. It helped me realize I was supposed to email someone about scheduling a time to have it done. I didn’t realize that’s how it worked. But I reread my stuff after seeing your emails and saw where I had messed up. It says to do it within 5 days. I’m a day or two passed that but I just sent my email off. Let’s hope I didn’t mess this up lol

thank you this was very helpful!

Thank you for this info. I am in Kansas. I applied for a carrier job and about a week later I got the conditional job offer. I too did not have an in-person interview, just an email stating that because of my resume and assessment test, that they are offering me a job for a rural carrier. I was excited! I am so glad you mentioned SSN card because I was not told to bring that. I go in first thing in the morning for my fingerprints. Ready to get started.

Thank you so much for this video.

🚶‍♂️.......Just walking by. . . . Very detailed.

Applied for CCA on 5/27, got my fingerprints done on 6/6, and today on 6/12 my background check cleared and I start 6/22. I had been stressing a bit because everywhere I check I was told to expect MONTHS for my background check to clear. I'm so relieved.

He is right, I did the same process in the last 2 weeks. Waiting for my start date

very helpful video, appreciate it bro! I did my W4 and emergency contact but didnt receive my NACI SF85 I checked on my computer, but nothing. But I did receive the fingerprint schedule and the days that I can go get it done.

Appreciate the video! The NACI portion is so odd to me lol. I've seen people say they never reach out to their references while others say they do. What exactly are they calling them for? Character questions? 4 people who are not family members for the first 2 seems excessive lol. I get the past boss/supervisor reference.

Thank you for your video, I just landed a position as a CCA and I go for orientation next week it's 3 days and the 4th day is the mail truck driving test I don't know what happens after this but I hope everything turns out well, thank you again

Hey Charles, first of all, thank you for sharing!! I wanted to see if you can give a little more detail on your experience and hire date. I am scheduled for fingerprinting tomorrow but I have already completed the SF-85 (Background check form) a few days back when I accepted the job offer. I read that your background check only took 3 weeks, but when did you know and how were you informed? To be more detailed on schedule, when did your orientation start, when was your 1st paycheck, etc...? I was a Federal Officer with Secret Clearance for 10 years so I know my background should be about as clear as it gets. I also have minimal changes in address, or anything different over the past 5 yrs. Just trying to calculate an estimated start date to schedule my personal things without chancing a hire date dilemma. In addition, how do you like the job now that you've been doing it for a few months? I've seen some other videos that people complain about quite a bit, just wanted your thoughts.

This is very informative. I’m waiting on my fingerprints email. I emailed the person on my letter and hasn’t heard back it’s been three days.

Thanks for sharing! I just got my fingerprints done today. The original location that I applied for is further than a job that just came up closer to me. I submitted an application for the closer location. Hopefully I can slide right into the closer location after I get all the background business taken care of. I'm kind of worried because I've been arrested five times in the span of 3-5 years about 10 years ago. No felonies, just being young and stupid =/ I am ex-military and I think that's what got me to where I am now because I only scored a 85 on the test. Im Applying for CCA... 🤞

Thx for sharing this information

Thank you so much for your videos. Very informative. How long did you wait after you did your fingerprints to receive an orientation date? I didn't receive a file jacket. They told me there are no more interviews, and as of right now, no drug tests.

I applied for the PSE Clerk position in early September 2021. I just received the email for fingerprints and interview and today is November 30, 2021. I go in the morning...so yeah it's a loooooooong process.

very good video bro im in the same track as u,,,im doing my prints tomorrow so lets see how it goes and also the mailman told me we no longer need an interview here in california either,,im also waititng on my background to clear ,,,,well see how it goes,,,

I applied roughly the end of July or early august and went through the same steps and yesterday I received a email from the usps HR with a effective date of Nov 13 that says I'll receive another email by the Thursday before the 13 on where to report to and what time for orientation if this helps anyone with their timeline... now just watching the inbox

Great video. I accepted the offer on Dec 23rd. Sent NACI and driving info. Can't wait for the call.

I’ve failed the assessment 3x. I worked with the PO for 5yrs as a carrier. Moved for my husbands new job, so I had to quit. But the testing changed and I can’t seem to pass it and I have to wait another year. Idk what I am doing wrong.

I applied for a CCA position on 2/15/23 and started orientation 3/20/23. My PO's PM was SHOCKED that my app/offer/prints/background check was done so fast. She fully expected it would take me 3-4 months from application to 1st day of orientation.

I did my MVR on 1/12/22 still waiting to hear something back 😫 I’m tired of working at Amazon warehouse and I did Amazon delivery for a year so I have a little background in delivering.

I am in Offer phase for more than 60 days… background check completed.. in ready to hire status.. Do you know what might happened?

Thanks for the very informative vid. Would you happen to know if a previous suspended drivers license (currently reinstated) would disqualify me? It was suspended this year and last.

Great video! How long did I take for you to hear back after your fingerprints?

Montana is super quick. CALIFORNIA... I've signed up in June and just received my position cancellation letter today. Took them close to 6 months just to tell me no jobs are available. SMH HR

So my background was done Dec 22nd and I’m still on offer EXT. GIS said they had to complete and send my background to usps but couldn’t verify education or employment probably because of Covid. So with that being said, will that disqualify me? I also had something dismissed in 2016 that she said isn’t an issue for hiring because it was dismissed. Thank you! Still waiting on orientation and I’ve received the job offer already.

i wouldn"t even think off working for the post office i do everthing by email pay bills and have the pharmacy dalivery they are so far behand the times the mail is slowing down prices are going up

I have a questions, is NCxxx with all digits is job number?

i called and schedule for pre-employment session on this coming Friday. My postmaster told me he will schedule my fingerprint on the day i come for session.

Thank you for the very informative video. I just finished the DMV record portion. Is this the same as the background check?

Im having trouble with the 5 years of background check work. I put the dates in but somewhere is a problem. 5 years from today is 11/20/2016 right? I have from such a date - to today.

I just accepted my offer. Had the GSI driver check and get prints done Monday. Need to do the NACI background tonight. One thing I’m confused about is that it asks for the business address of previous employers. But it also asks for the supervisor physical address? My previous supervisors have since moved on from those companies. Do you enter the actual address for the supervisor?

good morning ☀️ I have a question 1 of my jobs I applied for say offer pxt I think. But I haven’t gotten my offer letter yet been a few days. But I just finsh my sent in my driver dmv background, is that the reason you think I haven gotten the offer letter yet they waiting on the dmv background?

Hello I stumbled across your video it was very informative. I applied as a PSE Mail clerk Aug 30, 22 & received my job offer Sept 5. I submitted by Naci background on the 8th & did my fingerprints on the 19th I’m constantly checking my email for my orientation date I’m so anxious to start lol do you know how long it takes for the background to clear or for me to get an orientation date?

Thank you for sharing your experiences! May I ask how long does it take for fingerprint to your orientation day, please? I made the appointment to do my fingerprint this coming Monday. I'm wondering if I can get to know when I can get started to work...Thank you anyway!

I did my fingerprints on 10/07 and after not hearing back for 4 weeks I emailed usps and the said I’m on an automated list. It’s now 11/17 and haven’t received and email yet. Is this normal?

I applied for a TTO position last month. I received a phone interview. The lady says I passed and she would push my application through. She did tell me the post office is slow in hiring, so it may be a while. I think it's been almost 1 month since the phone interview and nothing yet. I am an Army veteran I heard that helps. Do you have an idea of how long I should expect to get the ball rolling. I applied for Palatine Illinois location TTO... thank you

I just got GIS background on pre hire yesterday. I have a question does offer or denied before you accept. Does they told you to drive llv or personal vehicle before you click? I’m worried if I click personal vehicle which I do not interest I will deny. I hope it tell me which vehicle I will drive.

If you have a misdemeanor on your background would you be considered if it was 5yrs ago.

Im so confused most peoples videos on the hiring process says that you will get a email about your driving license etc i got that but the next thing they say you will receive is a job offer i never got the job offer the next thing i was sent was a consumer report my background info and never heard anything else? Should i be concerned

Thanks for this video. I applied for a CCA and got the email acknowledgement of my application and a few days after I received an email about a Driving Record Check; to which I followed. It's weird to me that I never got the assessment invite but I got the driving record check. =/

The only number I have from my previous employer is a 1 800 HR number to verify I worked there. And I was let go. Do you think that will be a problem?

Quick question....did you need a copy (certified) of your high school diploma? Or just the school, location, and start and finish dates?

After completing fingerprint, how long does it takes to receive email for "National Agency Check with Inquires (NACI), SF85. for background check. Thank you

All sounds so positive for everyone. I take it if you get any score below 90, you pretty much have no chance? Can anyone advise? It's been weeks since I was placed on the Pre-Hire list with nothing more than a Motor Vehicle Records Search, which I submitted minutes after it was requested 9 days ago. I take it even though my current online status says Pre-Hire list, I'm not really being considered for the positions?

Hi, thanks for the video and wanted to know how long you have to wait for them to get back to you?because I just finished the assessment on 31 of January 22 and my score was 85 but didn’t get any email or feedback from them.thanks

Hello, Mr.Charles. I've applied and passed the assessment for the PSE Sales and Distribution position on the 10th of April of this year. I've completed my fingerprint screening on the 5th of May. My candidate profile shows that I'm currently on the "pre-hire" list. Would you happen to know when exactly I may receive an email in regards to the next step?

Where do they generally send you to do fingerprints? I emailed about scheduling for mine but I'm confused where they send you

May I ask questions, please? I applied for the CCA on June 12th and I was fingerprinted, assessment test, and passed. I am waiting for the release of my driver's license and the background check form was sent right along with the driver's license. So, what else is left to do other than the drug test? Thank you.

Big question man!! On the finger prints I called and email the hr or supervisor from my branch and she told me I have to wait for usps to email me on a email explaining the different locations where I could go get my finger prints and also the dates. Does it sound about right ? I already completed all the other steps on the assessments and background info all I’m waiting is for inductions on where to go get my finger prints

Do you have any advice on this, my problem is that I'm accepting job offers with the post office. But when it comes to the scheduling for the fingerprinting I'm not receiving that email. The number that they provide is a automatic service. I'm trying to call people about this issue because I have missed out on employment because the time has passed for me to schedule fingerprinting.

I went in for my finger prints on Monday I'm just waiting for it to clear its Friday now lol

Hey! I applied for CCA and my application went from pre hire list to offer phase then back to pre hire list. Is that a bad thing?

Did you have to do a drug test? Also, what are the days off? I’ve seen a video of a CCA saying they worked 38 days straight. Is this normal?

Hi I received a offer by phone call to say my background check was complete and offering the position! However when I contact GIS background my background is still processing. Which is confusing! Anyone experienced this?

hi charles, i accepted the job offer yesterday. i got email today from HR clerk , i need to call my postmaster and schedule pre-employment onboarding session. i dont know waht that means ?

About references 3 lists can’t do family members on it??

I applied for Mha waiting for background i check my email like it fb instagram are my lover texting me 🤦🏿‍♀️

Waiting for orientation since September 2021 😢

Hey Charles, thanks for all the great information. My application process says "hiring list" do you know what that means? I have been in the stage for about 3 weeks, I have already done the motor vehicle background check. Thank you for any information you have.

When did u quit your current job during this process?

Hello, I took the assessment last night and passed. My status is currently "Eligible", in your experience what happens after the "Eligible" status? How long does it normally take to go to the "offer phase" if they want to offer it to me?

I good morning I have a question I did My 474 assesssment I got ,,90% and I send all My information for DMV record but I saw You Video and You Say we need the select service I don't have because I have more the 26 years when arrive to this Beautyful country You think is afecct to My aplication

What do ",OFFER PHASE EXT", mean. i applied for a job on Oct 24 2021. I accept the offer, did the background and waiting on results, but i never did the fingerprint session yet because the postal personnel never pick up the phone and didnt answer any emails, so i didnt do my fingerprint in that 5 day period because i couldn't reach the personnel. Anyway, what do "OFFER PHASE (EXT)" mean . Thank you

Hey Charles, how long after your background check cleared did they send you an orientation email? Mine cleared on 11/11/21 and I’m still waiting on an email, status still says in process offer phase. Thanks

I have a question if anyone can answer. I want to apply for a California Post Office job that doesn't require driving. Like mail processing clerk or mail handle assistant. I have a Nevada Driver license though. Do I need a California ID or Driver License to apply for a California job? I do live in California just haven't switched my Driver License to California.

Does speeding tickets matter and the points on your license? For the dmv portion

So I got a congrats I got the offer for the job I did an assessment prior and got 100 percent then I did the background check but I think it was just driving record. Then I got an email for fingerprinting, now will I have another background check done ? Is the fingerprinting a background check or just for usps personal records ?

Hello Charles, Will I have to live in the United States to pass a background check.I am a dv lottery winner and applied for usps mail handler assistant . So , It’s just been a month I came here ,will I be disqualified.

How do you find out if you passed the background? Who do I email or call to get fingerprints done. I haven’t received anything.

I applied 9/13 got mvr check request 9/14 filled it out the 9/15 and on 9/17 Sunday night it changed to offer phase (ext) now today 9/20 it went back to pre hire list why is that? Or does it always go back to pre hire list after they got background back for driving record. It’s clean btw

This morning they sent me a email for my orientation and just now they sent me another email saying headquarters has been unable to process me completely does this mean I won’t get the job??

Hey Charles how are the medical benefits for CCA?? When do they start and how much or do they pay🤔Thanks

what happened if you didnt finish high school but im in school so a can finish, im in the process but i put in my application im in school now will that affect my employment with usps thanks loved the videos

Waiting for orientation... hope I hear from them soon 🙏

Hey Charles I’m new to your channel, I got a question, I recently applied to be a city carrier assistant (only job available right now at usps) they finally contacted me to consent to background check, do you think they disqualified candidates for speeding tickets? I got one speeding ticket 3 years ago 😢😢☹️ but Thsts the only thing on my record, will they disqualify me or still give me a chance ? Thank you

i resign from cca position bcz i dont feel comfortable driving Ilv and also postmaster 1 ton truck. so i applied for MHA position yesterday. should i still have go through fingerprint, background check and orination process.

My usps application status changed to " hiring list " from "offer phase Ext" ? what is that means ? i already completed my GIS on may 18, 2022. i still cant get my job offer ? does it takes time after completing GSI ? Thank you

Thanks I got the job

Hey I did fast track paperwork for one location. Another location emailed me today to come do one for their facility. If I go fill out the paperwork for this last one will the first one be voided or it’s still either one can take me? I’m just waiting for my fingerprints results

Hi Charles i didn’t receive the invite to take my assessment for the cca do you know what i can do?

I went in first week of march this year for fingerprinting no call yet. Unaware of how long it will take for a me to get a hiring date..

I don't received my email for (NACI) background check yet. just completed my fingerprint today at usps facility. Do you think i will receive email for background check where i fill up my 5 years of employment , residence , 3 references and my education etc. I know all this my watching your KZfaq vedio. i really appreciated all the information you provided in the vedio.

Hi, I just finished inputting my info for my driving record. How long until I do the fingerprints?

Hi have a question? So after you get the job offer and you accepted it, how long will it take to receive the email from NACI? Thanks

Hi .I applied for CCA and it went from pre hire list to Offer phase and back to pre hire list .Do you have recommendations.?Thank you

Hello, thanks for the video. Is the assessment test the only test you have to take as a CCA? Is this test administered online or you have to go to a central location to take the tests in person?

I did my fingerprints 2 months now. I'm still waiting for the nest step how long do I wait?

Anyone know if it’s possible to get a USPS carrier position with a 10 year old DWI?

I have a new question , it says naci questionnaire what if you do not have prior supervisors e mails?

would you think after motor vehicle search record comes clear then they offer a job ?
