Do you think I can get a job at the post office with this job history?

Before college and during college I had some odd jobs but I never had a long term job.

After I graduated from college (UW-Madison) with a bachelors degree in computer science, I got a job as a software developer. I worked for 4 months and than I quit. I lived off the money I had for about 1 year. Than I moved home with my parents for the last 3 years. Since moving I have played poker online (I tryed to become a professional poker player). I have made a little money from playing poker but I have not been working in the last 4 years. I had one job working with computers but it was temporary.

I am looking at both city carrier and rural carriers positions with usps. My communication and people skills aren't the best since I am shy and introverted. But I am intelligent and I am confident that I can score high on the tests. So do you think I have a reasonable chance to pass the interview if I score well on the exam or am I wasting my time?

For a City Carrier position you take a postal exam. Your work references have no bearing, they may not even ask for them. It is not like interviewing for a private job. You do need to have a good driving record, drug test & criminal background/fingerprint check. You also will have to take a driving test in a right drive postal vehicle called an LLV. When I took it, I had to drive backwards through tall orange poles weaving back & forth through them (so that you understand how to use the mirrors).
Rural carrier positions are more based on the interview. As the local postmaster has the final say. (City carriers, you usually apply through the human resource center.)

Go to USPS.com & click "jobs", then click "mail processing jobs". Good Luck!

everyone has a reasonable chance as long as there is no criminal background
try it.... it cant hurt

I wouldn't hire you in any business.

Logically........mon ami.....you would complete an employment application and submit it to the potential employeur, Non?

yes i think you can call your local post office to find out where you can take the test most of the time you start out as temp and move up as long as you can pass the test

I passed the test with flying colors.....as longs as you do good on that and are polite and courteous in the interview, you should be good.
