DENVER — The United States Postal Service (USPS) is holding a week-long job fair before the busy holiday season.
The hiring "Mega Blitz" for 1,000 mail carriers, mail handlers and clerks will run through Saturday, Oct. 29, at 14 postal facilities across Colorado.
The available positions offer starting pay from $18.92 to $21.19 an hour, and according to the release, are great for anyone seeking fast-paced, rewarding work environments with good pay. The jobs are the first step that could lead to long-term careers for USPS.
“The key to success for any football team, including our hometown Broncos, is the consistent recruitment of quality players,” USPS Colorado District Manager Jason McMahill said. “In the case of this Mega Blitz hiring event, we’re looking for 1,000 superstar recruits to help stock our roster and lead the Postal Service to victory on the field of customer service!”
