USPS Job Fair Coming To Newport

If you are looking for a new job, the United States Postal Service may be looking for you. Postal officials are inviting job seekers to learn more about delivery employment opportunities at the post office with a statewide job fair. That job fair will be held on Thursday, January 25, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., at 65 select post offices throughout Tennessee, including the Newport and Dandridge post offices.

Career employees with the postal service can earn premium long-term benefits that complement good pay….that pay starting at $20.38 an hour for a postal carrier. Some of the benefits include multiple health and life insurance choices, pension benefits and a Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) like a 401(k), and vacation time and sick leave.

The job fair is part of the Postal Service’s 10-year plan, “Delivering for America.” Postal officials will be onsite to share information about employment opportunities as a Rural Carrier Associate (RCA) and Assistant Rural Carrier (ARC).
