The United States Postal Service is hosting a job fair next week, saying it is in urgent need of mail carriers, clerks and mail handlers.
Full-time and part-time positions are available. Starting pay for carriers ranges from $19 – $20 per hour.
Post offices in Bend, Redmond, Prineville and Madras will host their fairs on Thursday, July 27, from 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.
