Thanks for sharing, Marie. I have a family member with a job offer w/ the USPS, but this person is considering all of these sorts of things. It's great to hear from someone with real experience. We appreciate the work you do, as well.
Debatable. This really depends on the person. Also rural vs city carrier is quite different and can make a difference on whether someone would enjoy it or not. It's when you're a CCA or RCA that the job generally sucks because of the hours.
I actually just took the assessment for PSE and I didn’t pass. I guess it was a blessing in disguise because I’m currently working at Walmart distribution center and I haven’t been happy working there. The weekends have been taking me away from spending time with family and the hours aren’t consistent. I’m going to apply for MHA and hopefully I pass. Thank you so much
I was a CCA and MHA. I did. CCA first and let me tell you for me was hell. I live in Arizona and know that here we deal with 110°F-120F°in the summer. And you are out there in those WWI vehicles with just a tiny fan that doesn't do anything. And you are being track inch by inch because the newer scanners they give you they all have GPS in them. You don't have a route of your own. Everyday you get new routes. So is very hard to learn a route like that. Oh no #2 bathroom breaks. So CCA for me no more. MHA I really liked it. I like the fact that they don't just keep you in one spot. They moved you throughout the day. You can start receiving one day for like 3 hours, then you get moved to sacks for like 2 hours and then they moved you to do zip codes sorting. I like doing that. You are physically active and moving. I used to get a good workout and getting paid for. The one reason I left was the schedule. I worked from 9pm to 7am. Other than that was a great job. Right now I'm waiting to reapply again as soon as they start hiring for that position.
@@crlymia its not easy work ill tell you that much lol but if you like constantly moving around and doing different things it'll be manageable for you. Time flys at the post office so your shift will be over before you know it. I can't give you a specific thing the MHA does because they do ALOT of different things all in one day but I have adhd and cant sit still to same my life so its perfect for me. Plus its a constant workout so if you ever wanted to diet or anything the weight will fall of like butter, it WILL HAPPEN. I've lost 40 lbs since working there and i had given up on losing weight so I really like working lol... I'll say go for it and worst case scenario if you dont like it just quit.
Hello! I’ve seen many comments and videos about how physically demanding MHA is. I just accepted this offer and i’ll be honest, I’m out of shape and worried that I won’t be able to keep up. I’ll definitely give it my all, i’m excited and nervous at the same time to start!
Hey, I just got hired. I am 114 lbs. Very thin woman. I heard how physically demanding the job could be. I was scared but did not give up. I can tell it is a little bit challenging, but guess what? A 114 lbs woman is doing it! All the equipment has wheels. You just have to learn how to drive them.
Marie Adventure, like you I just finished the hiring process at usps for mpa. I wish I had seen your video before applying. I completed orientation at 4pm yesterday, saw your video in the evening & I emailed my resignation next morning rather than reporting in the evening at 6:30pm to begin 12 hour shifts. I too was traveling long distance about 200 miles. It was just not worth the headache for temporary work. Thank you for being the wonderful person you are. GOD BLESS YOU💓🙏🙏🙏
I am so glad I came across this video. I have a choice between the two positions and I almost picked processing but so glad I didnt...definitely going with MHA
I want to thank you for your video. Be proud of the hard work and lack of sleep you put in. Not many can do that. It is always a help when people in positions can give us input on what they learned, life is a learning experience and try not to beat yourself up for learning something from the situation. I do agree with you though, that time is very precious. Reapply for a MHA! Go after what you want. That is always tough when we make decisions without exactly knowing more detailed position info.
Remember, in many places, mail handlers ONLY work in the plant. Clerks can work in a plant doing MANY jobs or at a post office - rural or city - doing distribution, retail, etc. So it depends what you want to do. Clerk has the most options compared to RCA, CCA, MHA, etc.
Thank you for this info . I applied for PSE & MHA position. I passed both tests , And was offered the MHA position which pays a little less , But I rather stay with the MHA after seeing your video . Much love ❤️
Hi Marie ♥️♥️ thanks for the video also when you apply to a position with the post office check to see it says “360” this is a career benefit position, not a temporary position
Currently an MHA with a 360 day position. You’re not considered a career employee but after 24 months you’re guaranteed to become career. I’m getting 6 hrs a day and 6 day work weeks.
You can still apply for MHA if theirs an open application for it. I’m sure you will get it. Your awesome to work so hard and keep up, it’s hard to work for the USPS but goal is to make career. You can do it my friend
It's okay, girl. More blessings will come your way. Thank you for the information and I hope from the time you made this video to now, you are getting more sleep.
Hello Marie, How are you? Are you working a MHA right now? Today I was receiving a job offer MHA position. I’m so exciting and I accepted it already. Thank you for your VDO, It made me a much easier decision. 🥰😍😘
I applied for 2 positions near and its been 6 days now and I haven't got an email from them at all yet I also applied early in the morning the same day the position was posted so I was definitely before the 200 people.
Hi there, I have a question. They called me and said I’m going to be working on “Transportation” although I was hired as a Mail Processing Clerk, what is that exactly? I just want to have an idea. Please let me know, would appreciate it.
You will be either feeding the letter mail through the machine or sweeping the letter mail which is collecting the mail from the slots and sorting them into the right bin with zip codes labeled on them.
Its looks like you applied for a temporary position cause PSE who are also mail processing clerk do the same and they get 360, 5 day break, most major holidays and health insurance. After year full health insurance including dental, eye etc. PSE and MHA get the same on 360 deal just PSE get paid more cause if a PSE work 12 hrs days they get 19 the first 8 hrs 27 hr the 9th and 10th hrs and 11th and 12th are 37 hr. I think you just applied to a temporary position. It has to say 360 on any of the positions...cause I've worked with MHA who where temporary and they didn't get insurance or holiday pay.
Do something, instead of junk mail get rid of it entirely to save paper! I would appreciate to get my mail today. You get paid better than most, get on top of it!
I'm been a mail handler for 20 years at Santa Barbara p&dc have to be a little more physical to work the dock muls equipment my plant does it all letters periodicals packages.
Thank you for the heads up! I’m glad you got to re apply again! I’ve taken the 476 Assessment & did well! I like your videos! Where are you located? See you on the next video & by the way you are funny. I wish I could work with people like you! ❤️👌
❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ I am soooo happy for you! You deserve this and never forget that the PO is blessed to have YOU. Please ...for me....because now that I've watched 2 hours of your videos nonstop I care. 😃You mentioned being in so much pain from the job before. So this time when you go back if something starts to hurt ....try doing the tasks differently. Find a better way. And don't be shocked if your coworkers dont understand why you work differently. You know.....the ones who are walking around limping or hunched over. Those are the very ones who have never incorporated ergonomics. Don't accept that tired worn out way of thinking that Postal jobs = pain. You are so intelligent I know you've got this and I look forward to more stories. 12:37 ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
I have a question if I already did my fingerprints and background check for another plant but I choose another plant to work at and withdraw from the current job I wouldn't have to do that process all over again?
Sometimes they will deploy in another plant, it depends on the schedule you will pick. For example, the plant close to me is only accepting night shift, but the one very far like an hour away is offering the day shift. So I pick that one instead because I like to work day shift.
I was hired and told that I will be working 4hrs daily but never over 8hrs a day. We will see 😒 because 90% of reviews state otherwise. They say they tell you that but you end up working 10 and 12hr days 6+ days straight with one day off here and there. I'm going to give a try but I also have a backup job that I don't want either to interfere with, so if it's 12hr days, that will definitely be an issue.
I read they is aloe or lifting for mail handler assistant like 70 lbs. I got a job offer so just don’t know if O can handle and having back issues. I can’t lift 70 lbs.
Thank you for your videos. I recently applied for an MHA job, and have taken the Virtual exam. If I do eventually make it to an interview stage, I was wondering what I should wear. It may sound like a silly question, but I honestly am not sure. My first instinct for interviews is to wear dress pants & heels, but I don't want to come off as a diva. This is a very physical job, so I was wondering if I can wear jeans, a nice shirt, and sensible shoes. Or should I go ahead and dress up?
I’m at the same step .. just got done with the virtual assessment today .. I haven’t heard anything what are the hiring processes after that ? What all entails?
I think you were just comparing the contracts you had from 2 positions that you worked for. I think each contract can be different. Example in Janaury, they will hire assitants for only 3 months, while in Feb they might decide they want to hire someone for 1 year. THat is just an example. You didn't really compare the tasks of the 2 jobs, which would make sense for the title of your video.
you said “360 contract”, do people in this position under this contract HAVE to work all 360 days or can they leave mid way through if they found another job?
I watch your video before and now I thinking again in working for USPS but don't know what position should I apply because I don't drive. I am not confident operating the Forklift. Did you apply for MHA?
I was just offered both positions. I did some research and I learned the opposite...that PSE mail processing clerk is a better choice if you intend to make it a career. I was told that as the PSE clerk after 80 days you get an evaluation. If you did well you will continue to work or be offered a full time slot. If you were not given a good evaluation then your done.
I have another question for you. Thank you so much for responding to me last time. I was recently selected for a Mail Handler Assistant and it never said temporary on the position posting, but when I read it more thoroughly, it’s saying that I would be a non-career employee.
If the position says 360, you have one year to prove yourself for a career position. You will have a 5 days off and that's the evaluation period. Perfect attendance will help a lot.
Oh so as a 360 you get dental and vision insurance??? Wow, I received a job offer for PSE witch is 360, that’s awesome!! Thanks for sharing all this info. 😎✌🏽
@@lovefamouspeoplestar5787 permanent employees get all the health benefits. I wish I was one of them. I don't even get holiday pay when I worked on holidays.
They are both good, read the job description, and see which ones you like to do best. What matters is you like what you are doing because the job is very repetitive and it can get boring in the long run.
Hi, Marie, Thank you for your videos! You include lots of detail. Is it possible to apply for another position while you are working in a different position? Is that allowed? For example, working as a CAA and put in application for a MHA? Thanks.
i got a job offer for mail handler assistant, but right now i’m working 2 jobs, one full time job mon-fri 9am to 6pm & another 7:00pm to 10:00pm. Idk if i should leave my 2 jobs for mail handler assistant, i know usps doesn’t work saturdays and sundays which is good but i need help…
I can’t figure out why it’s taking so long after background and finger prints ? It’s been 3 weeks . They offered me the job ( MHA) and I accepted it . I have done background check for state x ray tech license so I don’t have anything derogatory. I am retired military but I don’t want to wait forever . God bless you .
@@MarieAdventure Hi there and thank you for replying . No not a thing . I keep hearing that it takes a while and to be patient but there has to be a breaking point. I am lost ! Is there any way I can find out what is going on?
Hi Marie I got the job as a Pse mail processing clerk , 365 day , 5 day break but no overtime and they will let you go after 2 months. Advice please if I should applied for the MHA / pse sales/ window clerk I need to know if these other craft if they have a lot of hours. That you hope to here from you soon
Hi dear , I have to do fingerprints for the PSE mail processing at a facility, which I am very nervous. Can you please advise me which job is better to do PSE mail processing clerk which is 360 or mail handling assistant and how many hours do you get and overtime.hoping to hear from you soon
Hi Marie ♥️♥️♥️as a MHA do you get night differential pay, do all MHA’s have the night shift? I noticed they get paid less than the pse mail processing clerks is that because of night differential pay??
MHA get night differential too. You get paid $2 less than MPA because you are entitled to all medical benefits, you get paid sick leave, and you get double pay during holidays. MPAs get none of those. You are also entitled to a career or permanent position. MPA will be let go after 2-3 months or as soon as they are no longer needed. so MHA get all the good advantage.
@@MarieAdventure Hi Marie, is the criteria the same for PSE processing clerks? Meaning: has the policy changed for PSE is this position now likely non-career to career?
Marie I was hired for the MPA because they didn’t have the MHA. I haven’t started yet waiting on background. Now they have the MHA position available. Can I apply for it or wait? Please help!!!!
I did the pre employment and finger printing like 3 weeks ago. And than I got another email doin the same thing. How long does it take for results and to call you? Is the usps confuse about emailing twice doing finger printing ?
How many positions did you apply for? If they send you 2 fingerprints for the same position, you can call them and ask why you have to do 2 fingerprinting.
You are amazing!! You are tired and all and you still have a smile on your face. God bless you Marie!!!
Thank you! You too!
Thanks for sharing, Marie. I have a family member with a job offer w/ the USPS, but this person is considering all of these sorts of things. It's great to hear from someone with real experience. We appreciate the work you do, as well.

Just DON’T DON’T DON’T be a carrier. Anything but that.

What’s the difference between mail processing clerk and PSE sales/distribution clerk?

I appreciate that!
I think you were just comparing the contracts you had from 2 positions that you worked for. I think each contract can be different. Example in Janaury, they will hire assitants for only 3 months, while in Feb they might decide they want to hire someone for 1 year. THat is just an example. You didn't really compare the tasks of the 2 jobs, which would make sense for the title of your video.
Yes you look really tired, please take care of yourself and I thank you for what you do at USPS.
Thank you Tongsin
you said “360 contract”, do people in this position under this contract HAVE to work all 360 days or can they leave mid way through if they found another job?
you can leave, 360 are the days you need to complete if you want to pursue a career position. career means permanent employee.
I watch your video before and now I thinking again in working for USPS but don't know what position should I apply because I don't drive. I am not confident operating the Forklift. Did you apply for MHA?
MHA seems best for you.
thank you so much for the info!
You are so welcome!
Hello what’s the better job to get into, mail handler assistant or mail processing clerk?
Thank you
Both
Thank you so much 🙏
You're welcome 😊
I was just offered both positions. I did some research and I learned the opposite...that PSE mail processing clerk is a better choice if you intend to make it a career. I was told that as the PSE clerk after 80 days you get an evaluation. If you did well you will continue to work or be offered a full time slot. If you were not given a good evaluation then your done.
you can do it, its not easy, but keep your eyes on the prize :)
Thank you for telling me some information because this is going to be my first job there
Glad I could help
Thank you so much for the information
You are welcome Calvin Sam
salamat po teh ^_^ sa info..
welcome!
I start next week as a MHA I just turned 18 I’m nervous any tips?😭👀
Be on time every day till you pass your 90 working days probation and do what they told you. That’s it.
same i’m 18 and i start in a few hours for graveyard shift. i’m stressin
Kaleb Courtway you’ll be fine ❤️❤️
Hows the interview?
@@Hector-qq7ou I don't think they do interviews. I just got my offer letter 30 mins ago and I didn't even have to do a interview.
Salamat for the Heads up!
No problem 😊
I have another question for you. Thank you so much for responding to me last time. I was recently selected for a Mail Handler Assistant and it never said temporary on the position posting, but when I read it more thoroughly, it’s saying that I would be a non-career employee.
If the position says 360, you have one year to prove yourself for a career position. You will have a 5 days off and that's the evaluation period. Perfect attendance will help a lot.
Hi I didn’t get this kind of email. Just the email like congratulations for this job this is required as conditional job
Thanks for your info, once you are hire, can you apply later for another job openning inside usps like driver or wath ever??
yes, you can.
Oh so as a 360 you get dental and vision insurance??? Wow, I received a job offer for PSE witch is 360, that’s awesome!! Thanks for sharing all this info. 😎✌🏽
welcome and all the best to you
I don’t think PSE get Vision
@@lovefamouspeoplestar5787 permanent employees get all the health benefits. I wish I was one of them. I don't even get holiday pay when I worked on holidays.
Hi Marie, I was accepted for two positions at the same USPS location, PSE Clerk and MHA. Which do you think is better?
They are both good, read the job description, and see which ones you like to do best. What matters is you like what you are doing because the job is very repetitive and it can get boring in the long run.
Is pse clerk the same as mpa
Hi, Marie, Thank you for your videos! You include lots of detail. Is it possible to apply for another position while you are working in a different position? Is that allowed? For example, working as a CAA and put in application for a MHA? Thanks.
Yes you can! You can transfer crafts anytime.
i got a job offer for mail handler assistant, but right now i’m working 2 jobs, one full time job mon-fri 9am to 6pm & another 7:00pm to 10:00pm. Idk if i should leave my 2 jobs for mail handler assistant, i know usps doesn’t work saturdays and sundays which is good but i need help…
It’s peak season, you will work to death 6 days a week, 12 hrs a day.
@@MarieAdventure i’m afraid that if i quit my 2 jobs before joining USPS, i hope USPS isn’t a temporary job then boot me off in february…
I can’t figure out why it’s taking so long after background and finger prints ? It’s been 3 weeks . They offered me the job ( MHA) and I accepted it . I have done background check for state x ray tech license so I don’t have anything derogatory. I am retired military but I don’t want to wait forever . God bless you .
Did you receive an email from them yet?
@@MarieAdventure Hi there and thank you for replying . No not a thing . I keep hearing that it takes a while and to be patient but there has to be a breaking point. I am lost ! Is there any way I can find out what is going on?
Hi Marie I got the job as a Pse mail processing clerk , 365 day , 5 day break but no overtime and they will let you go after 2 months. Advice please if I should applied for the MHA / pse sales/ window clerk I need to know if these other craft if they have a lot of hours. That you hope to here from you soon
Did they tell you why they will let you go in two months?
Hi dear , I have to do fingerprints for the PSE mail processing at a facility, which I am very nervous. Can you please advise me which job is better to do PSE mail processing clerk which is 360 or mail handling assistant and how many hours do you get and overtime.hoping to hear from you soon
It depends what do you want to do. Read the job description and choose which one you like 👍
Thank you for the información I liked it
Glad it was helpful!
I’m doing the same thing, just waiting for finger prints
You got it right, congrats Rigo!
Did my prints last Thursday - got my email for orientation on the 31st today.
@@X1.7 Congratulations! Welcome to the club.
Hey Marie I just applied for MHA position. Just wondering how many hours do u do a week? Is it at least 40 or more?
12 hrs a day, 6 days a week.
Skip to 6:32 .. she rambles then an ad plays till then
Hi Marie ♥️♥️♥️as a MHA do you get night differential pay, do all MHA’s have the night shift? I noticed they get paid less than the pse mail processing clerks is that because of night differential pay??
MHA get night differential too. You get paid $2 less than MPA because you are entitled to all medical benefits, you get paid sick leave, and you get double pay during holidays. MPAs get none of those. You are also entitled to a career or permanent position. MPA will be let go after 2-3 months or as soon as they are no longer needed. so MHA get all the good advantage.
Marie Adventure thank you Marie ❤️🤗
@@MarieAdventure Hi Marie, is the criteria the same for PSE processing clerks? Meaning: has the policy changed for PSE is this position now likely non-career to career?
I passed both CCA and MPC exams but I’m still figuring out which one to go for... :/ which one would you recommend?
Pick the one you think you will like to do 12 hours a day 6 days a week and graveyard shift
Do you have to do traditional interviews or just the test to get hired?
for MHA/PA seasonal employees, no interview required. For everything else, you either talk to the supervisor or postmaster
Thank you for enlighting people about USPS. Which city and state do you work? 😊
Los Angeles, CA
Thank you!
welcome!
Is the MHA a hard job? Is the job doable for someone who is in their middle age years?
Hello, if you are physically fit, you can do it. I have co-workers in their 60s and they are stronger than I am :)
Marie I was hired for the MPA because they didn’t have the MHA. I haven’t started yet waiting on background. Now they have the MHA position available. Can I apply for it or wait? Please help!!!!
You can apply for both, and reject the one you do not like.
@@MarieAdventure thank you so much for the info. I applied for MHA and sitting on the Pre-Hire list. I started the temp position.
I did the pre employment and finger printing like 3 weeks ago. And than I got another email doin the same thing. How long does it take for results and to call you? Is the usps confuse about emailing twice doing finger printing ?
How many positions did you apply for? If they send you 2 fingerprints for the same position, you can call them and ask why you have to do 2 fingerprinting.
@@MarieAdventure o probably 2 and one got repalaced so idk. but is that how the process goes when?
@@MarieAdventure i called san diego distrct and the city i live at, no one answers.
@@ohsgurl they are close on weekends
Any way I can study/practice for the questionnaire online?
