This is how my process went 5/16/23: Applied for the CCA position in my city 5/16/23: took the 474 assessment and scored 100.00 5/23/23: received an email to submit my driving record etc. 5/26/23: received an email with the job offer and accepted 5/26/23: received the email to submit my background info 5/30/23: received an email to go get my finger prints done on 5/31 5/31/23: went to get my finger prints done and went to do the job overview at the post office 6/2/23: received the call saying my first day of orientation is 6/21/23 at 5:45 am
I didn't have to take a test for the rca spot I guess since I did the test back in august of last year they still use my old one but I have applied for CCA in Feb of 2024 did not get anything for that spot so I just applied for rca this month and hoping I hear back from them I also applied for the svc clerk spot now I Did have to take an exam for that
I just wanted to thank you for going into such depth!! At the beginning of the video you appologize for the lengthy time, no need to be sorry!! GREAT JOB!!!
Thank you for this info. I am in Kansas. I applied for a carrier job and about a week later I got the conditional job offer. I too did not have an in-person interview, just an email stating that because of my resume and assessment test, that they are offering me a job for a rural carrier. I was excited! I am so glad you mentioned SSN card because I was not told to bring that. I go in first thing in the morning for my fingerprints. Ready to get started.
@@smokinchuck I have a question. I’m 50 and have not much in retirement. Is it worth me taking this job and having to wait for the opportunity to move in as a regular not knowing how long it will take?
@@thehedgerow Well you would only have to wait a max of 2 yrs to become regular/career carrier as per the union NALC contract. All depends on your facility capacity of carriers they have. If people quit, retire, and/or transfer and etc… You might get career faster than 2 yrs.🤷♂️
Thank you😁👍🏻 more to come as soon as I start orientation. Plus start doing videos for the Keto diet and watch this weight drop off from all the walking/exercise I’ll be doing. Love your videos BTW 😁👍🏻
I figured out why I got confused on the fingerprinting stuff! Thanks so much for this video. It helped me realize I was supposed to email someone about scheduling a time to have it done. I didn’t realize that’s how it worked. But I reread my stuff after seeing your emails and saw where I had messed up. It says to do it within 5 days. I’m a day or two passed that but I just sent my email off. Let’s hope I didn’t mess this up lol
Appreciate the video! The NACI portion is so odd to me lol. I've seen people say they never reach out to their references while others say they do. What exactly are they calling them for? Character questions? 4 people who are not family members for the first 2 seems excessive lol. I get the past boss/supervisor reference.
Yep exactly, character to who you are and can be trusted, responsible and etc… 🤷♂️ Ya them calling people tends to be hit and miss lol 😂 Thanks for watching 😁👍🏻
Applied for CCA on 5/27, got my fingerprints done on 6/6, and today on 6/12 my background check cleared and I start 6/22. I had been stressing a bit because everywhere I check I was told to expect MONTHS for my background check to clear. I'm so relieved.
Congrats on the job. Ya things are more streamlined now and it’s not holiday season. Glad everything went smooth and fast for you 👍🏻😁. I made this video back in fall of 2021.
I applied for the PSE Clerk position in early September 2021. I just received the email for fingerprints and interview and today is November 30, 2021. I go in the morning...so yeah it's a loooooooong process.
very helpful video, appreciate it bro! I did my W4 and emergency contact but didnt receive my NACI SF85 I checked on my computer, but nothing. But I did receive the fingerprint schedule and the days that I can go get it done.
Ya, my wife just got on and hers took a few days to receive her NACI link for the criminal background check. I’d say, if you didn’t receive it when you go and get your fingerprints done. Let them know you haven’t received anything. They should be able contact/email recruiting. At least that’s what I would do 🤷♂️. Thank you for watching and glad it helped you. 😉👍🏻
very good video bro im in the same track as u,,,im doing my prints tomorrow so lets see how it goes and also the mailman told me we no longer need an interview here in california either,,im also waititng on my background to clear ,,,,well see how it goes,,,
I applied roughly the end of July or early august and went through the same steps and yesterday I received a email from the usps HR with a effective date of Nov 13 that says I'll receive another email by the Thursday before the 13 on where to report to and what time for orientation if this helps anyone with their timeline... now just watching the inbox
Awesome news Brent and congrats 👍🏻 Ya that’s what I’m doing is watching my inbox 🤔wondering when that day comes that my background check clears and get my orientation email.
Hey Charles, first of all, thank you for sharing!! I wanted to see if you can give a little more detail on your experience and hire date. I am scheduled for fingerprinting tomorrow but I have already completed the SF-85 (Background check form) a few days back when I accepted the job offer. I read that your background check only took 3 weeks, but when did you know and how were you informed? To be more detailed on schedule, when did your orientation start, when was your 1st paycheck, etc...? I was a Federal Officer with Secret Clearance for 10 years so I know my background should be about as clear as it gets. I also have minimal changes in address, or anything different over the past 5 yrs. Just trying to calculate an estimated start date to schedule my personal things without chancing a hire date dilemma. In addition, how do you like the job now that you've been doing it for a few months? I've seen some other videos that people complain about quite a bit, just wanted your thoughts.
I was informed by who would be my future supervisor. She called me to let me know that my background check cleared before I got my email notification of it being cleared from NACI. Please see my playlist of USPS videos. I put out more videos of my experiences and go over emails received and my training schedule orientation and hire date and etc. 😁👍🏻 Next video to watch will be called USPS Update on Orientation/start date. Then other videos covering day 2 of training(defensive driving), LLV training, shadow day, going over CCA Academy. Then videos covering all 3 days of CCA Academy and on from there. Thank you for watching and congrats on your job offer 😉😁👍🏻
@@smokinchuck Gotcha, I saw you had more videos to watch since my comment. Side note- I just saw that you are also an avid Hot sauce connoisseur! I own a small hot sauce company in the Midwest so I may have to send you a sample pack to get an honest review from you! Thanks again for the info!!!
@@marcusandreopoulos3114 Oh yes, I love my hot stuffs. Got pepper pod season coming back up and more LOF(League of Fire) challenges I want to complete this year.😉😁👍🏻 I love to try and review your sauces. My email is under the About Tab. Again thanks for watching!
Thank you for your video, I just landed a position as a CCA and I go for orientation next week it's 3 days and the 4th day is the mail truck driving test I don't know what happens after this but I hope everything turns out well, thank you again
Thanks for sharing! I just got my fingerprints done today. The original location that I applied for is further than a job that just came up closer to me. I submitted an application for the closer location. Hopefully I can slide right into the closer location after I get all the background business taken care of. I'm kind of worried because I've been arrested five times in the span of 3-5 years about 10 years ago. No felonies, just being young and stupid =/ I am ex-military and I think that's what got me to where I am now because I only scored a 85 on the test. Im Applying for CCA... 🤞
i wouldn"t even think off working for the post office i do everthing by email pay bills and have the pharmacy dalivery they are so far behand the times the mail is slowing down prices are going up
Thank you so much for your videos. Very informative. How long did you wait after you did your fingerprints to receive an orientation date? I didn't receive a file jacket. They told me there are no more interviews, and as of right now, no drug tests.
@@smokinchuck I called the GIS NACI today to find out the status, and they told me that they sent it to the USPS on December 4th. So, now I'm waiting for the fingerprints. Did you say it took the fingerprints three weeks? Or the NACI?
Montana is super quick. CALIFORNIA... I've signed up in June and just received my position cancellation letter today. Took them close to 6 months just to tell me no jobs are available. SMH HR
I did my MVR on 1/12/22 still waiting to hear something back 😫 I’m tired of working at Amazon warehouse and I did Amazon delivery for a year so I have a little background in delivering.
I just accepted my offer. Had the GSI driver check and get prints done Monday. Need to do the NACI background tonight. One thing I’m confused about is that it asks for the business address of previous employers. But it also asks for the supervisor physical address? My previous supervisors have since moved on from those companies. Do you enter the actual address for the supervisor?
I was in the same deal also. I just still put the business address in there. Because if they call? They’ll need to speak to the HR person to confirm job history. 🤷♂️ Hope this helps! BTW Congrats on the job offer 😉👍🏻
@@smokinchuck wow fast reply. My issue is that the company we both worked for shut down their Los Angeles facility - where I am located. So neither of us are there. And they are notorious for not answering their phone line. They pass the buck of dealing with calls to supervisors which I was one of. Funny thing is...they are a huge company. And they are a legitimate company. Just...awful with particular things. While they do have other facilities in the USA and elsewhere, they may not answer the phone calls in HR. Thanks for the help!
Thank you! Tell you the truth IDK?🤷♂️ I just got a call from the supervisor that background check had cleared and when to come in. Nothing was mentioned about fingerprints 🤷♂️ lol.
I’ve failed the assessment 3x. I worked with the PO for 5yrs as a carrier. Moved for my husbands new job, so I had to quit. But the testing changed and I can’t seem to pass it and I have to wait another year. Idk what I am doing wrong.
Search on TH-cam and you’ll find some videos. I was confused at first trying the practice tests. Then watched a couple of videos and understood how they are supposed to be answered. Lol 🤦♂️🙄
i called and schedule for pre-employment session on this coming Friday. My postmaster told me he will schedule my fingerprint on the day i come for session.
I applied for a CCA position on 2/15/23 and started orientation 3/20/23. My PO's PM was SHOCKED that my app/offer/prints/background check was done so fast. She fully expected it would take me 3-4 months from application to 1st day of orientation.
Hi I received a offer by phone call to say my background check was complete and offering the position! However when I contact GIS background my background is still processing. Which is confusing! Anyone experienced this?
No on the drug testing! Days off depends on the need for carriers and the mail flow. I had different day/s off each week. No, they cannot work you that many days straight. According to the NALC union contract. They can only work you 8 days straight, then they have to at least give you a day off. Either that guy is lying or he volunteered to work that many days straight!
@@smokinchuck thank you so much for your quick response! I appreciate it! I’m really thinking of job hopping and trying out being a CCA! I think I would enjoy it.
@@breannepiper you’re very welcome and thank you for watching 😉👍🏻. Ya if you don’t mind physical work. There’s more to it than walking or driving around the neighborhoods delivering mail and packages. Just remember, you’re going to be starting at the bottom. You’re going to get some of the sucky routes to work. But you’ll get a little of some nice ones too. But you gotta take the good with the bad 😉👍🏻. Just make it past your 90 day probationary period. You’ll be working a lot of hours too, but very nice paychecks 😁👊🏻lol
Ya if the 800 number is all you have, then use that. I had to use a 800 number for one of my job references because headquarters was located in another state. Thanks for watching 😉👍🏻
So my background was done Dec 22nd and I’m still on offer EXT. GIS said they had to complete and send my background to usps but couldn’t verify education or employment probably because of Covid. So with that being said, will that disqualify me? I also had something dismissed in 2016 that she said isn’t an issue for hiring because it was dismissed. Thank you! Still waiting on orientation and I’ve received the job offer already.
Congrats on the job offer 😉😁👍🏻GIS background was for your vehicle background check. What about your NACI Criminal Background check? Has that cleared yet?
Thanks for the very informative vid. Would you happen to know if a previous suspended drivers license (currently reinstated) would disqualify me? It was suspended this year and last.
Thank you and glad you liked it. I couldn’t tell you if it would or not. Like anything else applying with the government, I would just be honest with your information and answers 👍🏻
If/when you get a job offer and accept it, you’ll receive another email with instructions on who and how to contact about scheduling an appointment for doing your fingerprints and doing your Background Check. Thank you watching 😉👍🏻
May I ask questions, please? I applied for the CCA on June 12th and I was fingerprinted, assessment test, and passed. I am waiting for the release of my driver's license and the background check form was sent right along with the driver's license. So, what else is left to do other than the drug test? Thank you.
Thanks for watching 😉👍🏻 it’s just a waiting game now. Drivers license background can take a few weeks to clear, then your criminal background check can take 6-8 weeks,though usually only a couple of weeks on average from what others have commented on. Mine took 3.5 weeks to clear. Just be patient, it’s a waiting game. Did they tell you about needing to do a drug test? Because they haven’t been doing them/not needed. Once everything clears, you’ll hear from someone and receive an email with your start date and when & where your orientation is. Hope this answers your questions and helps.
Thank you watching and glad you liked and found it helpful. To answer your question, no! There’s the DMV background check and then if you get the job offer and accept it, then you do the criminal background check.
Thank you for sharing your experiences! May I ask how long does it take for fingerprint to your orientation day, please? I made the appointment to do my fingerprint this coming Monday. I'm wondering if I can get to know when I can get started to work...Thank you anyway!
It will depend on how long your background check takes to clear. Once that clears, they will notify you via email on your hire date and orientation date. Thank you for watching 😁😉👍🏻
@@xiaoqingzhou2669 ya mine took 3 weeks, but this was also during the holiday season for Christmas. Hopefully yours won’t take that long.👍🏻Btw congrats on the job offer 😁👊🏻
I just got GIS background on pre hire yesterday. I have a question does offer or denied before you accept. Does they told you to drive llv or personal vehicle before you click? I’m worried if I click personal vehicle which I do not interest I will deny. I hope it tell me which vehicle I will drive.
I applied for a TTO position last month. I received a phone interview. The lady says I passed and she would push my application through. She did tell me the post office is slow in hiring, so it may be a while. I think it's been almost 1 month since the phone interview and nothing yet. I am an Army veteran I heard that helps. Do you have an idea of how long I should expect to get the ball rolling. I applied for Palatine Illinois location TTO... thank you
@@LillianLerdo depends on the facility you’re at. If that facility can process badge or not? My supervisor took my photo and sent it to Billings, MT and got my badge a few days later. Whereas my wife did orientation at Billings facility and took her picture and got her badge right then and there that same day. 🤷♂️
Hello I stumbled across your video it was very informative. I applied as a PSE Mail clerk Aug 30, 22 & received my job offer Sept 5. I submitted by Naci background on the 8th & did my fingerprints on the 19th I’m constantly checking my email for my orientation date I’m so anxious to start lol do you know how long it takes for the background to clear or for me to get an orientation date?
Thank you for watching and glad my video helped. NACI background check can take 6-8 weeks. But, mine only took 3 weeks and my wife recently got on and hers took 4 weeks. Others that have commented in other videos, I have seen 2weeks all the way to 2 1/2 months lol 🤷♂️🤦♂️. I did the same thing you’re doing and checking my email every day lol. All I can say is to be patient, you’ll receive an email or your new supervisor will call you OR even a person from recruiting will contact you, this happened to my wife, which was kinda weird lol 😂 Hopefully this helps, btw, congrats on the job offer 😉👍🏻
Thank you lol my dad works at the distribution center and told me having patience will be worth it congrats to you wife for joining I’m so excited to start my career
I did my fingerprints on 10/07 and after not hearing back for 4 weeks I emailed usps and the said I’m on an automated list. It’s now 11/17 and haven’t received and email yet. Is this normal?
Well if you did your fingerprints, that means you accepted the job offer, next you would have filled out your background check information. Your probably waiting on your background check to clear which can take up to 6-8 weeks to clear.👍🏻 a lot of people are in the same boat, just waiting on their background checks to clear and then get their orientation date email.
Big question man!! On the finger prints I called and email the hr or supervisor from my branch and she told me I have to wait for usps to email me on a email explaining the different locations where I could go get my finger prints and also the dates. Does it sound about right ? I already completed all the other steps on the assessments and background info all I’m waiting is for inductions on where to go get my finger prints
The fingerprint information you’ll get when you receive a job offer email from ecareerworkflow@usps.gov. If you receive that email and accept the job offer, then you’ll receive the fingerprint and NACI background check information and how to complete those steps. 😉👍🏻 In that email, it will provide contact information of who to contact to schedule your fingerprint appointment. Plus the link for the NACI Criminal Background Check. Just need to be patient with the application process. There’s a lot of hurry up and wait. My wife recently got on and I told her the application/hiring process can take 2+ months and hers took 2 months from start to finish and starting orientation. Hope this helps 😉👍🏻 and thanks for watching!
@@smokinchuck Hey i got the fingerprinting this week, is there any drug test associated with this position ? also when do they normally give it if they do?
@@marlwoods23 No problem! Thanks for watching 😉👍🏻There’s more videos to watch after this one. Orientation and shadow day experience. CCA Academy days and OJI day 1,2, and 3.
Do you have any advice on this, my problem is that I'm accepting job offers with the post office. But when it comes to the scheduling for the fingerprinting I'm not receiving that email. The number that they provide is a automatic service. I'm trying to call people about this issue because I have missed out on employment because the time has passed for me to schedule fingerprinting.
When you got your job offer email, is there an attachment pdf file to open at the bottom of the email? That would have your instructions with a phone number or people of contact to get/schedule your finger prints done. 1. Is receiving an email from ecareerworkflow@usps.gov. 2. Is your person of contact via phone or email to schedule your fingerprint appointment. 3. Is the link to the NACI background check.
@@weknowhisvoice9296 I’m assuming you got your accept or decline email, where you click on your link to accept or decline the job offer and you accepted the job? Also, your USPS conditional job offer email. Does it show a persons name like example DOE.E.JANE@usps.gov who sent it to you? You could try and reply to that email and see if that person replies back with instructions or reasoning of what’s going on? 🤷♂️
@@smokinchuck yeah I've got that one time for a position in Palm desert. That's one of the local cities by me. When I called the number after accepting the number says on a automatic voicemail. Don't try to call or email they will contact me with a scheduled appointment. It also said to check my SPAM and my junk which I've done. Then after 5-days past I didn't get the position because of me not scheduling a fingerprinting appointment. So I applied at another location and it's doing the same thing. Both times I emailed the person back who sent me the email. I received emails from two different people and both times I haven't heard anything back.
@@weknowhisvoice9296 oh wow 🙄🤦♂️ sorry to hear that. Maybe try go to the facility that you’re applying for and ask for the supervisor and explain what’s going on. I would think they should be able to contact the recruiting team. That’s about the last thing I can think of that I would try to do in your situation 🤷♂️
After completing fingerprint, how long does it takes to receive email for "National Agency Check with Inquires (NACI), SF85. for background check. Thank you
Mine took 3 weeks. Others had to wait 2 months and others only 1 week. It just varies 🤷♂️. Just have to wait and be patient lol. It sucks, I know! I was checking my email everyday waiting to hear back lol 😂.
No! They didn’t call anyone I listed. But from seeing comments around and other people that have applied, it’s been hit and miss or random on if they call someone or not. Or also if they call 1 person or all of them 🤷♂️ Thanks for watching! 😉👍🏻
Hey so I applied here in California and I just wanted to know what does the pre processing email mean? Is it the drug test? Is it an interview? I just wanna know what to be prepared for when I got there
I applied on 06/06/24 for cca. After May 3-5 days I was on the pre hire list. On 07/16/24 I received the email for gis. Now still waiting is this normal?
Ya they never called any of my references either, but others have commented on other videos that they have called some. I guess it’s hit and miss. Wow 1 week later, that was fast! Congrats on the job 😉👊🏻 and thank you for watching 😉👍🏻
Not the fingerprints you have to wait for, it’s your NACI criminal background check. You’ll be notified via email once it clears. Thank you for watching 😁👍🏻
Hello, thanks for the video. Is the assessment test the only test you have to take as a CCA? Is this test administered online or you have to go to a central location to take the tests in person?
Yes! The 474 assessment test is the only test for the CCA and it’s done online. You would receive an email with the test link like I showed in my video.
@@laffytaffy1879 like I covered, the 1st 8 questions are like what if questions, then the next 56 questions are personality questions about yourself. Then last 8-10 questions are about your last and current job. I took a look at the questions for the 1st 8 and got lucky, personality questions are pretty easy to figure out knowing what an employer wants in a good worker👍🏻
Hello, Mr.Charles. I've applied and passed the assessment for the PSE Sales and Distribution position on the 10th of April of this year. I've completed my fingerprint screening on the 5th of May. My candidate profile shows that I'm currently on the "pre-hire" list. Would you happen to know when exactly I may receive an email in regards to the next step?
Well congrats on the job offer 😁👍🏻So you got your fingerprints done and with that is also your NACI Criminal Background check and I’m assuming that is what you’re waiting on. You should receive an email notification that it’s completed/cleared next. Thanks for watching 😉👊🏻👍🏻
@@smokinchuck yes sir, thank you I appreciate it. But, I've never been offered the job, I'm still in the "pre-hire" phase, I haven't had an interview or anything of the nature.
@@homage9346 So why did you do a fingerprints then? Because you usually don’t do fingerprints until you receive the job offer email which then instructs who to contact to do fingerprints and the link for the NACI background check. This was how it was done when going for this CCA position and for my current position as a PSE Sales/Service Distribution also. Pre-Hire list means you’re a candidate that could be chosen for the job position.
@@smokinchuck I went through with the fingerprint screening because there was a pamphlet mailed physically to my address pertaining information about a hiring event in my hometown. Since I passed the assessment, I was under the impression that this was the next logical step in the process.
Im having trouble with the 5 years of background check work. I put the dates in but somewhere is a problem. 5 years from today is 11/20/2016 right? I have from such a date - to today.
Same here, the HR person at local branch just called me yesterday afternoon letting me know my background check cleared. Just waiting for my orientation date/email also 😁👍🏻 Once I hear something I will do another small video too. She has told me things had changed on how they will do orientation with seasonal stuff coming up quick.
Congrats Charles! I went last Wednesday for fingerprints and hiring managers meeting... hope I hear about orientation soon 🙏 my family and I are struggling since I was laid off
Hi, thanks for the video and wanted to know how long you have to wait for them to get back to you?because I just finished the assessment on 31 of January 22 and my score was 85 but didn’t get any email or feedback from them.thanks
good morning ☀️ I have a question 1 of my jobs I applied for say offer pxt I think. But I haven’t gotten my offer letter yet been a few days. But I just finsh my sent in my driver dmv background, is that the reason you think I haven gotten the offer letter yet they waiting on the dmv background?
I have a question I notice that rural carrier is you deliver mail from your own vehicle? Is that for all post offices that’s what I’m about to get the. Pxt offer for if so I don’t want to do that at all…..
@@anthonyhudson431 that’s correct! Rural route carriers use their own vehicles. Though I have heard from some people that if some offices have extra vehicles, then they have used the USPS LLV’s. More than likely though you would be using your own car.
What do ",OFFER PHASE EXT", mean. i applied for a job on Oct 24 2021. I accept the offer, did the background and waiting on results, but i never did the fingerprint session yet because the postal personnel never pick up the phone and didnt answer any emails, so i didnt do my fingerprint in that 5 day period because i couldn't reach the personnel. Anyway, what do "OFFER PHASE (EXT)" mean . Thank you
I’m assuming you have the job? I working now and mine still says that also. Any way to got to that facility and talk with the postmaster? That would be my next thing to try. Hopefully you get answers and a update.
@@smokinchuck not working yet ,been waiting since November 1 , after completing background check and couldnt schedule fingerprint because the lady dont pick up the phone and voice mail full. I email also. Some you tubers said about 2 to 4 months. I guess ill just be patient. Thanks for the feed back
@@mikec8480 I wonder if some facilities are waiting after Christmas? Sorry to hear about the waiting. I know it sucks, especially for the background checks. I was checking every day lol🤦♂️ fingers crossed for ya 🤞
@@smokinchuck I keep coming back to your video to follow the process timeline. I just got my fingerprint email. How long did you wait until your fingerprint cleared? Will I be notified? Is the orientation email the next step? Thank you in advance!
@@myson04 well it not the fingerprints, it’s the criminal background check that will take time. They told me 6-8 weeks to complete, but I heard back after 3 weeks. Then after 3-4 days I got my hire date/ orientation email.
Hello Charles, Will I have to live in the United States to pass a background check.I am a dv lottery winner and applied for usps mail handler assistant . So , It’s just been a month I came here ,will I be disqualified.
Thank you watching 😉👍🏻 This I couldn’t tell you. But I know in the profile you make to apply, it asks about your citizenship and/or if you’re legally able to work in the USA.
hi charles, i accepted the job offer yesterday. i got email today from HR clerk , i need to call my postmaster and schedule pre-employment onboarding session. i dont know waht that means ?
I was told the NACI background check can take up to 6-8 weeks. Mine only took 3 weeks and others have said 1 week, 2weeks, 2 months. It’s will just vary! 🤷♂️🤦♂️ It suck’s waiting as others have said. Just be patient and you’ll be notified on when your background check has cleared. Once that is done, usually within 3-4 days you should know your hire & Orientation date 😁👍🏻 Thank you for watching 😉👍🏻 and congrats on the job offer!
Im so confused most peoples videos on the hiring process says that you will get a email about your driving license etc i got that but the next thing they say you will receive is a job offer i never got the job offer the next thing i was sent was a consumer report my background info and never heard anything else? Should i be concerned
Fingerprints and criminal background check comes after you have been offered the position and accepted it. Driving record background check is one step before job offer in my case. My driving record came back clean and then I was offered the CCA position and accepted it. Next emails were the link to accept the job offer and another with the NACI link for criminal background check and who to contact to set up your fingerprint appointment 😉👍🏻
Which background? GIS Motor Vehicle Background or the NACI Criminal Background? GIS took about 3-3 1/2 weeks to clear, when that cleared. I then got my job offer for CCA. Once I accepted that, then I had to do fingerprints and NACI Criminal Background check.
@@ernestobk2784 Well it’s sounds like you’re waiting on your NACI Criminal Background. I was told they can take up to 6-8 weeks. Mine was done in 3 weeks. No way to check on the status. It’s just a waiting game to receive your email about when it clears. I know it sucks and wish there was a way to check lol.
@@ernestobk2784 you should have received an email along with the one about the NACI background check. It would have told you to email giving you the email contact information, to schedule your fingerprint appointment.
Criminal Background check can take up 6-8 weeks. Sorry to say, it’s a waiting game for your background check to clear. Once that is done, you should receive your hire date/orientation email 👍🏻😁
My usps application status changed to " hiring list " from "offer phase Ext" ? what is that means ? i already completed my GIS on may 18, 2022. i still cant get my job offer ? does it takes time after completing GSI ? Thank you
That means you should have been offered the job 😉👍🏻👊🏻 Did you receive an email with the offer and a link to click on to either accept or decline the job offer?
@@anupmehta6179 You should receive an email with the accept decline link for the job offer and another email for the NACI link for the criminal background check also. But ya “offer phase Ext” means the job has been offered to you.
@@anupmehta6179 Oohhh okay. When you said completed before I thought you meant as it came back clear. Okay so if you just filled it out, mine took about 3ish weeks to clear when I got my job offer, but that was also during the holiday time. So yours may or may not take as long? I don’t know?🤷♂️ But just wait and be patient, when your vehicle background check is cleared, you should then receive the offer email. At least that’s what happened to me. Sorry for the misunderstanding! 🤦♂️ So basically the job offer is pending according to your vehicle background check clearing.
Well for me after taking the assessment test, I got the Motor Vehicle background check email right after. The criminal background check email comes after you get and accepted the job offer email. 😉👍🏻 Thank you watching 😁👍🏻
@@smokinchuck Ahhh, I've applied for two positions and passed the 474 with a 100% and waiting for a email. My process step says "Application Entry" It's been about 2-3 days but I also applied going into a weekend so maybe something will come my way this week. Just curious on the early stages and when I should expect emails. Gotta trust the process.
@@101BrownMonkey Ya, you definitely wont hear anything until the closing of that job listing. Job listing usually lasts for a week(7days) and if you’re chosen to move onto the next process phase, it usually isn’t until 2-3 days after the closing of that job listing. For example, if the job listing closes today 6-26-22, if chosen to move on, you would see an email say… until the 29-30th. This has been my experience for the CCA position and the PSE position 👍🏻 Btw! Nice score for the assessment test. I got a 100% also and 99% on my PSE assessment test. 😁😉👍🏻👊🏻
i resign from cca position bcz i dont feel comfortable driving Ilv and also postmaster 1 ton truck. so i applied for MHA position yesterday. should i still have go through fingerprint, background check and orination process.
Sorry to hear that and fingers crossed 🤞 for your new application for MHA. No! You shouldn’t have to since your within 90 days of your last day of employment. When I applied for the PSE position that I’m in now. When the recruiter called me to verify that I wanted the PSE position, I asked her the same question and she also said no, because I was still within 90 days of my last day of employment. So this time around, the process steps and hearing something should be faster. If you get the job offer for MHA, they may have you go through orientation again. I had to go through it again also for the PSE position. But hey 🤷♂️, you’ll get paid for it again lol 😂 easy money!
@@anupmehta6179 🤔 It was about a week after the job posting period ended. That’s when I received my job offer emails. So in my case the posting period was 3-19-22 to 3-23-22. I got my job offer emails on 3-31-22.
Hey Charles, how long after your background check cleared did they send you an orientation email? Mine cleared on 11/11/21 and I’m still waiting on an email, status still says in process offer phase. Thanks
I applied 9/13 got mvr check request 9/14 filled it out the 9/15 and on 9/17 Sunday night it changed to offer phase (ext) now today 9/20 it went back to pre hire list why is that? Or does it always go back to pre hire list after they got background back for driving record. It’s clean btw
Could have been a glitch, usually once you get the job offer email and except it, that status will then change to offer phase (ext) 👍🏻 Thank you for watching 😁
Did you release your profile and then apply for the CCA job? You should have gotten the assessment test invite email after doing that. If so, did you apply in within the Job Posting Period? I almost missed out on mine. Because I thought I had applied when indeed I hadn’t. I hadn’t received anything until I released my profile and then applied for the CCA job listing. Then I had a few emails, my profile verification, the another for applying for the CCA, then the one for taking the 474 assessment test required for the CCA job. I hope this helps?
All sounds so positive for everyone. I take it if you get any score below 90, you pretty much have no chance? Can anyone advise? It's been weeks since I was placed on the Pre-Hire list with nothing more than a Motor Vehicle Records Search, which I submitted minutes after it was requested 9 days ago. I take it even though my current online status says Pre-Hire list, I'm not really being considered for the positions?
Thanks Charles I did my fingerprinting today they told me just wait for my orientation day. Did remember when are you going for your drug testing? Thanks again
Hey Charles, thanks for all the great information. My application process says "hiring list" do you know what that means? I have been in the stage for about 3 weeks, I have already done the motor vehicle background check. Thank you for any information you have.
How long did it take to get the motor vehicle background check, I've been waiting almost two weeks, I'm starting to think it's not good, but I've never had any kind of driving issue.
@@Stargazer_Marilu Mine took 3 1/2 weeks without any driving issues either 🤷♂️. Just be patient lol I was thinking the same thing and checking my email everyday hoping to hear something.
I don't received my email for (NACI) background check yet. just completed my fingerprint today at usps facility. Do you think i will receive email for background check where i fill up my 5 years of employment , residence , 3 references and my education etc. I know all this my watching your TH-cam vedio. i really appreciated all the information you provided in the vedio.
Surprise you didn’t receive it at the same time. I’d say contact the person that same person you scheduled to do your fingerprints and let them know. Maybe they might be able to look into it.
Thanks for this video. I applied for a CCA and got the email acknowledgement of my application and a few days after I received an email about a Driving Record Check; to which I followed. It's weird to me that I never got the assessment invite but I got the driving record check. =/
@@smokinchuck Edit: It just dawned on me. I applied for a CCA (Holiday Term). Darn. Maybe that is why. I am looking for a career rather than just a holiday gig but I guess it never hurts to get one foot in the door. Perhaps since the holiday help is temporary and they just need help ASAP; they're shortening the process. Idk. I've never taken the test.
Hey I did fast track paperwork for one location. Another location emailed me today to come do one for their facility. If I go fill out the paperwork for this last one will the first one be voided or it’s still either one can take me? I’m just waiting for my fingerprints results
Did you accept your job offer and within the time period they give you which is 3 days? If so, then did you fill out your background check information within the allotted time? If so, I would call your local contact that did your finger prints. See what they have to say.
@@MyTigre60 oh okay, so it sounds like their system had a glitch. Waiting for your driving record background check, I was in the Pre-Hire listing also. My driving record background check took about 3-3 1/3 weeks to clear. That’s when I got my job offer emails.
Hey Charles I’m new to your channel, I got a question, I recently applied to be a city carrier assistant (only job available right now at usps) they finally contacted me to consent to background check, do you think they disqualified candidates for speeding tickets? I got one speeding ticket 3 years ago 😢😢☹️ but Thsts the only thing on my record, will they disqualify me or still give me a chance ? Thank you
Is this in reference to the GIS motor vehicle background check or the NACI criminal background check? Idk for sure, but I don’t or wouldn’t think 1 speeding ticket would disqualify you 🤨🤔, but don’t hold that to me as I don’t know for sure. I’m thinking if you had like a DUI or reckless endangerment on your driving record, that would be an issue whereas your typical speeding ticket wouldn’t be an disqualify event. 🤷♂️! Hope this helps and thank you for watching 😉👍🏻
what? i did my fingerprint but no interview? Does that mean i will do one eventually? Ive been waiting for almost 2 months...Is that a good thing or a bad thing??
@@92IsaacYun oh okay, so you’re waiting on your criminal background check to come back? I was told they can take 6-8 weeks to clear. Though mine came back in 3 weeks. Other people that have commented on other videos are waiting also. I’d say to be patient. I know how you feel, I was checking my email everyday praying lol 😉👍🏻
This morning they sent me a email for my orientation and just now they sent me another email saying headquarters has been unable to process me completely does this mean I won’t get the job??
I’d call your local contact/HR person listed on your fingerprint paperwork/email. They should be able to look up and see what’s going on with your file? Also log into your profile and look at your application process and see if that has changed? This is the 1st 2 things I would do if I were in your situation.
finally I got call from my HR for start date. I got orientation date in July 9th. is that means I am hired ? I am little confuse they called my employee asking about my position , date and end date. I am not sure my background is cleared yet. Thank you
Yes! This means you got hired. They won’t have you going to orientation that you’ll be paid for if you weren’t officially hired on. Congrats 😉👍🏻 And yes this means your background check has cleared, this has to clear before you get hired and start working. The calling of your employer was probably the NACI background agency.
I have a question if anyone can answer. I want to apply for a California Post Office job that doesn't require driving. Like mail processing clerk or mail handle assistant. I have a Nevada Driver license though. Do I need a California ID or Driver License to apply for a California job? I do live in California just haven't switched my Driver License to California.
Sorry for missing your question, I wouldn’t think so, but not for sure? 🤨🤔🤷♂️ I would go to your local Post Office(Main Branch) and ask to speak to the supervisor/manger and ask them them for a more of a solid answer 😉👍🏻

I just submitted my Driving background
@@lumpylumpy3931 just got email today the GIS right ?
Thanks for the heads up. I got my fingerprints last week and I've been checking my email like crazy 😂 I guess chill out for bit.
I just wanted to thank you for going into such depth!! At the beginning of the video you appologize for the lengthy time, no need to be sorry!! GREAT JOB!!!
Thanks and thank you for watching 😉👍🏻
Thank you for this info. I am in Kansas. I applied for a carrier job and about a week later I got the conditional job offer. I too did not have an in-person interview, just an email stating that because of my resume and assessment test, that they are offering me a job for a rural carrier. I was excited! I am so glad you mentioned SSN card because I was not told to bring that. I go in first thing in the morning for my fingerprints. Ready to get started.
Congrats on the job offer 😉👍🏻 and thank you for watching! Ya Luckly I live only a few min away, I came home and grabbed it real quick lol 🤦♂️😂
@@smokinchuck I have a question. I’m 50 and have not much in retirement. Is it worth me taking this job and having to wait for the opportunity to move in as a regular not knowing how long it will take?
@@thehedgerow Well you would only have to wait a max of 2 yrs to become regular/career carrier as per the union NALC contract. All depends on your facility capacity of carriers they have. If people quit, retire, and/or transfer and etc… You might get career faster than 2 yrs.🤷♂️
Ok thank you!
🚶♂️.......Just walking by. . . .
Very detailed.
Thank you😁👍🏻 more to come as soon as I start orientation. Plus start doing videos for the Keto diet and watch this weight drop off from all the walking/exercise I’ll be doing. Love your videos BTW 😁👍🏻
He is right, I did the same process in the last 2 weeks. Waiting for my start date
I figured out why I got confused on the fingerprinting stuff! Thanks so much for this video. It helped me realize I was supposed to email someone about scheduling a time to have it done. I didn’t realize that’s how it worked. But I reread my stuff after seeing your emails and saw where I had messed up. It says to do it within 5 days. I’m a day or two passed that but I just sent my email off. Let’s hope I didn’t mess this up lol
Glad you got it figured out and happy to help. Fingers cross it’s not to late! 🤞
Appreciate the video! The NACI portion is so odd to me lol. I've seen people say they never reach out to their references while others say they do. What exactly are they calling them for? Character questions? 4 people who are not family members for the first 2 seems excessive lol. I get the past boss/supervisor reference.
Yep exactly, character to who you are and can be trusted, responsible and etc… 🤷♂️ Ya them calling people tends to be hit and miss lol 😂 Thanks for watching 😁👍🏻
did they call any of yours?@@smokinchuck
You’re the Man. Thanks so very much for your videos.
You’re very welcome and glad you found them helpful 😉👍🏻Thank you for watching!
Applied for CCA on 5/27, got my fingerprints done on 6/6, and today on 6/12 my background check cleared and I start 6/22. I had been stressing a bit because everywhere I check I was told to expect MONTHS for my background check to clear. I'm so relieved.
Congrats on the job. Ya things are more streamlined now and it’s not holiday season. Glad everything went smooth and fast for you 👍🏻😁. I made this video back in fall of 2021.
I applied for the PSE Clerk position in early September 2021. I just received the email for fingerprints and interview and today is November 30, 2021. I go in the morning...so yeah it's a loooooooong process.

great video, thanks man .. good luck everyone
very helpful video, appreciate it bro! I did my W4 and emergency contact but didnt receive my NACI SF85 I checked on my computer, but nothing. But I did receive the fingerprint schedule and the days that I can go get it done.
Ya, my wife just got on and hers took a few days to receive her NACI link for the criminal background check. I’d say, if you didn’t receive it when you go and get your fingerprints done. Let them know you haven’t received anything. They should be able contact/email recruiting. At least that’s what I would do 🤷♂️. Thank you for watching and glad it helped you. 😉👍🏻
very good video bro im in the same track as u,,,im doing my prints tomorrow so lets see how it goes and also the mailman told me we no longer need an interview here in california either,,im also waititng on my background to clear ,,,,well see how it goes,,,

I applied roughly the end of July or early august and went through the same steps and yesterday I received a email from the usps HR with a effective date of Nov 13 that says I'll receive another email by the Thursday before the 13 on where to report to and what time for orientation if this helps anyone with their timeline... now just watching the inbox
Awesome news Brent and congrats 👍🏻 Ya that’s what I’m doing is watching my inbox 🤔wondering when that day comes that my background check clears and get my orientation email.
This is very informative. I’m waiting on my fingerprints email. I emailed the person on my letter and hasn’t heard back it’s been three days.
Thank you and glad you liked it. I called in the same day for mine. Call in and ask for the person that’s on the email.
Hey Charles, first of all, thank you for sharing!! I wanted to see if you can give a little more detail on your experience and hire date. I am scheduled for fingerprinting tomorrow but I have already completed the SF-85 (Background check form) a few days back when I accepted the job offer. I read that your background check only took 3 weeks, but when did you know and how were you informed? To be more detailed on schedule, when did your orientation start, when was your 1st paycheck, etc...?
I was a Federal Officer with Secret Clearance for 10 years so I know my background should be about as clear as it gets. I also have minimal changes in address, or anything different over the past 5 yrs. Just trying to calculate an estimated start date to schedule my personal things without chancing a hire date dilemma.
In addition, how do you like the job now that you've been doing it for a few months? I've seen some other videos that people complain about quite a bit, just wanted your thoughts.
I was informed by who would be my future supervisor. She called me to let me know that my background check cleared before I got my email notification of it being cleared from NACI. Please see my playlist of USPS videos. I put out more videos of my experiences and go over emails received and my training schedule orientation and hire date and etc. 😁👍🏻 Next video to watch will be called USPS Update on Orientation/start date. Then other videos covering day 2 of training(defensive driving), LLV training, shadow day, going over CCA Academy. Then videos covering all 3 days of CCA Academy and on from there. Thank you for watching and congrats on your job offer 😉😁👍🏻
@@smokinchuck Gotcha, I saw you had more videos to watch since my comment.

Great video. I accepted the offer on Dec 23rd. Sent NACI and driving info. Can't wait for the call.
Hi! I did my fingerprint on Dec 21. Done with almost everything and waiting for the result of NACI. Have you received any further instructions yet?
@@yummybear8186 Congratulations. I'm on a waiting list for fingerprints. NACI took 7 days. DMV record took 3 days.

Wow yours are fast, my DMV took 3 1/2 weeks and NACI took 3 weeks.
Thank you for your video, I just landed a position as a CCA and I go for orientation next week it's 3 days and the 4th day is the mail truck driving test I don't know what happens after this but I hope everything turns out well, thank you again
Congrats on your CCA position 😁👍🏻 Glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for watching 😁👍🏻
Thank you! That was very detailed.
You’re very welcome and thank you for watching.👍🏻
Thanks for sharing! I just got my fingerprints done today. The original location that I applied for is further than a job that just came up closer to me. I submitted an application for the closer location. Hopefully I can slide right into the closer location after I get all the background business taken care of. I'm kind of worried because I've been arrested five times in the span of 3-5 years about 10 years ago. No felonies, just being young and stupid =/ I am ex-military and I think that's what got me to where I am now because I only scored a 85 on the test. Im Applying for CCA... 🤞
Congrats on your job offer and fingers crossed 🤞 for you on hoping you get the job 👍🏻 Glad you enjoyed the video.
i wouldn"t even think off working for the post office i do everthing by email pay bills and have the pharmacy dalivery they are so far behand the times the mail is slowing down prices are going up
Very informative! Thank you!!
Thank you for watching and happy to hear it helped you 😁👍🏻
Thank you so much for your videos. Very informative. How long did you wait after you did your fingerprints to receive an orientation date? I didn't receive a file jacket. They told me there are no more interviews, and as of right now, no drug tests.
They told me it could take 6-8 weeks for your criminal background check to clear. But I heard back in 3 weeks. Ya I wasn’t asked to take a drug test.
@@smokinchuck I called the GIS NACI today to find out the status, and they told me that they sent it to the USPS on December 4th. So, now I'm waiting for the fingerprints. Did you say it took the fingerprints three weeks? Or the NACI?
@@elliemzehem5376 NACI took 3 weeks👍🏻
@@smokinchuck that's how long mine took too. Actually it took exactly 17 days. How about your fingerprints? How long would you say that took?

@@smokinchuck me too but I know it’ll be worth it once I get started
I just accepted my offer. Had the GSI driver check and get prints done Monday. Need to do the NACI background tonight. One thing I’m confused about is that it asks for the business address of previous employers. But it also asks for the supervisor physical address? My previous supervisors have since moved on from those companies. Do you enter the actual address for the supervisor?
I was in the same deal also. I just still put the business address in there. Because if they call? They’ll need to speak to the HR person to confirm job history. 🤷♂️ Hope this helps! BTW Congrats on the job offer 😉👍🏻
@@smokinchuck wow fast reply. My issue is that the company we both worked for shut down their Los Angeles facility - where I am located. So neither of us are there. And they are notorious for not answering their phone line. They pass the buck of dealing with calls to supervisors which I was one of. Funny thing is...they are a huge company. And they are a legitimate company. Just...awful with particular things. While they do have other facilities in the USA and elsewhere, they may not answer the phone calls in HR. Thanks for the help!
thank you this was very helpful!
Thank you for watching 😁👍🏻 Glad it was helpful.
Great video! How long did I take for you to hear back after your fingerprints?
Thank you! Tell you the truth IDK?🤷♂️ I just got a call from the supervisor that background check had cleared and when to come in. Nothing was mentioned about fingerprints 🤷♂️ lol.
I’ve failed the assessment 3x. I worked with the PO for 5yrs as a carrier. Moved for my husbands new job, so I had to quit. But the testing changed and I can’t seem to pass it and I have to wait another year. Idk what I am doing wrong.
Search on TH-cam and you’ll find some videos. I was confused at first trying the practice tests. Then watched a couple of videos and understood how they are supposed to be answered. Lol 🤦♂️🙄
i called and schedule for pre-employment session on this coming Friday. My postmaster told me he will schedule my fingerprint on the day i come for session.
Pre employment session? Huh?🤔 must be something new lol😂 or renamed. Never heard of that! Again congrats 😉👊🏻 on you job.
I applied for a CCA position on 2/15/23 and started orientation 3/20/23. My PO's PM was SHOCKED that my app/offer/prints/background check was done so fast. She fully expected it would take me 3-4 months from application to 1st day of orientation.
Wow that is fast lol 😂. Usually it’s a 2 month process from application to orientation. Congrats on the CCA position 😉👍🏻
Quick question....did you need a copy (certified) of your high school diploma? Or just the school, location, and start and finish dates?
No need for the diploma, they just want the name and start and graduation dates 😊👍🏻 again, thanks for watching 🙏👍🏻
No, thank you!
Hi I received a offer by phone call to say my background check was complete and offering the position! However when I contact GIS background my background is still processing. Which is confusing! Anyone experienced this?
NACI background check is your criminal background check. GIS is your vehicle/driving background check 😉👍🏻
Waiting for orientation since September 2021 😢
Damn! Sorry to hear that☹️
Have you done your fingerprints and NACI background check?
Did you have to do a drug test? Also, what are the days off? I’ve seen a video of a CCA saying they worked 38 days straight. Is this normal?
No on the drug testing! Days off depends on the need for carriers and the mail flow. I had different day/s off each week. No, they cannot work you that many days straight. According to the NALC union contract. They can only work you 8 days straight, then they have to at least give you a day off. Either that guy is lying or he volunteered to work that many days straight!
@@smokinchuck thank you so much for your quick response! I appreciate it! I’m really thinking of job hopping and trying out being a CCA! I think I would enjoy it.
@@breannepiper you’re very welcome and thank you for watching 😉👍🏻. Ya if you don’t mind physical work. There’s more to it than walking or driving around the neighborhoods delivering mail and packages. Just remember, you’re going to be starting at the bottom. You’re going to get some of the sucky routes to work. But you’ll get a little of some nice ones too. But you gotta take the good with the bad 😉👍🏻. Just make it past your 90 day probationary period. You’ll be working a lot of hours too, but very nice paychecks 😁👊🏻lol
The only number I have from my previous employer is a 1 800 HR number to verify I worked there. And I was let go. Do you think that will be a problem?
Ya if the 800 number is all you have, then use that. I had to use a 800 number for one of my job references because headquarters was located in another state. Thanks for watching 😉👍🏻
If you have a misdemeanor on your background would you be considered if it was 5yrs ago.
Does speeding tickets matter and the points on your license? For the dmv portion
Thx for sharing this information
You’re very welcome and thank you for watching 😉👍🏻
So my background was done Dec 22nd and I’m still on offer EXT. GIS said they had to complete and send my background to usps but couldn’t verify education or employment probably because of Covid. So with that being said, will that disqualify me? I also had something dismissed in 2016 that she said isn’t an issue for hiring because it was dismissed. Thank you! Still waiting on orientation and I’ve received the job offer already.
Congrats on the job offer 😉😁👍🏻GIS background was for your vehicle background check. What about your NACI Criminal Background check? Has that cleared yet?
Thanks for the very informative vid. Would you happen to know if a previous suspended drivers license (currently reinstated) would disqualify me? It was suspended this year and last.
Thank you and glad you liked it. I couldn’t tell you if it would or not. Like anything else applying with the government, I would just be honest with your information and answers 👍🏻
Where do they generally send you to do fingerprints? I emailed about scheduling for mine but I'm confused where they send you
If/when you get a job offer and accept it, you’ll receive another email with instructions on who and how to contact about scheduling an appointment for doing your fingerprints and doing your Background Check. Thank you watching 😉👍🏻
May I ask questions, please? I applied for the CCA on June 12th and I was fingerprinted, assessment test, and passed. I am waiting for the release of my driver's license and the background check form was sent right along with the driver's license. So, what else is left to do other than the drug test? Thank you.
Thanks for watching 😉👍🏻 it’s just a waiting game now. Drivers license background can take a few weeks to clear, then your criminal background check can take 6-8 weeks,though usually only a couple of weeks on average from what others have commented on. Mine took 3.5 weeks to clear. Just be patient, it’s a waiting game. Did they tell you about needing to do a drug test? Because they haven’t been doing them/not needed. Once everything clears, you’ll hear from someone and receive an email with your start date and when & where your orientation is. Hope this answers your questions and helps.
@@smokinchuck thank you for the information. I hope I get to join the USPS.
Thank you for the very informative video. I just finished the DMV record portion. Is this the same as the background check?
Thank you watching and glad you liked and found it helpful. To answer your question, no! There’s the DMV background check and then if you get the job offer and accept it, then you do the criminal background check.
@@smokinchuck thank you for the clarification.
Thank you for sharing your experiences! May I ask how long does it take for fingerprint to your orientation day, please? I made the appointment to do my fingerprint this coming Monday. I'm wondering if I can get to know when I can get started to work...Thank you anyway!
It will depend on how long your background check takes to clear. Once that clears, they will notify you via email on your hire date and orientation date. Thank you for watching 😁😉👍🏻

I am in Offer phase for more than 60 days… background check completed.. in ready to hire status.. Do you know what might happened?
I just got GIS background on pre hire yesterday. I have a question does offer or denied before you accept. Does they told you to drive llv or personal vehicle before you click? I’m worried if I click personal vehicle which I do not interest I will deny. I hope it tell me which vehicle I will drive.
CCA will drive an LLV, only RCA(Rural Route Carrier )will have to use their own vehicle for deliveries. Thanks for watching 😉👍🏻
When did u quit your current job during this process?
I applied for a TTO position last month. I received a phone interview. The lady says I passed and she would push my application through. She did tell me the post office is slow in hiring, so it may be a while. I think it's been almost 1 month since the phone interview and nothing yet. I am an Army veteran I heard that helps. Do you have an idea of how long I should expect to get the ball rolling. I applied for Palatine Illinois location TTO... thank you

@@LillianLerdo depends on the facility you’re at. If that facility can process badge or not? My supervisor took my photo and sent it to Billings, MT and got my badge a few days later. Whereas my wife did orientation at Billings facility and took her picture and got her badge right then and there that same day. 🤷♂️
New question they said my home office is and gave me the number would the home office be where I’ll be going to work ?
Hello I stumbled across your video it was very informative. I applied as a PSE Mail clerk Aug 30, 22 & received my job offer Sept 5. I submitted by Naci background on the 8th & did my fingerprints on the 19th I’m constantly checking my email for my orientation date I’m so anxious to start lol do you know how long it takes for the background to clear or for me to get an orientation date?
Thank you for watching and glad my video helped. NACI background check can take 6-8 weeks. But, mine only took 3 weeks and my wife recently got on and hers took 4 weeks. Others that have commented in other videos, I have seen 2weeks all the way to 2 1/2 months lol 🤷♂️🤦♂️. I did the same thing you’re doing and checking my email every day lol. All I can say is to be patient, you’ll receive an email or your new supervisor will call you OR even a person from recruiting will contact you, this happened to my wife, which was kinda weird lol 😂 Hopefully this helps, btw, congrats on the job offer 😉👍🏻
Thank you lol my dad works at the distribution center and told me having patience will be worth it congrats to you wife for joining I’m so excited to start my career
I did my fingerprints on 10/07 and after not hearing back for 4 weeks I emailed usps and the said I’m on an automated list. It’s now 11/17 and haven’t received and email yet. Is this normal?
Well if you did your fingerprints, that means you accepted the job offer, next you would have filled out your background check information. Your probably waiting on your background check to clear which can take up to 6-8 weeks to clear.👍🏻 a lot of people are in the same boat, just waiting on their background checks to clear and then get their orientation date email.
@@smokinchuck I figured as much.. I’m on week 6 now hopefully I hear from them soon. Thanks the info! And stay vigilant!
@@Jonathan-wy1bt no problem! 👍🏻 I know how it is checking your email everyday waiting to see something lol😁
Big question man!! On the finger prints I called and email the hr or supervisor from my branch and she told me I have to wait for usps to email me on a email explaining the different locations where I could go get my finger prints and also the dates. Does it sound about right ? I already completed all the other steps on the assessments and background info all I’m waiting is for inductions on where to go get my finger prints
The fingerprint information you’ll get when you receive a job offer email from ecareerworkflow@usps.gov. If you receive that email and accept the job offer, then you’ll receive the fingerprint and NACI background check information and how to complete those steps. 😉👍🏻 In that email, it will provide contact information of who to contact to schedule your fingerprint appointment. Plus the link for the NACI Criminal Background Check. Just need to be patient with the application process. There’s a lot of hurry up and wait. My wife recently got on and I told her the application/hiring process can take 2+ months and hers took 2 months from start to finish and starting orientation. Hope this helps 😉👍🏻 and thanks for watching!
@@smokinchuck Hey i got the fingerprinting this week, is there any drug test associated with this position ? also when do they normally give it if they do?
@@marlwoods23 nope on the drug testing! 😉👍🏻
@@smokinchuck Thanks
@@marlwoods23 No problem! Thanks for watching 😉👍🏻There’s more videos to watch after this one. Orientation and shadow day experience. CCA Academy days and OJI day 1,2, and 3.
Do you have any advice on this, my problem is that I'm accepting job offers with the post office. But when it comes to the scheduling for the fingerprinting I'm not receiving that email. The number that they provide is a automatic service. I'm trying to call people about this issue because I have missed out on employment because the time has passed for me to schedule fingerprinting.
When you got your job offer email, is there an attachment pdf file to open at the bottom of the email? That would have your instructions with a phone number or people of contact to get/schedule your finger prints done.
1. Is receiving an email from ecareerworkflow@usps.gov.
2. Is your person of contact via phone or email to schedule your fingerprint appointment.
3. Is the link to the NACI background check.
@@smokinchuck yeah the attachment has a phone number but the number. Is a automatic service that tells me they will email me but they never have.
@@weknowhisvoice9296 I’m assuming you got your accept or decline email, where you click on your link to accept or decline the job offer and you accepted the job?
Also, your USPS conditional job offer email. Does it show a persons name like example DOE.E.JANE@usps.gov who sent it to you? You could try and reply to that email and see if that person replies back with instructions or reasoning of what’s going on? 🤷♂️
@@smokinchuck yeah I've got that one time for a position in Palm desert. That's one of the local cities by me. When I called the number after accepting the number says on a automatic voicemail. Don't try to call or email they will contact me with a scheduled appointment. It also said to check my SPAM and my junk which I've done. Then after 5-days past I didn't get the position because of me not scheduling a fingerprinting appointment. So I applied at another location and it's doing the same thing. Both times I emailed the person back who sent me the email. I received emails from two different people and both times I haven't heard anything back.
@@weknowhisvoice9296 oh wow 🙄🤦♂️ sorry to hear that. Maybe try go to the facility that you’re applying for and ask for the supervisor and explain what’s going on. I would think they should be able to contact the recruiting team. That’s about the last thing I can think of that I would try to do in your situation 🤷♂️
After completing fingerprint, how long does it takes to receive email for "National Agency Check with Inquires (NACI), SF85. for background check. Thank you
Mine took 3 weeks. Others had to wait 2 months and others only 1 week. It just varies 🤷♂️. Just have to wait and be patient lol. It sucks, I know! I was checking my email everyday waiting to hear back lol 😂.
Did they call your personal or residential references?
No! They didn’t call anyone I listed. But from seeing comments around and other people that have applied, it’s been hit and miss or random on if they call someone or not. Or also if they call 1 person or all of them 🤷♂️ Thanks for watching! 😉👍🏻
Hey so I applied here in California and I just wanted to know what does the pre processing email mean? Is it the drug test? Is it an interview? I just wanna know what to be prepared for when I got there

I filled all that info out...
They never called any of my references
I did my finger prints
Got the job 1 week later

Hello, thanks for the video. Is the assessment test the only test you have to take as a CCA? Is this test administered online or you have to go to a central location to take the tests in person?
Yes! The 474 assessment test is the only test for the CCA and it’s done online. You would receive an email with the test link like I showed in my video.

Hello, Mr.Charles. I've applied and passed the assessment for the PSE Sales and Distribution position on the 10th of April of this year. I've completed my fingerprint screening on the 5th of May. My candidate profile shows that I'm currently on the "pre-hire" list. Would you happen to know when exactly I may receive an email in regards to the next step?
Would you happen to know WHEN I may get an email, in regards to the next step, Mr.Charles?
Well congrats on the job offer 😁👍🏻So you got your fingerprints done and with that is also your NACI Criminal Background check and I’m assuming that is what you’re waiting on. You should receive an email notification that it’s completed/cleared next. Thanks for watching 😉👊🏻👍🏻
@@smokinchuck yes sir, thank you I appreciate it. But, I've never been offered the job, I'm still in the "pre-hire" phase, I haven't had an interview or anything of the nature.
@@homage9346 So why did you do a fingerprints then? Because you usually don’t do fingerprints until you receive the job offer email which then instructs who to contact to do fingerprints and the link for the NACI background check.
This was how it was done when going for this CCA position and for my current position as a PSE Sales/Service Distribution also. Pre-Hire list means you’re a candidate that could be chosen for the job position.
@@smokinchuck I went through with the fingerprint screening because there was a pamphlet mailed physically to my address pertaining information about a hiring event in my hometown. Since I passed the assessment, I was under the impression that this was the next logical step in the process.
Im having trouble with the 5 years of background check work. I put the dates in but somewhere is a problem. 5 years from today is 11/20/2016 right? I have from such a date - to today.
Waiting for orientation... hope I hear from them soon 🙏
Same here, the HR person at local branch just called me yesterday afternoon letting me know my background check cleared. Just waiting for my orientation date/email also 😁👍🏻
Once I hear something I will do another small video too. She has told me things had changed on how they will do orientation with seasonal stuff coming up quick.

Hi, thanks for the video and wanted to know how long you have to wait for them to get back to you?because I just finished the assessment on 31 of January 22 and my score was 85 but didn’t get any email or feedback from them.thanks
Ya I believe this depends on the facility that is hiring. Some people are having to wait and others hear back pretty fast and move through the system.
good morning ☀️ I have a question 1 of my jobs I applied for say offer pxt I think. But I haven’t gotten my offer letter yet been a few days. But I just finsh my sent in my driver dmv background, is that the reason you think I haven gotten the offer letter yet they waiting on the dmv background?
Ya, I didn’t get my job offer until my vehicle background check was completed 👍🏻. Thanks for watching 😉👍🏻
I have a question I notice that rural carrier is you deliver mail from your own vehicle? Is that for all post offices that’s what I’m about to get the. Pxt offer for if so I don’t want to do that at all…..
@@anthonyhudson431 that’s correct! Rural route carriers use their own vehicles. Though I have heard from some people that if some offices have extra vehicles, then they have used the USPS LLV’s. More than likely though you would be using your own car.
What do ",OFFER PHASE EXT", mean. i applied for a job on Oct 24 2021. I accept the offer, did the background and waiting on results, but i never did the fingerprint session yet because the postal personnel never pick up the phone and didnt answer any emails, so i didnt do my fingerprint in that 5 day period because i couldn't reach the personnel. Anyway, what do
"OFFER PHASE (EXT)" mean .
Thank you
I’m assuming you have the job? I working now and mine still says that also. Any way to got to that facility and talk with the postmaster? That would be my next thing to try. Hopefully you get answers and a update.
@@smokinchuck not working yet ,been waiting since November 1 , after completing background check and couldnt schedule fingerprint because the lady dont pick up the phone and voice mail full.

Hello Charles,
Will I have to live in the United States to pass a background check.I am a dv lottery winner and applied for usps mail handler assistant . So , It’s just been a month I came here ,will I be disqualified.
Thank you watching 😉👍🏻 This I couldn’t tell you. But I know in the profile you make to apply, it asks about your citizenship and/or if you’re legally able to work in the USA.
hi charles,
i accepted the job offer yesterday. i got email today from HR clerk , i need to call my postmaster and schedule pre-employment onboarding session. i dont know waht that means ?
Congrats on the job offer! 😁👍🏻
I went in first week of march this year for fingerprinting no call yet. Unaware of how long it will take for a me to get a hiring date..
I was told the NACI background check can take up to 6-8 weeks. Mine only took 3 weeks and others have said 1 week, 2weeks, 2 months. It’s will just vary! 🤷♂️🤦♂️ It suck’s waiting as others have said. Just be patient and you’ll be notified on when your background check has cleared. Once that is done, usually within 3-4 days you should know your hire & Orientation date 😁👍🏻 Thank you for watching 😉👍🏻 and congrats on the job offer!
Good looking out on replying. I’m just a couple days short my 3week mark. Will keep waiting.
@@smokinchuck how many times did you submit your fingerprints ?
Im so confused most peoples videos on the hiring process says that you will get a email about your driving license etc i got that but the next thing they say you will receive is a job offer i never got the job offer the next thing i was sent was a consumer report my background info and never heard anything else? Should i be concerned
Hi, I just finished inputting my info for my driving record. How long until I do the fingerprints?
Fingerprints and criminal background check comes after you have been offered the position and accepted it. Driving record background check is one step before job offer in my case. My driving record came back clean and then I was offered the CCA position and accepted it. Next emails were the link to accept the job offer and another with the NACI link for criminal background check and who to contact to set up your fingerprint appointment 😉👍🏻
@@smokinchuck Thank you so much for clearing that up for me.
@@tonyamarshall7679 You’re very welcome and glad to help 👍🏻

About references 3 lists can’t do family members on it??
I believe you can, I did my wife and my sister
How do you find out if you passed the background? Who do I email or call to get fingerprints done. I haven’t received anything.
Which background? GIS Motor Vehicle Background or the NACI Criminal Background? GIS took about 3-3 1/2 weeks to clear, when that cleared. I then got my job offer for CCA. Once I accepted that, then I had to do fingerprints and NACI Criminal Background check.
Both
Do they tell you when to go for fingerprints?
@@ernestobk2784 Well it’s sounds like you’re waiting on your NACI Criminal Background. I was told they can take up to 6-8 weeks. Mine was done in 3 weeks. No way to check on the status.

I don’t know?🤷♂️ But just wait and be patient, when your vehicle background check is cleared, you should then receive the offer email. At least that’s what happened to me. Sorry for the misunderstanding! 🤦♂️ So basically the job offer is pending according to your vehicle background check clearing.
After completing the assessment how long did it generally take to receive the background check email?

Just curious on the early stages and when I should expect emails. Gotta trust the process.
@@101BrownMonkey Ya, you definitely wont hear anything until the closing of that job listing. Job listing usually lasts for a week(7days) and if you’re chosen to move onto the next process phase, it usually isn’t until 2-3 days after the closing of that job listing. For example, if the job listing closes today 6-26-22, if chosen to move on, you would see an email say… until the 29-30th. This has been my experience for the CCA position and the PSE position 👍🏻 Btw! Nice score for the assessment test. I got a 100% also and 99% on my PSE assessment test. 😁😉👍🏻👊🏻
i resign from cca position bcz i dont feel
comfortable driving Ilv and also postmaster

yesterday. should i still have go through
fingerprint, background check and

Sorry to hear that and fingers crossed 🤞 for your new application for MHA. No! You shouldn’t have to since your within 90 days of your last day of employment. When I applied for the PSE position that I’m in now. When the recruiter called me to verify that I wanted the PSE position, I asked her the same question and she also said no, because I was still within 90 days of my last day of employment. So this time around, the process steps and hearing something should be faster. If you get the job offer for MHA, they may have you go through orientation again.

I have a question if anyone can answer. I want to apply for a California Post Office job that doesn't require driving. Like mail processing clerk or mail handle assistant. I have a Nevada Driver license though. Do I need a California ID or Driver License to apply for a California job? I do live in California just haven't switched my Driver License to California.
Sorry for missing your question, I wouldn’t think so, but not for sure? 🤨🤔🤷♂️ I would go to your local Post Office(Main Branch) and ask to speak to the supervisor/manger and ask them them for a more of a solid answer 😉👍🏻
