On June 13, the Birmingham Main Post Office welcomed a steady stream of interested customers and potential applicants to a job fair, which was conducted in the lobby.
Many of the job fair participants were not themselves in the midst of a job search but were instead gathering information for unemployed friends or family members.
Alabama District Diversity and Inclusiveness Team Member Kathy Martin-Armstead answered questions and handed out vacancy announcements for several hours. Above, she is assisting retired clerk and current APWU official Sara Witherspoon.
The job fair provided the perfect opportunity for applicants who weren't already familiar with postal lingo to seek clarification about the duties of various listings and the requirements for available positions.
Martin-Armstead did a fantastic job of fielding questions, as she is doing above with potential applicant Cynthia Pittman.

For USPS staff and members of the public alike, it was quite a challenge to sort through the long list of open positions.

The best of luck to all attendees and job seekers. So far, there have been over 3,000 applicants for the USPS Alabama positions.
If you were not able to attend any of the job fairs that were held at post offices statewide but are still interested in employment with the Postal Service, don't despair. As of today, there are still jobs open in Alabama posted on www.usps.com/employment.
If you can see the announcements, the positions are still open. Check back regularly.
