GREAT OPPORTUNITIES AWAIT YOU

My Mom always told me that if a person could get a job at the post office, they would have a great life career and steady income. The jobs back then seemed few and far between and they were hard to get; but if you were lucky enough to get one, you'd be set for life! Great pay, great benefits, and a solid, steady income.

JOBS AVAILABLE

That's why I'm shocked that there are actually availabilities at our local post office here in St. Cloud. We know that our local post office workers are definitely overworked and understaffed. But; if we had more staff, that just might take care of that problem. Have you ever wanted a career working with the postal office? It's definitely a service to your community, and jobs are available now all over the state of Minnesota.
