Good afternoon. Brief listing of CAREER JOBS pulled from
usps.com/careers/ for your convenience.
Some jobs may be part-time regular however
all listed jobs should qualify for federal benefits from day one. To save text I have only listed the location and date of posting for each. Use the posting number for your search term. LC and MM are entry-level Maintenance.
Here is a testimonial from a recent convert,

No experience necessary for the laborer custodial or maintenance mechanic positions. It helps on the interview but you can surely think of maintenance related experience to relay for an interview. Based on fixing things around your house, the car etc.
Always mention working safely.
Pro tip: You can apply for any job that has an exam opening and the test is administered local to yourself. Make sure you're serious and score decently; you can turn down the job offer. Keep a physical copy of your exam score, I believe they are good for two years.
The reason is: These job postings can be posted externally at capacity for testing, meaning they will not allow you to take the exam if they have enough qualified applicants. However, if you have a test score on the books,
you are a qualified applicant.
Explanation of MVO/TTO to save time:
MVO= CDL B Can only drive box trucks on public roads, can drive anything for moves on postal property.
TTO= CDL A Can drive anything.
USPS provides the training. (Maintenance jobs at least. TTO and management...GOOD LUCK)
You don't have to be crazy to work here. We'll train you. Everything but proper email usage. Both boxes are sealed. Base game is Collector's Edition with dual sided boards and custom storage trays. KS Expansions are: Discovery, Foundations, and Crisis.
Don't have specific games in mind for trade, but would prefer something local.
Thanks for looking.
So just to give a back story F1 married to a USC. It has been 8 months since we send our package to the USCIS I-130, I-131, I-485, I-765 and Medical report all together. Package received on August 1st,2022 Did my biometrics on August 23rd, 2022 Case status changed to actively reviewing. Field office-Brooklyn NY. About a couple of days ago I received a good job offer that aligns really well with my career goals and would be a huge miss If I can’t start because I’m still not authorized to work. We contacted Emma and requested an expedited, a couple of hrs later they send us an email requesting evidence. I send the evidence yesterday (faxed it through staples) including a cover letter on how it would financially help me and my husband. I haven’t received anything from the USCIS yet, I’m a little worried and anxious at the same time. Just wanted to write on reddit and see what everyone’s thoughts are about the EAD expedite experiences they have had! Thank you in advance
So i had a dream that went back to my old neighborhood in Brooklyn NY and went to visit who i thought was a family member. So instead it was a lady i use to go out with back in highschool. She had served me some papers because her son was my son. She had the DNA and the child had my name. Could this be about the truth? It's making me think because 20 years later today i don't have a kid.
Anyone live around brooklyn ny who has a motorcycle they dont use and willing to give away for free. Im trying to practice my riding skills, just passed my tests and got license

Training
During my twenties (M33) I would go for an occasional run during the summer months, but stopped running when I developed some lung problems (allergic asthma) that went away when I stopped exercising outdoors. During the end of last year I moved from Europe to NYC and have picked up running again. At first, it was mainly a way to stay in shape, but I quickly realized my lungs didn't bother me as much anymore. I used to live in an area with particularly bad air pollution (harbor city with a lot of refineries), so moving away from that has probably helped.
I enjoyed running along the Hudson and in the various parks, so I decided to sign up for some races and was lucky enough to be selected in the lottery for the NYC half marathon. This was the first time I was running with a specific event/distance in mind. I would usually just go out for 30 mins and run at my "normal" pace (5:00-5:15min/km). In decided to go all in and ordered an Garmin Forerunner 955 in November 2022 and quickly got hooked on all the stats.
For the training I selected a training plan from coach Gregg McMillan in the Garmin ecosystem and set a goal time for 1:45:00, this would roughly be my normal pace but for 21 kms instead of the 5 I would normally do. I figured that 4-5 months schould be enough to increase my fitness enough to maintain this. In the beginning I really liked this program, it's 4-5 workouts every week and you could easily reschedule workouts to match your lifestyle. I had a long run on Saturday, some base runs and speed/stride workouts during weekdays. During the first weeks of the program I noticed my knees got a bit sore, so I started to include some bodyweight strength workouts and yoga into my routine.
Around 5-6 weeks before the race I think I encountered some sort of glitch in the program, I would no longer get suggested long runs and all my workouts would be 40-60 mins easy pace runs. Since I also have the Garmin race widget, I cancelled on coach Gregg and just blindly trusted Garmin to tell me what to do based on my "training readiness" and "body battery". This changed the training a bit, got more speedwork (according to Garmin I had an anaerobic shortage in my workouts). I really liked the change in workouts and it gave me some extra motivation to stick with the training.
I had originally set my goal to 1:45, but during February I started to notice that my fitness was increasing faster than I had expected. 1:40 seemed to be doable, during your training Garmin will also predict your race time and I could see this time steadily decrease as the weeks went by. According to Garmin (this company is my messiah) I would be able to run a half marathon in 1:35:47, turns out their prediction was pretty good.
Tapering was also done based on the Garmin race widget and started about 10 days before the race, to my surprise I was still running almost every day, but usually only in 30-40 mins sessions. I think for my next race I'll take a bit more rest than what Garmin suggested, my legs didn't feel totally fresh the morning of the race.
Pre-race
A few days before the race NYRR (the organisation) issued a warning to all runners that it would be "unseasonably cold" during the race. Temperatures around freezing and a cold gusty wind. I would be starting in the first wave, so this had me a bit worried. My wife and a friend accompanied me to the start, so I just brought two running outfits so that I could change clothes based on the conditions at the start.
I accidentally set my alarm an hour later (5:45AM) than I should wake up (4:45AM), but luckily, I was woken up by a garbage truck at 4:40 AM! Ate a bagel with peanut butter and banana, had a coffee, successful bathroom break and got dressed. I felt good, so I decided to try to run with the 1:40 pacer instead of the 1:45. If I didn't like the pace after a few miles, I could always fall back. Took a 5:45 AM subway to Brooklyn with a lot of other runners. The start area was well organised, plenty of toilets and they gave out space blankets to stay warm. Decided that it wasn't that cold, so I gave my thermo baselayers to my wife and ran in shorts, long compression socks, a longsleeve and a lightweight vest. Took a gel about 15 mins before the start and made my way to the corrals.
Race
The corrals weren't extremly busy and could easily find the 1:40 pacer. The start itself was a mess. For some reason NYPD and NYFD got their own corral next to the pros, which meant that during the first 2 miles, the most narrow part of the course, you were making your way through a lot of slower runners. This race has some hills, most of which are during the first 6 miles. I don't know if it was because of these hills, but I felt like the pacer was a bit inconsistent with his pacing. For me it wasn't an even effort, and it most definitely wasn't an even pace. At some point during the downhill part to the Manhattan bridge I felt like we were holding back too much and I decided I was going to run my own race.
I had obtained a 1:40 pace bracelet from the expo while picking up my bib, so I figured I could use that to pace myself and keep an eye on my heart rate on my watch. Based on no prior knowledge I assumed that keeping it between 160 and 170 should be fine. The climb up the Manhattan bridge was awesome and a highlight, The sun was shining, wind wasn't too bad and you could see the reflection of all the runners in the windows of the skyscrapers.
Next up was the FDR drive, we had the wind in our backs for some parts of it so that was great! Sun was still shining and hardly any shade, so I wasn't that cold and happy with my choice of outfit. At some point I realised I had already passed the halfway point and I was still feeling good. I ate my gel and was getting increasingly confident I would be able to finish below 1:40. At the UN building you take a left towards times square, the tall buildings block the sun so it was definitely colder here! Running through times square was fun and a unique experience! At this point I started to feel my knee a bit, but nothing I hadn't experienced before so was able to keep running.
Arriving at central park meant I was almost at the finish line. I'd done a lot of my training here, so I knew what to expect (central park is not flat!). But I was still feeling like I had something extra in the tank, so I had decided to pick up the pace a bit for the last 2-3 miles. Before starting the race I had already decided on the point that I would initiate my sprint to the finish, in hindsight this wasn't a great plan. For about 150 meters the sprint felt great, I was passing people, could see the finish line getting closer, but about 50 meters before the finish my legs started to feel wobbly and my vision got blurry, so I decided to quickly ease up on the sprinting and just run like a normal person for the final part. I'm pretty sure if I would have continued that final push I would have ended up face down on my finish line photo.
Post-race
The wobbly legs and blurry vision quickly went away after I stopped running, got a high five from a random volunteer (loved it). Someone put a space blanket around my shoulders, someone else put a piece of tape on the blanket to keep it closed, the next person handed me my medal and a bit later someone gave me a bag with food and drinks. Everything was extremely well organized, but I can imagine it was a bit more chaotic for the later start waves. The portapotty I used after finish was completely clean still!
I met up with my wife and our friend. I'd forgotten to stop my Garmin watch at the finish, so I wasn't completely sure of my time. Based on my calculation during the run I was about 3 mins below 1:40 around mile 8. They told me the NYRR results page said 1:35:27, I definitly wasn't expecting that for my first half marathon race, but now I want to break 1:30! I'm also running the Staten Island half in September, let's see how much I can improve by that time. Afterwards we got a celebratory donut, spent the rest of the morning in the bath watching sports. My knee is still a bit stiff, but I think it'll be fine by the end of the week. For a next race I'll be incorporating a bit more strength work into my routine. The liked the Garmin race widget more than the "Garmin coaches", seems to be more adaptive. For example, a good nights sleep will increase the intensity of your training the next day, hardly any sleep will subsitute a training session with a rest day.
If you ever get the chance to run this course, do it! Amazing scenery and amazing crowds!
