Show Postal position exams being offered here Postmaster Howard D. Knight has announced that Clerk-Carrier exams will be given at a date to be announced later; and urged that all those interested apply to take the job-related tests that can lead to Postal Service employment. Salaries, not including fringe benefits, for clerks and letter carriers begin at $6.75 an hour and increase in-crease to $8.04 an hour over an eight-year period. Annually, this represents a $13,604 starting salary for a full-time employee that increases to $16,189 in eight years. "We have not opened our register since Oct. 1976, and an exmination of it has led us to believe that it is out of date, and that many of the names on the register are people who have moved or for some reason are no longer available to take postal jobs," Postmaster Knight said. "I do not want to give the impression we will be hiring great numbers of people in the coming months," the postmaster said. "At the present time we have no vacancies, but in order to keep an adequate register and give interested people in the area the opportunity to qualify for Postal Service employment we are announcing an-nouncing this examina- tion." The postmaster said the Postal Service established the policy two years ago of extending eligibility indefinitely in-definitely for those on the job register because little hiring was being done. "On October 8, 1978 those who have been on the job register for more than two years will lose their eligibility. They will have to reapply to compete for a standing on the new register," he said. Postmaster Knight explained ex-plained that those wishing to take the exam could apply by calling at the Post Office for an application applica-tion blank prior to October 12, 1978. The examination will be administered at the Moab Post Office at a date to be announced later. |
