Thanks for the information, is very helpful, I do have my academy training January 19,I hope everything goes well
Thank u for your words -hoping to start my journey soon
Good tips ! Thank you
Great personality and great tips
I'm 7yrs in, I could have told you about the makeup, ...It doesn't work with the Post office while being a CCA, when you turn regular then we can talk makeup, nails etc. As for your feet, you need to purchase Wide feet shoes, and insoles, (really good insoles), Welcome to the Postal Family.
So glad u said that about the ring !
OMG!! This was one of ur best videos very informative... I hate u quit.... But I do wish u good luck with ur new career.. Hope u keep us updated on it... Wish I could get ur notes and pretty tray. 😄
Thanks for being so real and awesome! You're so down to earth and I am not at USPS yet but hoping to leave the world of cubicles and being chained to a desk job. I appreciate your video so much !! These videos are so helpful and I appreciate you so much.
You are so welcome! Thank you for the kind comment. I really appreciate you
@@FranticPandaCreation 🥰⭐️
Thanks, even though this was done 2 years ago, still up-to-date usps training talks!!!
Thank you for sharing your journey very helpful. While waiting to be called for CCA, makes me think I should rent a treadmill.
Take care your very sweet.
Thank you for the video!! ❤️ I have my CCA Academy next week.
Good for u
You are awesome. Keep up the Good Work
I start academy tomorrow! I’m so nervous but excited 😊
You are a Godsend!!Any words on the driving training and exam??Especially the steps for the day .I don’t miss talking to people either,I’m tired of office craps,I love the job for the fact I don’t have to deal with any nonsense from nobody.I love your video
This was very helpful, thank you. You can use an anti chaffe stick in your feet for blisters. Or, wear liner socks so that takes the brunt of the fiction.
Super informative! I would suggest pantyhose the knee high ones then put socks over I haven’t had any blisters. Hope it helps
Love your video very knowledgeable
I am confused on the slings too. From what I understand from shadow day its up one side and down the other until you reach your vehicle
Hi Mandi, Thank you for this! great help to the onboarding process! starting my orientation on Monday and I am excited, Can I get a copy of the index card you made? take a picture by phone? Those codes and things to remember, step by step will be a great help for me.
I just graduated academy for rca. Your videos are very informative. Thank you so much
Thank you for checking them out! Congratulations for your Graduation ... hang in there!
I know you no longer work for the Post Office, their loss. But I just wanted to thank you for making these videos. Your down to earth and you gave the information I needed. All the other postal UA-camrs talk about is the pay and hours. I found your channel the morning of my shadow day, I was so nervous, but your videos helped me and I'm sticking to it. So thank you, I hope you still see comments for these videos. I also hope your doing well.
Still work there yet ?
AWWW Thank you so much for the comments. I loved reading this, you really put a smile on my face. I've been through the ringer thats for sure. I'm so happy I helped you in some way, that's what I was trying to do :) so happy it worked for someone :)
@@FranticPandaCreationHi! I’m a new subscriber to your channel and I love your videos! But I just read that you aren’t a CCA anymore. It seems to me that you fitted perfectly for that position (sorry if I make spelling mistakes because English isn’t my first language)
I just sent my Driver License info to USPS to continue with the hiring process but I’m hesitating about it now 😅Since a lot of people say that it’s a very hard work. Anyway, may ask you why you quit your position?
Thank you for your time and your kindness. Many blessings to you and your family 🙏🏼
Thank you so much for this video I'm about to go to academy on Wednesday Jan. 29,2020 nerves but excited.
Liberty Fenner don’t be nervous, gonna be the easiest money you’ll make while being at the post office
Hi beautiful how you like it? Are you still there
😂 love and agree about your comment regarding missing talking to people in the office
Love your videos, I’m still waiting to here about getting a rural carrier job
👦
Good luck to you!! I hope you love it as much as I do :)
Thank you. I left my job at the hospital to work here!
Hi, I found this video very helpful. Today I received an email letting me know my orientation starts on Monday. I am very excited and have been waiting for this moment for over two months. The problem I have is that this gives me no time to put in a proper two weeks notice. I was curious if you ran into this situation and if so what you did. In the email there was a number of a few people to call with any questions and I was going to see if I could push back the orientation but at the same time I don't want to cause a problem right out of the gate. I look forward to reading your response and to more of your videos about being a CCA as they are very helpful
William Werner hey there!! Thank you for checking out my videos!
I too did not receive a full 2 week notice. I personally didn’t like my last job, so I didn’t blink. I know that sounds bad- but there is a HUGE reason why. The way I see it, USPS is a career - it’s something I can be proud of doing, be more healthy, make more money, and be able to retire from. I didn’t want to let that chance go. It’s a gamble yes, but if you try and do good, you don’t have to worry. You just have to be willing to be sore, be tired, be frustrated, and growing.

Hi. Just watched your video. Where did you get your portable speaker? What kind is it?
I'm subbed!! Starting as an RCA in less then two weeks, keep these vids commin!
thank you so much!! I hope everything is going well for you and your journey :)
I just got done with orientation and I'm headed to my RCA academy in a week!
Yay!! Congrats!!!
Is there holiday pay? And you had mentioned that b4 6am and after 6 pm they pay extra can you tell us how much?
Nice video and thanks for the positive info. I just had my interview 2 days ago, now the wait continues or so iv heard.
npdk1989 I interviewed two days ago too in Indianapolis
I hope you got it!! How is everything?
What differences are there between a city carrier or a rural assistant carrier? .... I have been offered both jobs and I decided to be an assistant city carrier but I don't know if I did well. How is the payment of overtime?
63 routes! Wow, my station has 14!
What kind of shoes did you buy? Are they comfortable?
Good job Mandy
I can and will pay for your notes. Start Academy on Tuesday.
Hi.. How long does it take for them to send an email to start the academy?
Do you get to keep the uniform?
Manda, great job, I gotta go through the academy, what can you tell me from the 4 days, if you show up and try they don’t fire you , sounds like a good job thanks
I hope everything went well for you! How are you liking the job? Are you still doing it?
i have questions after Orientation how soon do you start working ?
I start academy tomorrow. I'm excited and terrified at the same time as I'm not the sharpest crayon in the drawer
I hope it all went well for you - if you stick to it, it can be a great career, I miss it
Wheres the amazon links you mentioned in description?
Hi thanks for your video I really liked it may I ask you a question how do you back up that LLV ? How do you do parallel parking? Could you please let me know
Shahin Hossain we have to heavily rely on our mirrors
Yahoooooo I passed my driving test of LLV & FFV not that hard
yay I am glad you passed :)
I would like to thank you for your video.. I've started my Journey as a CCA.. After my shadow day I was like what the heck I got myself into.. I was ready to quit after 19,000+ steps.. I have had 2 days regular training.. I went to academy and finished.. I did the LLV training and unfortunately failed.. I went over the line to many times. but just waiting to reschedule my driving... I look forward to being successful.. I'm not giving up.. This hopefully my forever job.. I'm looking for a job that I can retire.. Thank you Mani.. my name is Carlos G.
If at anytime you're by your supervisor about an issue always try to remember the conversation and write it down it could help you at the end. Thanks retired Letter Carrier.
First girlyyyy :D!!!
Hinna Khan thank you so much ❤️❤️
@@FranticPandaCreation it's my.pleasure I'm always super duper excited to see what's going on in ma girls life!!! Thank you for uploading and sharing your awesomeness with us
Hello! I was recently hired as a cca and start training (inside the classroom) next week. Is there anything I can do to get physically ready for this job? I'm trying to get in better shape by walking daily.
I hope everything is going well for you~! I don't think anything could have prepared me for the physical part of this job. Now it is not bad at all. At first.... it was rough, but I was very overweight :)
Can you put up what you wrote on your index cards ? Please
So you have to walk the mail? You don’t use a postal truck?
Can you send me a better picture of your accountable holder? I have done orientation, shadow day, and llv training. I start academy this Tuesday, then work the week after. I feel like I'm learning so much at once my mind is all over the place. I really love your idea though and would love to make one for myself. Please let me know 🙂
How is the driving the truck part?
Does every office have a union?
Your great👍
Thanks toots!!
I got 2 job offers one for arc and the other one is cca which one would you suggest? I really need about 40+ a week
Cca
2 days into accademy here! Anyone knows what happens on the next 2 days? so far its been just the instructor talking and then questions we have to answers and for me its just hard to concentrate on everything he's saying and then having to remember it. Wondering if the other days will be more active training
How is it going so far
@@dawereck2903 I ended up leaving, only made it to the third day of accademy, for personal reasons
@@karinalemus2305 where u work now?
@@chiickiin1524 I don’t work. I’m a stay at home mom for now. I would say for anyone thinking to give the usps a try to have in mind this job is very demanding, long shifts, very physical, and schedules that are just not flexible
Hey did they get on you about the time it takes you to deliver? What's been the hardest part for you so far?
The hardest part for me was parcels and flats - trying to remember where they go when I got there. I was so frazzled at first. Once I learned the routes it was so much easier to remember when and where I will have a package. It just took time. Now I write the house number on the top of the packages in my bag and put them in order when I need to grab them.
I’ve been watching and waiting for my answer, but I’ve been wondering for so long about the gas situation in the mail truck, like are you responsible for the gas every shift?
The po covers gas
Hello! I was wondering how many hours a CCA gets and, how long it took you to get a start date after your fingerprints/background check cleared?
CCA’s get abused and work over 50 hours a week at most stations. Most CCA’s quit because of poor management. They don’t care if you’re tired or if you have something personal to do. 90 day probation no call out or accidents. No benefits, just a very high health insurance premium option until you complete 2 yrs (at least) and convert to a “career employee”, that’s when you start accumulating towards a federal pension and TSP (aka 401k). Some are still CCA’s at 5 years without federal benefits. Just something to think about.
@@blandon2042 lol word
Yahoooooo I passed my driving test LLV and FFV waiting for my academy training
How is it going?
Good 4 u
Hope everything is going well for ya!!
So is the accademy training something you have to pass too? is there like an assesment at the end or something
I just took my test made a 92 on it. Now waiting to get an email from the office. Is it stressful?
Yooo Ashton did you ever got an email? I also pass about week ago and still waiting..
Do you get paid for orientation shadow day, llv on the job training and defensive driving? And how do you track those hours. If you are starting from orientation
MaadMonkTV they do pay you for all training for orientation, driving, etc. they track the hours by sign in sheets. Each day is 8 hr pay. The driving is 5 hours paid.
@@DarkNekoCrochet thank you KOKO. I start on monday orientation for 2 days. Are you working there as well? I only hate that I filled out in june 3 months ago and I finally got the job. But now it's going to winter and jeez that could be brutal to get over the 90 day hump. Lol. Smh
MaadMonkTV yup I do. I just finished my Carrier academy. I do my OJI training Tuesday. Winter is gonna suck I live in NYC so I know. But it kinda makes it a lil easier to get past the 90 days since we’re coming in when they need us the most. That’s what another CCA at my station said. She’s a year in and came in at this time too
You should get a green book from your union steward that you can use to track your hours worked.
there may be an app for your phone that tracks miles driven too
@@FranticPandaCreation thanks madi. Never heard of this app. But I may check it out. Also in another video u mention joining the union right away. Or I could misheard the info. It's been a while since I saw that video. Could u elaborate. And when should I ask to join? Ex after orientation. Or after I got 2 weeks in the door? When did u ask? and are u in it currently?
How long did u drove that LLV in that Academy?
Not long at all. We were done within a couple hours.
What is your barks like
How many hours a week did you get when you started??
I worked from 1-6 when I first started ... they gave me "confidence building" routes. ... they were basically drops from regular routes that the regular couldn't finish each day.
Once they gave me a little then I worked 50-60 hours a week. We are super short on CCAs and the regulars in my area tend to call in a lot.
Was glad to hear you have a husband. I have wondered if this job is doable for married people. I have a wife and three kids. I know it will be busy at first, but I'm concerned this job is not family friendly. Any thoughts?
As long as your spouse is understanding that there is a light at the end of the tunnel it will be ok. Some people like to keep their spouse on a short leash. You may work 12 hour days 6 days a week. It is tough, but when you get regular after 1-3 years you will be able to do "route only"
@@FranticPandaCreation Once getting regular, do you have Sunday's off? Also, I have often heard that they essentially force you to lie about not having enough time to delivery packages by scanning them "inaccessible," when really the issue is not enough drivers/time. Have you dealt with this much? Thanks for your reply. I was offered a job, but I'm still hesitating to pull the trigger. I figured it is better to not accept at first than to go through hiring and then quit. I want to commit to whatever I do.
I do the test the first they send to the email
. How many days after i do the test i need to wait for a email from them?
I don't remember hunny. Its been so long :( I wish I could help
So did you get your raise after your 90 days
Good luke.
I’m at pre hiring list but so worry about everything
Bong Le same
kk 50 cent did you pass 474 test and what is you score
Pre-hiring list essentially means you're on the list for an interview with the post master of the office you applied.
If you pass through the interview, and made a good impression, you'll see yourself move to the hiring list, that's basically the list the post master sends HR, for who they would prefer to hire, based on the interview.
Then from there, you may be put on a selection list.
That's the step im at now, still waiting on the drug & background emails though.
AustinFan4Life more than 1 month now. Don’t see anything. :((
@@tyronejackson3020why dont you go back to Compton homie
so much drama working in the office
@Janice I did PSE before and it was so much drama like high school. I applied for CCA. I start my 4 day academy Tuesday!
like
what is the name of the spker:)
Quick question... I have accepted my conditional offer for a CCA. I submitted for the background check and took drug test today. How soon should I expect a response? Anyone know? Trying to contain my excitement. 🤪😜😂😂
Max 10 days. i went to interview , got my letter the on email, next day , did my drug test day 4, Got all the paper done with in 10days, started ordination same month, Academy after, OJI next day , i was on the field on day 30. today is my 36th day doing my own full route.
You probable already heard back from them already, after those steps they usually call you immediately, keep checking your emails.
@@koshysamuel8070 10days is not the Max. Because its a little different for everyone
I hope you are a CCA now and loving it :)
My process was pretty fast - some people told me it all took months.
Where can I apply ? I’m interested I tried one website they charged me 39 dls but it’s just exam guides only 😩Can someone plz give me the actual website to apply Thank you
Can you wear a nose ring to work for usps?
I know this is so late, but we could present ourselves however we wanted, which was a perk to me!
Last week I do my finger prints, got a conditional job offer. My question if they give me the job is a problem if my English is not 100% my first lenguaje is Spanish. Thank you so much
Estas trabajando en usps??
@@anasaldana1101 si
Mi situación es igual, ahora estoy esperando ell training, me dan nervios
@@anasaldana1101 así estaba yo pero es fácil el entrenamiento y no se ocupa demasiado el inglés que era mi mayor miedo ya cumplí un año

I just got a job in Kentucky for a RCA. Getting my fingerprints done tomorrow but had questions! Do RCA non full time workers get to wear uniforms? They said I would need my own vehicle which I have but I’m not able to right hand drive because of the middle dash! Do I really have to buy a whole new car just to work?
Hey, are you still an RCA?
Lindsay Alexandra I am still waiting on my federal background check! It’s been over a month! I’m guessing Christmas got in the way
@@Davidmaccc oh yea, sounds like it. I would call HR to follow up
Do you work in Fort Myers?
Nope I am in the Kentuckiana district in the midwest
Are you working all Saturday.
I worked every Saturday and almost every Sunday. I don't know if USPS still does Sunday deliveries or not, but when I was a CCA we did.
Are you willing to sell me your notes lol seriously
TMI w/ the blister talk
😣...😉
Yeah - but I feel like people should know. That they aren't the only ones.
Your telling me you have to buy your uniform Why is that and what are union doing allowing this in the first place
It looks likes you cried a lot
