text: Knew someone who worked for the Post Office in the United States and based on this fact I would say that you need to inquire of the Post Office what skills they are looking for.  Then based on the information you are able to gather I would say practice those skills for a period of time.  In the case of working for the Post Office here the hopeful job applicant must take a test and if the job applied for is one of a delivery Postman then you will be tested on where addresses are located.  Additionally it helps if you can supply previous work experience information that shows your ability to be punctual (on time) and any other information they might be seeking.\n\nMight add here that the delivery Postman only needs to know his particular route.  If you are chosen to work inside the Post Office, then you will have to learn all of the routes because you will be one of the people who sorts the mail for all of the mail carriers (delivery Postmen).
