So what was it i didn't do?
There's always been a postal exam ~ you have to take it irst. Then wait. Turnover has been slow except in 1969 ~ that was when big city employees had to have supplemental welfare if they had children! Pay was low.
I was solicited as a vet in 1977 to take the postal exam. Received a postcard that said I maxed it. No dice. No offer.
