The US Postal Service is held eight Hiring Fairs across Colorado Thursday, one of which was in Steamboat Springs. They were there to answer any questions and help with applications. Postmasters from Kremmling and Granby were also in Steamboat Springs to help answer questions. Veronica Gallegos is the Human Resources Manager for the Colorado-Wyoming District.
“Today we’re trying to hire enough employees in this facility to serve the community and provide those that are working here currently, and the new people that come on, an opportunity to work something that resembles a traditional 40-hour work week, without working them to the excess.”
People can still apply for jobs at www.usps.com/careers
Gallegos says they are trying to staff rural and resort communities to provide the service that the community deserves.
