Years ago, I entertained the idea of becoming a mailman. The thing is I was living in San Diego, CA on the beach and I would see the mailman every day. He would be casually strolling down the boardwalk wearing some USPS issued shorts and weaving in and out of the way of bikini clad women on roller skates. I thought, what a great gig.

Unfortunately, we don't have that Southern California weather up in these parts. But, if you are looking for a job and fit the requirements, this could be an opportunity to get into a career or just a holiday gig.

According to USPS, they are expecting an upcoming increase in mail volume during the holiday season. They are looking to fill 250 temporary positions throughout Minnesota and Western Wisconsin.

Applicants must be 18 years of age or older (16 years old with a high school diploma or GED) and be able to pass a background check and drug test."
