DENVER — The United States Postal Service (USPS) is preparing for the upcoming holiday season by holding its biggest hiring event in Colorado.

USPS said it is currently hiring more than 1,000 employees to work at processing facilities and post offices along the Colorado Front Range.

USPS will hold its largest Colorado career fair on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Denver General Mail Facility at 7500 E. 53rd Place.

To assist potential applicants, USPS personnel will be on-site to provide information about available positions, answer questions, and walk future employees through the application process.
