My to-do list helps me stay on task every day, and who doesn't love checking things off when they get done?

"As you can see from my application, I've spent the last two years in a route delivery position where I managed a weekly route around this region. Having over 200 customers, I had to work in a very efficient manner while being accurate at the same time. I did this by focusing on the task at hand and keeping to a strict routine. I'm confident that this experience has prepared me for success with the United States Postal Service."
