      How to Answer

      Before your interview, consider the traits that have helped you succeed in the past and the one trait that matches a fundamental duty that you will perform at the USPS. I know that hiring managers love to hear how past experiences and skills that were developed can help a candidate succeed in a job, so try to match your top strength to an exact task that will be a part of the job you are interviewing for.
