I find myself, due to COVID-19, unlikely to continue to be employed as a corporate travel counselor as I have for the past many years; so I’m in the process of trying to find new employment.  
I’ve applied with the US Postal Service for the job of PSE SALES & SERVICE/DISTRIBUTION ASSOCIATE, and need to take the virtual online assessment 477 very soon.  
Can anyone give me some background to help ace this assessment?
