Help the 2010 Census Get a Complete Count
Tuesday, February 02, 2010
Are you looking for a little extra cash or something to keep you busy?
U.S. Census Bureau's Bridgeport Local 2010 Census Office is recruiting applicants for temporary, good-paying jobs ($22.25/hour!) with flexible hours to help ensure the 2010 Census is a success. Most of these positions will be for March and April work.
Census takers are needed to conduct in-person interviews with community residents who do not return census questionnaires. It's perfect for someone with a flexible schedule as the work will likely be done in evenings and on weekends. Some positions may involve shift work. Training is required, but you'll be paid for the training days. Most training sessions are held during the day on weekdays; occasionally, a session may be held in the evening or on weekends.
The fine print:
Job applicants must be at least 18 years old, have a valid Social Security number, be able to pass a background check, and complete a 30-minute, multiple-choice, employment test that measures knowledge, skills, and abilities required to perform a variety of census jobs. In most cases, workers will also be required to possess a valid driver's license and have use of a vehicle. U.S. Citizenship is required to work for the 2010 Census except in rare occasions when no qualified U.S. citizens are available. They are also looking for bilingual applicants.
If you're interested, call 866-861-2010 to schedule an appointment to take the employment test and submit an application. TTY Callers should use 1-800-877-8339. More information, including a practice test, is available at 2010 Census.
The U.S. Census Bureau's goal is to count everyone, once and in the right place.
