I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at US Census Bureau (New York, NY)
Interview
I responded to an ad on Craigslist for the position. They called me a few weeks later to take a test. The test questions are confidential but there is a similar version of a previous year's exam floating around the internet. The test takers told us we can study it. Whoever passes the test moves on to the interview. They ask you to read census survey questions verbatim as if you would if you were on the job. They ask a few questions about how you would handle and solve various challenges on the job.
Long process but considering the number of applicants it should be expected It was a phone interview and was not difficult at all they seem to want to be certain the candidates like people and are able to onock on doors
The interview looks more at checking certain boxes as opposed to skill. It looks like this is a constantly vacant position. The position is part-time with no guaranteed hours. Cannot say that it's a difficult job or anything, but the application was tedious than the interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
It was more of a description of the job and whether I was still interested.
After an online application they called with a simple telephone interview. They want to know about your availability and preferred schedule. They ask for basic background information. The online application has all of the information that they really need to place you so it is mostly a verification of the information you have already provided.
