Making a Difference: Taking the U.S. Census Bureau Test

[lovescooking]

Thought I would give an update on this. I have not received a call yet.
However, while waiting I was offered a full time job so I took it! I have been working for over a week and I like it.
I will miss out on conference this year but next year I will be there because I will have paid vacation time to use.
I am also happy to report that I have some new customers already!$$$

Congrats!

I also, after one year, finally have a job again and just completed my first full week!

I started receiving calls from the census about a week ago. I keep receiving them from different people, which is rather tedious in my opinion. Perhaps they are for different districts, etc? But I keep getting more calls and reasked.

I don't have the ability to do the training now that I am working, and with working full time, PC, and grad school, I don't know where I would find the time to do it after that!

how long does it take to take the exam?

I may be wrong, but I don't think the exam is available any longer.

It was only a half hour.

Congrats to you also!

I have been a stay-at-home-Mom for the last 11 years and decided it was time to get back out there.

I would not have the time for the training either. I want to make sure that I have plenty of time for TPC also.

I trained last week and will start the actual census taking tomorrow YAY! Unfortunately, you can not wear logo wear during the process. Yay for my car sticker

Well, I decided this past week to take the offer from the Census as I was laid off again last Friday (already) from my new job.

I was hoping someone who is currently doing the census may have some enlightening information regarding unemployment and working the census?

Does this work like any part-time work and you just keep calling every week and file as usual?

Do you have to close your UI claim and reopen when you finish the part time census position?

Thanks for any info... the info on the Internet is "vague".

Keep your fingers crossed. I took the test in 2008 and just got a call last week. I too am thinking I can try and get some business by wearing my logowear.

I am now a crew leader for non response follow up. It was due to this link that I applied for the census...Thank you for starting it! I have 3 substantial orders and 2 recruit leads!

Great news! What do you wear or carry while you are our and about?

I was supposed to be on assignment this week, but we do not have a crew leader in our area yet. It seems to be here that crew leaders only make $1 more an hour, and no one is willing to step into the position..... forget the FOS, people get in and leave the same week!
