      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at US Census Bureau (Dallas, TX) in May 2011

      Interview

      If you are interested in this kind of work, there is a number to call. You call and tell them you are interested. The next time they have a testing and interview session, they will call you to come in. I had my testing and interview session yesterday. It's important to get there early. Get there before the designated time. You want to be first in line to sign in. Interviews are done in the order that people sign in. If you sign in early, you should be able to complete the process in half a day. The first task is the skills test. You must pass the skills test. The test is pretty easy, in my opinion. Basic math, vocabulary, and map reading. It's pass/fail and they don't tell you your score. High scores don't seem to help. The only thing that matters is that you pass. The interview is the important thing. On to the interview. There are two parts to the interview, a simulation of the job tasks, followed by a structured behavioral interview. The simulated job task involves reading a series of survey questions, the same kind of questions you would read when visiting a residence to gather information. If you can read aloud, you should do well on this part of the interview. The second part of the interview was some fairly standard interview questions. I hated it, but I am terrible in job interviews. If you do fairly well in most interviews, you should do alright.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at US Census Bureau

      Interview

      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.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at US Census Bureau

      Interview

      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.
