Job Opportunity: US Census taker $17.50/hour

Hi. If you or someone you know is looking for work, you might want to consider becoming a US Census taker. Pay starts at $17.50 an hour, is part time and temporary (from 1 to 5 months) and starts in early spring. There are thousands of census taker positions in King County, that include good pay, flexible hours, paid training, and reimbursement for work-related expenses. Census takers work in their own communities/zip codes locating households, explaining the purpose of the census, conducting brief personal interviews, helping neighbors complete their 2010 Census questionnaire, and recording responses on paper forms. This means you will be required to work when most people are typically at home, which includes evening and weekend hours. Job offers depend on several factors, such as the availability of work in your community, test score, language skills, veterans' preference, and the number of hours you are available to work each week. It is easy to apply! Just call your local Census Office and schedule to attend a meeting where you will take the 30 minute employment test and fill out the job application. There are census offices in Seattle, Tukwila and Bellevue. The phone numbers for the local offices are:
Seattle office 206-501-4160
Tukwila office 253-449-1150
Bellevue office 425-749-5110
Or you can call the toll free job line at 1-866-861-2010 or visit their website http://2010.census.gov/2010censusjobs/. Good luck!
