Phoned the interviewer back she said all paperwork has gone to Census office and not sure what happened after that, so she has nothing to do anymore with it. My papers were just tossed around from person to person -_-.

Also, I heard that they hire on a as-needed basis for neighbourhoods, sooo.... yea.

Same here. I was pretty confident that I'd get the job but I guess they thought otherwise, lulz.

so i posted this back in early May...my references got called last week and they were caught off-guard because I told them they should expect a call mid April...not two months after.

What a joke..if they had the capacity to hire 35K employees across the country this is beyond disorganized. Even if they tell me to come in for a training I'll laugh and then decline. and they even screwed up my household's questionnaire, ha.

Just go for training. You get paid $14.72/hr for 14 hours. But training doesn't take up the full 14 hours, you get out 3-5 hours early depending on your trainer / Crew Leader. I fell asleep for 35 minutes and no one even care.

Then just quit after that.

I just remembered about this!

Anyway, a few months ago I took the test, got a phone interview, and was told that I'd get a call back. About a month and a half ago, I received a call from someone from Census and that person said he would call me back in "a week". I can't really remember the details.

Fast-forward to today and I've had no communication with anyone at Census at all.

I started to think maybe the phone call was a scam but I'm pretty sure I didn't give any sensitive info over the call.

LOL~ Had my interview~ She called my references~

Before the interview, I asked how long is this job is for...she told me she's just gathering people for the hiring pool and trying to wrap up the entire census by end of August!!


Waste of summer if the job is for less than a month
