The top candidates from the testing area are then scheduled for training (upon successful background check / employment eligibility).

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you most efficiently complete this block?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at US Census Bureau (Washington, DC)
Interview
I was first contacted to do a phone interview that was relatively easy. We discussed practical matters such as my work history, living location, and transportation. Once I completed that initial contact I was given the location of the first of several trainings for the position. The training in itself served as an interview for the Crew Leaders and Director to analyze the candidates for potential new hires.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at US Census Bureau (Charleston, SC) in Feb 2011
Interview
I applied for the job as an enumerator online through a job site, though I don't remember which one. About a month later I got a call to come and take a test, and was given a choice of dates, times and locations. I took the test that was super simple math and reading questions. They were for me anyways. I didn't hear back for another three weeks and had pretty much wrote the job off. Then they called and said that I had made a perfect score and wanted to know if I would be interested in being a crew leader assistant. The only thing that they asked was my availability and if I had dependable transportation.
