Census job

    So a few weeks ago, I took a test to get a job with the census. I scored extremely high. So today during a smoke session with my friend, HR called me and said I was chosen and had training tomorrow morning. I'm doing administrative stuff.
    So I'm wondering if anyone has had a job with the census bureau and had a drug test. It sounds like I already have the job but im not sure if they might test. I know different states might have different rules.
    The last job i did a drug test was for the county government. but we took it before training.

    You're golden, man! I've been working at the census since february. Before I got hired, I took a t-break because I thought, since it's the fucking government, they'd test me. But they called and I never had to take one. Fly high or die! :p

    That's a pretty neat story. I was thinking of working for the census this summer, but I have been leaning toward getting an old job back because I know I won't have to take a test for it. The census job sounds like a lot of fun, and the pay checks are more than double the size of my old ones! With this post in mind, I think I'll do a little more looking around and maybe make a few calls. Thanks for sharing.

    I don't know what you're doing for them, but since a fair amount of college kids work for it, I wouldn't be that surprised if they just wanted to avoid the hassle altogether.

    Nope, No drug testing!
    I start training next week and'll be working for 4 to 6 weeks after that, making 11.50 an hour and getting paid .50 per mile driven. It's a sweet temporary job and I can blaze all day while doing it!

    I start training then too. I got a 97 on the test but that doesn't even matter. You can get a 70 and you'd still be chosen because all the other people taking the test were new immigrants. They all failed miserably.

    The US Census Bureau is recruiting for short-term, temporary, part-time jobs for the 2010 Census.

    WTF? Here in Indiana, the only reason you got a phone call after taking the test is "if you failed"

    So, I never got the call, so i thought I passed!? But, never got an email or phone call or nothing with my test score!? I know I did good because its a dumb test...

    That was like 2 months ago, still havent heard anything about the job, good thing I wasnt waiting around for it...

    You get 18.75 an hour for being a census worker!?
     
  13. #13 DiAmOnD RaStA, Apr 18, 2010
    Depends on the position I think, but I know someone working in the office making $18/hr

    I doubt the people walking around get that much

    so as long as your 18 you can do the job? where do you apply?
     
  15. #15 DiAmOnD RaStA, Apr 18, 2010

    nope no drug testing at all. lol. We didnt go by percentages for the test just how many you got right. I only missed one question.

    So I get paid to sit in a chair and monitor the printer for 8 hours. haha. I just staple and paperclip papers all day.
