I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at US Census Bureau
Interview
First you take a test to see if you can read, write and have any sense of direction. Once passing the test it could be between getting an interview on the spot up to two years before you are call. Questions are easy and the process you go through to get hired or trained doesn't really prepare you for what actually happens in the field talking to real people.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you handle coming in to a high crime area?
Long process but considering the number of applicants it should be expected It was a phone interview and was not difficult at all they seem to want to be certain the candidates like people and are able to onock on doors
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.

Question 1
It was more of a description of the job and whether I was still interested.
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.
