I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at US Census Bureau in Jan 2019
Interview
The interview was conducted over the phone and lasted about 30 minutes. They primarily asked about availability to work hours in the evening outside of the standard 9am-5pm hours in order to be able to reach individuals at home that work during this time.
