I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at US Census Bureau (Marion, IL) in Apr 2012
Interview
Census offered temp jobs, I believe they did a background check but that is all. Apply and get accepted. Census needs personnel every ten years for the decennial census. I went to the local school where the application took place, very easy and straightforward.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at US Census Bureau (Tucson, AZ)
Interview
Elongated hiring process. Resume and application are reviewed, then a screening interview is completed. The interval between application and notification of acceptance/rejection can be long. The testing phase of the interview process is easy, probably at about a 6th grade level for reading and comprehension. Multiple language candidates must demonstrate the ability to read/write the any additional language(s).
