BENNINGTON COUNTY — The U.S. Census Bureau has begun its second round of Census applicant testing in Bennington County. Roughly 1,000 positions will be filled across the state, beginning in the spring of 2010.
The first step in the application process is the completion of an entrance exam. These exams are currently being given in numerous locations throughout the county, with tests available weekdays, evenings, and weekends.
Successful applicants will conduct face-to-face interviews with county residents who fail to return their Census questionnaires by mail. The jobs are temporary; some are full time and others part time. Census jobs offer flexible schedules and allow close-to-home employment. Field operations pay starts at $13.50 per hour and varies by job.
Those interested in applying should go to www.2010censusjobs.gov for job descriptions, qualifications and applications, or call toll free at 1-866-861-2010. Applicants must be U.S. citizens, age 18 and older, pass a background check and basic aptitude test. Most jobs require a valid driver's license and use of a reliable vehicle.
