I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at US Census Bureau (Hannibal, MO) in Apr 2010
Interview
Very informal. Just had a quick discussion with the field supervisor. The fact that I was a veteran helped a lot during the hiring and interview phase. It gave you a 'leg up' over those who weren't veterans. So next time census rolls around, it would be a good way for vets to get some extra income especially if they were between jobs like I was.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I only wish that there had been more preparation and more information before you could go out into the field.
