There are no volunteering positions, all are paid and there are background checks. The only thing on the site that it said to look for in a Census worker to verify that I do not do is carry my shoulder bag. The houses I go to are far apart so I drive and its too much of a hassle to get my bag out at every stop but its always in my car, other than that... I do everthing else.
I have met some interesting people so far... |
My bf works for the census too. He started as an enumerator and has now been promoted twice. (pays the same though) He doesn't have time for me anymore.
I haven't had a chance to ask him about this stuff.
