Census Opportunities!!

Many of you are already aware that it’s the year for the US Census. What some of you might not know is that the Census is hiring RIGHT NOW in Dallas. In general these jobs pay very well (over $15/hr) are hiring a large number of people. They do consider ex-offenders on a cbc basis. There is a test which you must take but there are many practice tests online so you can prepare prior to taking the real test (you can also retest again and again if you don’t pass the first time). As usual for government jobs Veterans can also claim priority.

The phone number is 1-866-861-2010 and here are some links that will be helpful if you are interested in this GREAT job opportunity:
