To be eligible for hire all applicants must take a Basic Skills Test. A Basic Skills practice test is on-line at www.census.gov under 2010 Census Taker Employment Opportunities. Applicants must score 10 out of 28 to pass. Applicants may re-test if they don’t pass the first time. Applicants may also re-test if they wish to improve their score.
Applicants interested in Office Management positions, must take a Management Test. There is no practice test on-line for the Management Test. Applicants must score 15 out of 29 to pass. Applicants may re-test if they don’t pass the first time. Applicants may also re-test if they wish to improve their score. Applicants may call the General Recruiting phone number at (612) 216-5970 to schedule a test. These tests are qualifiers and do not guarantee employment. If applicants pass test and pass a background check, they are placed in a pool of eligible employees.
When applying, always be specific regarding availability. It’s better to be open and flexible for all positions in both the offices and in the field.
