Census jobs in the Idyllwild area are still available if applicants register for and take the necessary test prior to end of February. Melanie Dark, census-recruiting assistant who has been facilitating census testing in Idyllwild, notified the Town Crier that the original local hiring target of 299 workers has been upped to 316.
As of this writing, only 82 qualified local applicants have passed the test and been approved for hire.
Local testing is conducted Wednesdays at 10 a.m., 1 and 4 p.m. at the Idyllwild Fire Protection District meeting room, and on Thursdays at 10 a.m. at Idyllwild Water District’s meeting room.
Pay in the Idyllwild area ranges from $12.50 and hour to $18.00 for jobs that will run from March/April through July. Supervisory positions could pay more. Those hired will likely work from 20 to 40 hours per week including evenings and weekends. Applicants must pass a background check, be a U.S. citizen or legal resident with work permission, have a valid social security number and driver’s license, and pass a test that involves reading comprehension, math, and map reading. The higher the test score, the higher the rate of pay and position level.
Practice tests are available, as is the downloadable application, on the census website, www.2010censusjobs.gov. But testing concludes end of February, so interested applicants should call toll free (866) 861-2010 to set an appointment, or the local office at (951) 324-2030. Questions can also be directed to Denise Salamon-Borquez, assistant manager for recruiting at (951) 324-2013.
Dark recommended calling on Monday or Tuesday to set appointments for Wednesday or Thursday test dates the same week.
