I applied through other source. I interviewed at US Census Bureau (Atlanta, GA) in Feb 2010
Interview
I took a qualifying test which was held at the library a short distance from my home. There were approximately 50 questions which were very easy. Everyone in my group (about 50 people) passed the test. They graded them immediately after the test was given and if you stayed you could find out your score then and there. After the test we were told that they would do a background check and would be calling back with offers in a month or two.

Question 1
A question designed to see whether you could read maps and follow directions (very logical under the circumstances but "different")

Interview
The process to become an Enumerator is very easy. You have to apply and they will train you. The training consists of teaching you hot to use the data base and how to record data as well as how to conduct interviews. They will also inform you of any regulations you have to follow.
I applied online. I interviewed at US Census Bureau
Interview
I was contacted for a phone interview. The interviewer described the position, and asked if I would have any difficulty with things like walking, climbing stairs and the like. He asked about my mode of transportation, and whether I was seeking full or part time. Questions were very straightforward, no "trick questions". After our question and answer interview, I was offered the position.
