Description: Write here only if you have personal experience of working as an sensus enumerator.

Newest Review: ... people were more likely to fill in and return the forms if the person delivering them made face to face contact and actually asked them personally to fill in the form. We had to be instructed on how to approach people to ask them to complete the forms. This got quite patronising in parts, I mean w ho needs ... more

I have just read the new category list for today (11th September) and have noticed that one has been set up for Census Enumeration.

I attended the interview and impressed the interviewer by saying that even with a full time job, 2 horses, a man and a house to run of course I had time to ...  Read the complete review
