I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at US Census Bureau (Hannibal, MO) in Apr 2010
Interview
Very informal. Just had a quick discussion with the field supervisor. The fact that I was a veteran helped a lot during the hiring and interview phase. It gave you a 'leg up' over those who weren't veterans. So next time census rolls around, it would be a good way for vets to get some extra income especially if they were between jobs like I was.

I applied in-person. I interviewed at US Census Bureau (Houston, TX)

Remember that this is a temporary job with the federal government. I took the census test, and was ranked for a job opening. I accepted the job. Had I not accepted, I might have come up on the list for another job ... and I might not have.
I like doing the wide variety of tasks that I have done in this position.
