Census job interview

Well fingers crossed

It's very confusing but from what I can make out we get a weekly amount and then the allowances in batches throughout with some final payments at the end.

I was told by my field supervisor last week that the training will be in the evening as people had commitments in the day time. I'm easy either way once I get some notice to arrange childcare. Presume it's different for each area as they hardly train 5100 people at the same time?

Yes you have explained the pay perfectly! That's exactly how I read it in the breakdown of the amounts. What do you mean by a day nearer the time for collection? Do you mean us to collect all the forms etc? Sounds like all our training days and times will be different so

I'm sure someone else who needs the job will gladly take your place

Yep was talking to field supervisor the car bank part has worked fine glitch with other contract bit watch for new emails in coming days

The very best of luck to you all. I did the enumerators job four times. Admittedly, I was job-sharing in my ‘real-life” job, week-on week-off at the time, so I had loads of time to devote to it. My best advice is to plaster a smile on your face as soon as the front door is opened. Disarm them with charm. Even the grumpiest of people are won over by a smile. I have very happy memories of the various characters I met over the course of four censuses. Including an elderly gentleman who had a bar of chocolate waiting for me when I came back to pick up his form. “I knew by the size of ya that ya liked chocolate” he leered. Bless him, he was right!!

Enjoy the experience.

Hopefully masks will be gone, will be much more helpful calling to doors without having to wear them. Contracts are waiting on vetting to come back so will not be out until then, and only then can you do the online induction which after that will allow you to get the material delivered and then training and away you go!

Got an email from garda vetting today very ambiguously worded. Did everyone get the same l wonder. Also were jobs offered only after vetting completed?

Anyone have any definite train times and days yet or have any equipment sent to them!? All seems a little last minute to me! All I know is I start training 4pm on the 28th via zoom

Crate before training or ya wouldn't have the stuff needed for training. Should be out to you this week.

Training times vary depending on the supervisor and their enumerators. Certainly can take place in the evening, I'm not sure where you are getting your info from.

Oh that's grand thanks, I just presumed we would be going out starting as soon as the training is over!

Yeah thank you, my supervisor told me that people have commitments during the day time so ours in taking place evenings, starting 4pm on 28th
