Need a job? Come work for census bureau
Fultondale — A lot of people are out of work, but the U.S. Census Bureau has job opportunities available. A census taker is an official employee of the census bureau who collects information from residents in their neighborhood that have not sent back the 2010 census form. How hard could that be? If you are interested, Virginia will be at Fultondale City Hall on Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 10 a.m. for the next two weeks to take applications. When you fill out your application, you must also take a 30-minute test. If you need extra money to pay your bills, come fill out an application. You can call 307-5730 for other testing sites.
