Jobs: FIELD INTERVIEWER POSITIONS AVAILABLE
Field Interviewer Positions Available
Flexible Schedule – From 20 to 35 hours/per week
March 15, 2009 – June 06, 2009
White Center Neighborhoods
The National Organization for Research at the University of Chicago (NORC) seeks reliable, outgoing, persuasive people to conduct phone, and in-person interviews within the homes of residents of selected White Center neighborhoods, March 15th – June 06th 2009. 30-35 interviewers will be staffed. This research survey will focus on community issues in these neighborhoods. Interviewers must gain the cooperation of the residents of sampled households and maintain strict confidentiality standards.
Interviewers must be self-motivated, have a valid driver’s license, an insured working car, and a land telephone. Interviewers will report weekly to Field Managers. No selling. Background check and driving history conducted.
Hourly rate $14.37 plus mileage
SPECIFIC TASKS:
Interviewers administer a structured questionnaire by phone or in/person in scientifically sampled households. Only one household member is selected for the interview. The interview itself takes about an hour to administer. The survey collects data about the respondents’ neighborhood and community.
This information is gathered carefully and systematically. A lot of reporting and record keeping is required. Interviewers will be well trained and supported by Field Managers. All of the interviews must be completed within a 12‑week field period but the work must progress very quickly, leaving the last weeks of the field period just for clean‑up tasks.
TRAINING:
Successful applicants will attend 4 days of paid training in Seattle March 11th through March 15th. Attendance at all assigned training sessions is mandatory.
AVAILABILITY:
Successful applicants must be available to work from 20 – 35 hours/week on a flexible schedule including most week nights and week-ends (Sat and Sunday). Work hours will vary with the progress of the data collection effort throughout the field period. This is an interesting position for individuals with flexible availability when residents are expected to be home most frequently–evenings and weekends and (less frequently) weekday hours.
Spanish and Vietnamese Bilingual speakers are strongly encouraged to apply
NORC is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
