Tips to Pass the 2010 Census Test

The following are tips to passing the 2010 Census Exam:

1. Call your local Census Bureau office to schedule your test.
2. Download the census practice test - this is a must as you only have 30 minutes for 28 questions and they are not easy questions.
3. Set aside a minimum of 2 hours on the day of the test to fill out the paperwork, take the test and to receive your score.
   
4. Bring your ID and social security card, or just your passport.

To pass the census test you must answer at least 10 questions correct but the higher your score the faster you will be hired. You are allowed to retake the exam if you do not pass or you would like to try for a higher score.

2010 Census Is Hiring

With the hundreds of layoffs in recent months it is rare to hear of an employer hiring but with the 2010 Census around the corner the Federal Government is in need of thousands of employees.

From the website:

"The U.S. Census Bureau is recruiting temporary part-time census takers for the 2010 Census. The pay is good, the hours are flexible, and the work is close to home.

Census taker jobs are excellent for retirees, college students, persons who want to work part-time, persons who are between jobs, or just about anyone who wants to earn extra money while performing an important service for their community."

You can find your local Census Office with their interactive map to schedule a test.

I Swore In An Attorney Today

Today I had first. I was found on the internet by a gentleman who recently passed his bar exam and he needed to be sworn in by a notary to legally start practicing law.

He missed the swearing-in ceremony at his school because he was out of town but thankfully the CA State Bar Association offers alternatives. One of the options was to be sworn in by a notary.

He read the Attorney's Oath:

"I solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of California, and that I will faithfully discharge the duties of an attorney and counselor at law to the best of my knowledge and ability."

After reading the oath I notarized his signature. It was quick and painless. It's always fun to find new ways to use my notary stamp.

Easy Online Notary Classes

Online education is all the rage these days as more than a few schools are offering this option to their students.

If your life is as busy as mine, sitting in a classroom is not on your list of favorite things to do. When I needed to renew my notary license I was happy to find that this also could be accomplished online.

I found the simplest way to renew or to become a notary was online with Golden State Notary. When I renewed my notary license earlier this year I found the process pretty painless.

After I downloaded and printed the training materials I simply watched the streaming video to meet the State of CA mandated hour requirement. Once I finished viewing the videos I was able to print the confirmation certificate that I needed to take the notary test.

Whether you choose DVD or online you can painlessly renew or become a notary from the comfort of your home with Golden State Notary.

The Holiday Slow Down Has Begun

With November comes a disease called holidayitis aka holiday slow down. The symptoms of this yearly phenomenon hits the masses as everyone starts to slow down as Thanksgiving and Christmas approach.

The business world is affected with less e-mail, fewer returned phone calls and just an overall work slow down. Instead of concentrating on work many are focusing on their upcoming vacation.

Personally, I plan to use the increased free time to declutter, get organized and to prepare for entering 2009. My goal is to enter the new year prepared with a revised business plan, marketing plan and ready for an increase in business.

A question to my readers:

How is your year end turning out? What have you learned that you plan to use in 2009?
