https://patch.com/new-york/portwashington/full-part-time-job-opportunities-county
Although the 2020 Census won't begin to collect information until the beginning of next year, Nassau County and other local governments are getting ready by holding job fairs and otherwise reviewing resumes of people interested in temporary work. Although these are temporary jobs solely for the 2020 Census, the hourly pay is excellent, ranging from $17 to $23 an hour, depending on the position. Both full- and part-time positions are available.
To be eligible for one of the positions, applicants must be at least 18 years of age when the job starts, have a valid Social Security number and be U.S. citizens. New hires will be paid while being trained.
Applications are being accepted online at 2020census.gov/jobs, but job fairs for these positions are also being conducted. For example, Glen Cove Mayor Tim Tenke, County Comptroller Jack Schnirman and County Legislator Delia DeRiggi-Whitton have organized a job fair that will take place on Saturday, August 10 from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. at the Glen Cove Youth Bureau, located at 128 B Glen Street. There is no need to register in advance.
The Nassau County Police Department is also hiring permanent part-time crossing guards for positions throughout the County. The starting hourly salary is $25.00 for this position that offers up to 17 hours per week. Note that since it is a part-time position, no benefits are provided.
Candidates must be residents of Nassau County, have a high school diploma or G.E.D., provide their own transportation to and from their assigned location, understand and speak English well enough to be understood, direct pedestrians and vehicles in order to protect children and other people near crossings, control children while they are crossing the street, withstand inclement weather and meet minimum medical and physical requirements. Please visit wwwpdcn.org or any Nassau County Police Precinct for an application or with questions.
