Field Representative (FR)

• This is a part-time position conducting survey interviews in community settings
• Respondents have been randomly selected and are pre-notified
• Starting hourly pay ranges from $11.95 to $14.39, depending on location
• The vehicle allowance is 56.5 cents a mile (effective January 1, 2013)
• Paid training includes 3 to 5 days, depending on the survey
• FRs are eligible for benefits over time, if conditions warrant

Requirements include

• U.S. citizenship

• Availability for daytime as well as evening and weekend work
• A reliable vehicle, valid drivers license, and private landline home phone
• Passing a 30-minute written test of basic skills and follow-up interviews
  
• Passing a background check

Monthly survey assignments vary from 20 hours to 60 hours or more a month and typically involve personal interviews along with some phone interviews. To meet deadlines, our Field Reps must be available to work when respondents are at home -- usually during evening hours and on weekends -- but sometimes daytime hours as well. The irregular hours and need for flexibility mean this position does not match well with a full-time job or a typical student workload. A large part of the job involves meeting and dealing with the public. While most people are quite cooperative, a certain percentage will require salesmanship and customer service skills before they participate. We have found that a person who enjoys meeting and talking to new people and has good time-management skills will most likely succeed as a Field Representative. In addition, the surveys we conduct provide the basis for good decision-making for communities, businesses, non-profits, and all levels of government, thus providing an important service as well. In summary, this is a challenging but rewarding position.
