How do you know if you've been selected for a census job position?

Ok... I went and took the test for a census job December 19. I got all 28 questions right, whoopee, but I haven't heard anything yet. Does anyone know how they go about contacting the applicants? I mean I'm not sure if I'll be hired or not, but if I were to be selected, when would I know?

1. It could take a few weeks. If you gotten 100% on your test, they might call you to test for a supervisor position. Also remember they select individuals with relevant skills, such as speaking a second language. I’ve talked to retired folks that have received scores of 70’s and 80’s and they have been hired! The Census also seems to prefer veterans over non veterans. Even if the non veterans scored higher. Good luck!
