number, be a U. S. citizen and have a valid email address.
At the job fair, you will complete an application and answer assessment questions. (Some assessment questions are available in Spanish. How- ever, an English proficiency test may also be required.).
Men born after December 31, 1959, will need to be regis- tered with the Selective Serv-
ice System or have a qualifying exemption.
Applicants will have to pass a Census-performed criminal background check and a review of criminal records, including fingerprint- ing.
Many of these positions re- quire the applicant to be able to work flexible hours, which can include days, evenings, and/or weekends.
Ernest Coney, CEO and President of the CDC of Tampa said, “Our East Tampa residents don’t often have the opportunity like those af- forded by the Census, a well- paid position, where your work is assigned according to where you live, so it is very convenient. It is also vital that this community be properly counted, since the Census is in part, relied on to determine government funding formulas for programs.”

Impact Church of Tampa is generosity. We believe that we serve a generous God who desires to express His generosity beyond the four walls of the church through His people.
“This year’s Community Yard Give-a-way is a sequel to last year with the same goal of sowing goodwill, favor, and positivity into the community.”
Last year, the church learned of a family who had lost everything in a fire. The give-a-way served as a huge blessing for them.
The giveaway is part of the church’s annual outreach project. There is no charge for the items.
For more information about the giveaway contact the church at (813) 651- 2201.”
