Hola, everyone!
I'm Sara. I'm here to let you know
that the Census Bureau wants you!
The Census Bureau is serious when it comes
to recruiting the brightest and the best.
You're probably wondering, why the Census Bureau?
Here's why...
I think the work Census Bureau does impacts the nation
in every aspect.
Well the work of the Census Bureau helps the country
and affects it 'cause, it's where you get your data.
This data provides statistics that the country needs.
And also the big companies use this information.
We're not one of those sexy agencies you know,
we don't carry guns and we don't have any T.V. shows
after the Census Bureau.
So a lot of people are really in a bit of a cloud
as to what the census is, but when you really get into it
and see that it is truly a foundation of our democracy
and something that makes our country strong,
you can see that there's different ways
to serve your country and this is one of them.
The Census Bureau is doing so many things
to bring Hispanic talent on board.
We recognize that the population has grown,
the Hispanic Community is growing, we're everywhere
and we want to make sure that we have the right talent coming
to us.
Hispanics are a diverse group in itself, we're Tejanos,
we're Mexicanos, we're Cubanos, Puertorriquenos, Colombianos.
All sorts, so we've always made a point
to hire a diverse group of Hispanics as well.
Hisapanics or Latinos have done to contribute
to the diversity here is just bring their own flavor.
We always put a little spice to it.
I am Hispanic and I'm bilingual.
So of course whenever something came
up where you needed a bilingual person, I was the right choice.
We have the Commerce Latino Employee Organization,
we have Blacks In Government, we have the group for Asians,
we have G.L.O.B.E., we have Toastmasters.
There are so many different affinity groups
that you can join when you come on board.
Out of all of the places
that I have worked I've never seen a place
where there is so much diversity.
We are open to age differences, background, disciplines.
I think that's what really conceptualizes what the Census
Bureau is all about.
This is one of the first agencies that I ever worked
with that is constantly asking its workers how they can do a
better job.
We even have a directorate that's just
for strategic planning and innovation.
Employees across all divisions are able
to express their opinions, concerns and give suggestions
on the Census Bureau practices as a whole or by division.
So we're always looking for new and better ways of doing things.
I love coming to work.
My coworkers are a family far away from home.
At the Census Bureau we do believe
in the work and life balance.
We have to have a balance between the family and work
and Census Bureau really pushes that.
I think this is a place that encourages people to, you know,
go jogging at lunch time and go to exercise in the day,
and so we always value that people have a personal life
and we expect people to be dedicated to their work.
The Census Bureau understands that in order for it
to stay competitive, it must have a creative
and innovative staff.
In order to accomplish this,
it supports educational opportunities for its staff.
So we encourage definitely that people continue their education
like in project management, like getting a masters degree
in like survey methodology.
Those are things that we always encourage people to do.
The Census Bureau has not only opportunities to move up
but to move across in to different areas
so you can build your resume and build your skill set.
We all wanna be -- you don't just want a job,
you want a place that's going to develop your skills
and build yourself up,
and in the Census Bureau you can have that.
Working here in Washington, DC is exciting.
It's wonderful to live in a place where you get to see
such beautiful monuments.
You got such a sense of history
that you can just feel it in the air.
You're so close to all the museums; you're close
to places that you read about.
And the Census Bureau is located right off the Metro.
You can actually go to a ball game after work,
which is just really super.
The DC metro area has a lot to offer:
different music, different foods.
There's a zoo, there's, you know, there's an aquarium.
There's all sort of things that you can do with a family,
or when you're young and single lots of night life also.
So I think it's, it's a good place to be.
Right now this is just a great place and very great time
to work at the Census Bureau.
We need innovative, fresh talent with a rich cultural background
to come on board and help us with moving forward.
I love the concept that I work for my country.
I don't wear a uniform, I don't go to war, but none the less,
I feel what I do is important to my country and I think
that sense of patriotism and of wanting
to give back is a great thing to be able to do.
So come! Be a part of an organization that's going
to provide you the opportunities for a bright career
and even brighter future.
