We offer flexible scheduling of evening and weekend hours, paid sick time, and paid training.

As part of a large and diverse team, interviewers conduct public opinion research using a scripted questionnaire, calling people across the country to collect the nation's opinion on public policy, on state and national elections, and on breaking news issues.

You will need your own computer headset and will be responsible for reliable high-speed internet access. Importantly, a quiet and private place where surveys can be conducted confidentially is necessary.

Part-time hybrid positions offer $16.35 per hour; evenings and weekend shifts are required.
