gluedtopc Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Has anyone had a social survey in their home by a representitive of the National Office of Statistics-if so, what sort of questions did they ask, were they polite, did you have inhibitions about letting them into your house. I'm asking this because I am having a job interview with them and any feedback will be useful. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gingerchick Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Hi I had an interview about 2 years ago. They asked everything from your political views , where you shop to what contraception you use. The lady who called was very nice and made you feel relaxed about the whole thing. Think I got paid in postage stamps for my time lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ONS is a respectable organisation, but you must see ID to make sure that they are who they say they are. They should give you a phone number to ring to check that they are actually from ONS I think.

Gormenghast Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Did you get a letter from thm before the interviewre arrived? No, but I checked him out. He was extemely polite, and did ask searching questions, like did I ever hit my kids when they were young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
