Gunalcheesh, Haw.aa,
Attached you’ll find the recruitment flyer from our contractor, Information Insights. The timeline for our survey will likely be before the end of the semester. It would be great to have Alaska Native callers and people familiar with at least the broader context of our community. Compensation is $15 an hour. And dependent upon the final length of our survey, it may take between 2-4 weeks to complete. Information Insights will make calls Monday through Thursday evenings from 6:30 to 9:00 p.m. and Saturday between noon and 4:00 p.m. There is no expectation that students be available to work every evening; they can sign up to work the days that fit their schedule.
Students don’t need to have any experience with surveys, but do need to be 1) not too shy to call strangers, 2) not too thin skinned, have to be able to handle people hanging up on you and not take it personally, 3) polite with a good presence on the phone, and 4) detail oriented enough to accurately administer the survey and record the answers properly. Training is provided, along with all the equipment and materials necessary to make the calls. All calls are made from the Information Insights office which is right across the river from TCC.
Also, if you know other Alaska Native people who would make good callers or would be interested in learning about this opportunity, there is no requirement that callers be students. The contact at Information Insights is Sylvan Robb and her information is on the flyer.
Again, thank you so much for your help. All the best, Liz
