I saw an ad for this too, am considering doing it. Only thing stopping me is having to go with Moo.

My Dad does it every time. He says it's great fun. He walks around our local area to do it - he lost about 5kgs last time due to the extra exercise!

Anybody else get an interview? I had mine this arvo.

Really? Nope I've not heard a thing....

I just received a call to ask if I could attend a face to face interview. I haven't had a phone interview yet though. Do they often bypass that?? Any ideas/hints on what I should expect at the interview?? I have been a SAHM for 7 years now and toddler conversation 24/7 isn't terribly stimulating to the mind... I hope I don't make a complete fool of myself...

I did it in 2001. I was working fulltime, but living at home and no kids, not married etc. I would go around in the evenings and also weekends. I had part of the suburb next to where I was in Canberra, a reasonably well off area so almost needed to do it at night time to try and catch people otherwise they were at work. I remember that it was pretty full on, especially the pickups as you had to try 3 times before giving up. I understand that you can do it electronically this year so that would make it a lot easier for the pickups. For the last round of pickups my dad drove me between the houses as they were pretty spaced out so that helped. Night pickups were also hard though as elderly people would not answer the door - I could hear the TV going, lights would be on and they just wouldn't answer!
I couldn't see a problem doing it with little ones, unless you had somewhere with lots of apartments so stairs to deal with. A lot depends on the area you get, they try to put you near your residence, but not your immediate area.
2001 I made about $1600 for my area. I remember at the time that I made a similar amount at my fulltime job just by using my personal car and being reimbursed for mileage and it was a heck of a lot easier (and warmer - August nighttimes in Canberra are not pleasant!!)

My interview was pretty quick and simple. They went through the criteria (drivers license, lockable car, somewhere at home to keep the papers....), i had to identify on the map where my street and house was (to show you can read maps), asked what admin/organisation experience i had. i think that was it. good luck!!

Heard from our area coordinator who I know well (the beauty of a small town), there is only me and 1 other person registered for here so far, so I am guaranteed, probably won't have to have an interview either as he knows me already!
You were RAK'ed in 2015.
So I got a phone call last week for an interview and the interview is tomorrow..
Im actually nervous about it, I havent had an interview in years and Im not sure exactly how to prepare for it. I mean the man who rang who was very elderly by the sound of it and that has actually thrown me off a little, strangely enough!
can someone give7 me some encouragement please? Im a little flustered!
