Principled
We act with integrity and honesty, with a strong sense of fairness and justice, and with respect for the dignity and rights of people everywhere. We take responsibility for our actions and their consequences.
**Edit this**
What can you do at home???
- Involve your child in deciding on the rules for a game or activity and then ensure that they stick to the ones that have been decided upon.
- Encourage your child to play games that involve teams. Discuss with your child the qualities of a team player. What sort of person would they want on their team?
- When your child wins a game insist that he or she is a well- mannered winner. They might thank their opponent or shake hands with them if it’s appropriate.
- When playing a game, don’t change the rules to let your child win. Being a gracious loser is just as important as being a good winner.
- Connect behavior to character.
- Provide opportunities for your child to make their own decisions, discuss the consequences of their decisions.
- Read and tell stories in which the story characters demonstrate making principled decisions
- Discuss how being principled is life long commitment and well sought after as a characteristic to have

American Housing Survey
Recruiting Field Reps
The U.S. Census Bureau is committed to recruiting a diverse and inclusive workforce that is representative of our nation.
Census Bureau field representatives and field supervisors make up the majority of these positions, serving an important role in completing the mission of the agency.
Field representatives live in the local communities that they collect data for, enjoy flexible hours, receive paid training, and are reimbursed for mileage on their personally owned vehicles.
We are currently recruiting field representatives for the American Housing Survey and we need your help. The AHS is one of 130 ongoing current surveys the Census Bureau conducts. The survey has been the most comprehensive national housing survey in the United States since its start in 1973. The AHS is being conducted in your county this year. Hiring is underway through March; training would run from March through April and data collection would run from May through September.
We’re delighted to share with you a recently released Social Media and Email Marketing Recruiting Toolkit to make it easier for you to share these opportunities. The toolkit includes digital cards and suggested text you can use in your social media and email marketing campaigns to promote these job openings. We hope you’ll join us in helping get the word out!
We also encourage that you share the toolkit link with your networks who may also be interested in spreading the word about these recruitment opportunities.
If any of the prospective candidates you reach request the best web link to call and request a job application, please feel free to send them here.
