The AES market research interviewer job description
We are looking for either one full-time or two part-time interviewers for either an early morning (start between 4:00 and 7:00 a.m., meaning, must be able to start as early as 4:00 a.m. at least on some days) or evening shift (start between 2:00 and 5:00 p.m., meaning, must be able to work as late as midnight at least on some days). 4-5 days total per week with at least one of these days being a weekend day. Most days at SFO, one day in different neighborhoods of the city of San Francisco.
September 2022: Currently only the early morning shift is available.
Conduct surveys in a wide variety of public environments.
The primary location of this work is at San Francisco International Airport (conducting surveys post-security) but at times it also includes conducting surveys on board various public transit systems. You'll be provided a detailed schedule of specifically which (flights, buses, areas, etc.) you are to cover, and the start and end time of each shift.
About once a week, and for a few days upon initial hire (until you're properly badged for SFO*), you would work on an alternate study. This study is conducted outdoors in various areas of San Francisco, and requires doing a detailed assessment of street/sidewalk conditions.
Work shifts are approx. 6-7 hours.
The assignment lasts approx. until the end of 2022 and might be continued. Applicants have to be able to commit to at least 3-4 months.
Each person will undergo (paid) training on every project.
* To get properly badged for SFO, you have to complete a form, get fingerprinted, pass a background check, and get security trained.
Qualifications & Requirements:
Availability Must be able to work:
4-5 days total per week (will consider 3 days per week for exceptional candidates) with at least one of these days being a weekend day,
For morning people, the shift would start between 4 am and 7 am and for night owls, the shift would start between 2 pm and 5 pm -
or anything in between (please state your preference) .
Must be able to pass a federal background check (for SFO).
Must be fully vaccinated against COVID (including any boosters, if eligible), as this work is extensively with the public. Must provide proof of vaccinations.
Comfortable with interacting with a lot of people; background in customer service related areas very helpful.
Candidates do not necessarily need to be super-outgoing (indeed, being overly outgoing could possibly be a detriment as such trait might distract from focusing on conducting the surveys). The right candidates should not be timid or shy, but someone who is organized and able to stay focused on doing the work.
Ability to focus on the task at hand, which is conducting surveys; clear understanding they are NOT an ambassador to help anyone with an issue (e.g. direct others seeking transit/flight info to the correct parties, others seeking help with luggage, etc. directed as needed).
Organized and dependable; capable of showing up where/when scheduled, communicating in a timely manner when questions or issues arise.
Approximate hourly pay rates:
$21.00 - $23.00 for day time shift
$23.00 - $25.00 if you're willing to work early morning or evening shift
