Send material as plain text: no HTML, other coding,or attachments;and write MENDELE PERSONALS in the subject line. 3. Correspond directly with the person who or organization which has posted the notice, *not* with your ever-beleaguered untershames. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From: Itzik Gottesman [email protected] Date: July 17, 2012 Subject: Forverts seeking telephone survey workers FORVERTS conducting telephone survey of readers: Paid Positions The number of hours per week, and the days and times, are flexible depending on your availability, but we would like a commitment of at least 20 hours a week for at least two weeks. • You’ll be paid $9 per hour. • You’ll be given a list of names and phone numbers of Forverts subscribers. • You’ll need to try to find the phone number of most of the subscribers by searching online and/or using sites like 411.com. • You’ll call all the numbers you find and read the questions from a questionnaire to the person who answers. You’ll write down the answers to each question on a form provided. (It will probably take 15 minutes per person.) • Some of the respondents may need explanations of the questions, possibly in Yiddish. It would therefore be helpful for you to be familiar with the Forverts and be able to understand and speak some basic Yiddish. • You will be working at a desk in the Forverts offices. 125 Maiden Lane (Wall street area). Survey should take approximately 4 weeks. Contact Bob Goldfarb [email protected] _________________________________________________________ Please do not use the "reply" key when writing to Mendele.
