I’m interviewing with them tommorrow. On the phone. Apparently this is how they do it. They have a very strange process, which starts with a personality test (apparently I have one) and then a half hour phone interview. I’m wondering what to expect. I’m also wondering what else this company is doing these days…I’m familar with the polling part, my mother used to work there. But the job I’m interviewing for is not directly related to polling. I’m going to google them but I thought I’d ask if anyone had any personal experience. Thanks ---

Gallup is a very, very reliable polling place. They do simple random samples of the population. ---

I actually got called three times by Gallup this election season. I was called twice in 1 week. I wasn’t even in a battleground state. I was in S.C.
