Field Interviewer (Las Vegas)

Westat is currently seeking motivated and detail-oriented individuals to collect data for the International Survey of Adult Skills (ISAS) project.

ISAS participants are asked survey questions about their educational background, their work history, the skills they use on the job and at home, their civic engagement, and their sense of their health and well-being. In addition, ISAS participants complete an assessment that is designed to compare adults over a broad range of abilities, from simple reading to complex problem-solving skills.
