Open positions

Work with USEF

USEF is a nonprofit in Fresno, California. We are recruiting for five independent contractor positions, all field-based in the Fresno area.

USEF delivers financial assistance to families, support services for Afghan refugee families, community workshops, a business directory, an annual convention, and a research programme conducted with university partners. Substantially all of that is delivered in person, which is what these positions are for.

There is nothing to write at home. When you submit the form we email you a link to a short recorded interview: two questions, recorded in a single take with no preparation and no retakes. You will not see a question until the recording has already started.

Your application is not complete until the interview is recorded.

Looking for a job posted by a local business instead? USEF also runs a community job board where businesses in our directory post their own openings.

Which positions are you applying for? Tick any that interest you. The order you tick them in is the order of preference, and the first one decides how long you get per interview answer.
