If you enjoy working with people, numbers, and paperwork, this could be the perfect role for you!

Founded in 1922, The Johnson O’Connor Research Foundation is a national, non-profit organization that is dedicated to helping people of all ages (from high school to retirement) learn about their innate abilities to discover work that is both satisfying and a natural fit. Most of our clients hear about us through word-of-mouth referral by family, friends, or acquaintances familiar with our program. 

In your role here, you will:

• Administer aptitude tests using standardized scripts and hands-on props (moving chips on a board, disassembling blocks, etc.), many of which are timed with a stopwatch.
• Score tests and enter information into the computer quickly and accurately.

This could be a fulfilling position for someone who is interested in education, psychology, sociology, or in the liberal arts in general. We’ve had people apply from varied backgrounds including career counselors, college advisors, educational consultants, life coaches, teachers and tutors, librarians, office administrators, test prep/proctors, mental health therapists, and so forth.

Our national organization is committed to the well-being of its employees. We support staff enjoying life outside of work! There is no evening/weekend work required. There is no solicitation or cold calling involved. We offer full paid training on administration of our own proprietary battery of aptitude tests. Training typically lasts 2-3 weeks.

This is a fun and low-stress job for someone who is a natural fit:

• You are good at interacting in-person and one-on-one with a wide range of people in a patient and encouraging manner (especially with teenagers).
• You are comfortable moving very quickly through testing, scoring, and paperwork within set time-frames. 
• You feel comfortable memorizing instructional scripts, doing lots of basic math, and focusing while multi-tasking (not easily distracted). 
• You are conscientious, showing care for both your team members (punctual, reliable) and for quality of services provided (minimizing mistakes, following research protocols).
• You enjoy working both independently and collaboratively in a small, close-knit work environment (4-5 local staff), while getting to meet interesting new clients every day!
