4) VIETNAMESE SPEAKERS NEEDED
Our survey research company here in Gainesville, Perceptive Market Research (www.pmrresearch.com), has a telephone survey we are going to conduct in early April that will be with several English, Spanish and Vietnamese communities in California. The topic is healthcare.
We are seeking bi-lingual people who would be able to conduct the interviews in Vietnamese with the Vietnamese community. Our interviewing staff currently is about 60 interviewers, many bi-lingual in Spanish, most all UF students. However for this, and possible other future surveys, we are seeking Vietnamese-speaking interviewers.
We are paying $10 per hour for Vietnamese-language interviewing and all interviews would be conducted from our telephone survey research center right here in Gainesville (at Biven's Oak right next to IHOP on SW 13th Street). The times are flexible and can be done either during the day from 1pm - 5pm or anytime from 5pm-11pm
If interested, or know of people who would be interested, please call me at 336-6760, ext. 4012 or on my cell phone at 352-870-2579. Or, you can contact me at this e-mail address.
Thank you very much for your consideration and help. I hope to hear from you soon.
Respectfully,
Ken

What is VSO?
Started over 30 years ago, the Vietnamese Student Organization formed to bring together students from various backgrounds for a combination of academic and social success. VSO is devoted to promoting and educating the campus as well as the community about the Vietnamese culture and the Vietnamese people. Through events such as pageants and cultural presentations and shows, VSO hopes to provide the community and members with valuable information that will give them a better understanding of the Vietnamese culture and norms. VSO provides a wonderful opportunity to meet people of diverse backgrounds which helps establish long lasting relationships.
Who is in VSO?
VSO is comprised of anyone and everyone who is interested in the Vietnamese Culture and in meeting new people. Everyone is welcome to join the VSO family!!!
What Does VSO DO?
VSO does many on & off campus activities. We play intramural sports such as 7 on 7 flag football, volleyball, soccer and basketball. And we also host fundraisers such as our famous Pho Fundraiser twice a year to fund Tet Trung Thu in the fall and Tet Celebration in the spring. Outside of cultural events we have many social events & an active big brother big sister (Anh Chi Em) program. Serving the community & cultivating leadership are priority to the VSO family.
