The fact, whether the individual was looking for a temporary, permanent, full-time or seasonal job is of no importance.
The question is, however, very important, as it makes it possible to classify individuals as unemployed or economically inactive.
Individuals, who state that they were looking for job between 1st and 31st March 2011 should have the 1. "yes" indicated, and then the question about being ready to start a job should be asked.
Answer 2.

[p.34]
It should be noted that the question concerns the period up to 31st March 2011.

If the respondent looked for a job for 14 days or less, the "0" symbol should be indicated.
If a person had a break in looking for a job, which was longer than 4 weeks, the period of looking for job actively should be counted from the end of the break.
Note!
In the case of individuals, having their job arranged and waiting for it so start, the question concerns a number of months spent on looking for job before having it arranged.
In the case of unemployed individuals, who had worked before, the period of looking for a job should not be longer than the period of being unemployed.

In the case of unemployed individuals, as well as those looking for a job actively (answer 1 "yes" in question 18) or individuals, having their job arranged and waiting for it to start within next 2 months (answer 2 in question 18), being ready to start a job ( answer 1 "yes" in question 20) is the main requirement to classify the individuals as "unemployed".

Module 12 -- Building (questions 1-6)
General provisions
[p.68]
Principles on determining the separateness of particular buildings during the census concern providing proper numeration of the inhabitable constructions. According to the principles, a separate building is considered an individual building, which is separated from other constructions by a free space and having its own number.
A separate building is also understood as a building having more than one number (in the case, when consecutive staircases have been labeled with different numbers), but the building creates an integral, architectonical whole.
1. In the case of collective constructions, created by buildings forming an integral architectonical whole or based on combination of buildings being architecturally different, a separate building is understood as every building or section having its own number. Such situation can be encountered in the case of detached houses, for example.
2. If the building has only one number, but is formed by few constructions combined together, they should be considered a single building, if the walls of the constructions are made from the same material, unless there are significant differences in height or age of the constructions and there is no doubt that they are separate buildings. Buildings, the walls of which are constructed from different materials should be considered separate buildings.
3. Information on multi-residential buildings will be gathered from the Database of Buildings, mainly on the basis of information gathered from organizational units having no legal personality, legal persons, individuals providing services for local units, the basic economic activity of whom is management or supervision over buildings, being owned by: companies, Ministries of the Interior, Justice, National Defense, housing collectives, building companies, local self-government units, and other parties being in possession of buildings and other constructions.

Question 2. Number of dwellings in the building
[p.69]
A number of all dwellings located in the building should be indicated.
Question 3. Form of building ownership:
[p.69]
1. The owner of the building is understood as an individual, a legal person, or an organizational unit without law personality having the ownership title for the building, which is confirmed by proper record in the Land and Mortgage Register or in other document confirming the ownership. The fact, whether the party owns the building for its own usage, or it is entirely or partially rented for other individuals or institutions is of no importance.
Therefore, except of individuals, the building can be owned by the gmina, a (state, communal or private) company, the State Treasury, financial institution, insurance institution, partnership, religious organization, etc.
While specifying the answer for the question, the right of ownership of the building should be taken into consideration at first. The plot of land, where the building is located may not be owned by the owner of the building or it may be owned for life.
2. In the case of buildings owned by one party in their entirety (that is -- there is no room in the building owned by any other party), the answers "natural person", "housing cooperative", "gmina", "State Treasury", "company", "public building society", or "other entity" should be chosen.

In the case of single-family houses (built by housing cooperatives, single-family houses construction association or any other cooperative), the factual law status of the building must be indicated as for the critical moment of the census. If the right of ownership was transferred to the housing cooperative/natural person, the natural person should be considered to be the owner of the building. Nevertheless, if the right of ownership was not transferred yet, the building is considered owned by the housing cooperative.
Answer: 3) gmina -- concerns buildings:

If the building was completed in stages (by finishing consecutive staircases or floors), the year of completion of the last part of the building should be taken into consideration.
If the building has been reconstructed after being destroyed, the year of completion of the reconstruction should be determined.
If the building has been renovated, the fact should not be indicated, but the year of putting the building into use by the construction supervision office.
If there are additional elements added to the existing building, such as additional chambers of floors, the year of completion of the initial building should be taken into consideration rather than the year of addition of supplementary elements.
Answer 2) Under construction concerns buildings, which are still under construction and only some parts of them, such as floors or staircases, have been put into use.
