Called To Serve As an Interviewer.

I've had the opportunity to interview and be interviewed on a number of times, which has given me a great deal of experience.

I was honoured to be invited to participate in a two-day interview process by the Canada Mathare Education Trust (CMETrust) to award educational scholarships to deserving Mathare Valley youth from low-income households who are top performers in school and are dedicated to giving back to their community.

My overall impression is that a large number of Mathare's bright young people ('A' type students) are in dire need of assistance. A substantial portion of the young people are dedicated and focused on making it happen for themselves, their families, and the community, even though they come from an underprivileged neighbourhood. Mothers support a sizable portion of households, who earn a fluctuating income from menial jobs.

One question you will never miss in any interview is, tell us about yourself. This question may sound simple, but it needs a deep understanding of context. In many cases, it finds many off guard whenever I conduct interviews. The question I want to ask you today is: How well do you know yourself?

I wish every applicant academic success and encourage them to never give up in the event that they are not selected for one of the few available scholarship spots.
