I interviewed at Development Initiatives (Bristol, England)

Interview

Interview in which I had to outline how I would spend a grant of £Xm. Really, this was an opportunity to outline what I thought important topics in the area would be over the last few years. There were some questions about why I didn't include certain things, and I was pressed on the details of some of my answers.

A semi-formal process that focused a little bit too much on substantive knowledge of the prevailing global development topics. I first had a panel interview with a group of 5 staff from the organization and then later with the Executive Director for Development Initiatives in Sub-Saharan Africa.
