Hi everyone,
I've been a lurker here for a while and I'm sorry to out myself just to ask for some advice, but I feel a bit lost at sea where I am. First, congratulations to all who've been awarded! This is so great! Second, I want to urge those who haven't to not be worried, as worry is bad for the heart and soul. I've gotten so many rejections in my life it's been awful but things work out in a more difficult way somehow.
Third, I have been recommended for a Cambodian research grant but I only got the notice that I have a skype interview next Wednesday just today. I haven't seen anyone interested in Cambodia show up, but could anyone offer me ANY sort of advice for these interviews? I'm in Canada and this is one of the few funding options I have as an American PhD student, so I am pretty worried (obviously my previous words are a more 'do what I say,' suggestion).
Anyway, what can I do in a week full of TAing and 'writing' to prepare? Anyone with any advice? I could use any help or suggestions, etc.
Sorry to take up the time and intrude on an already close-knit group of people. I can see how supportive you are of each other and I am just finding myself with no one here irl who was both awarded the fulbright and has had an interview for it (I don't know if it's because my fellow PhDers are studying African countries or what).
too long! anyway: advice for a skype interview?
thank you, darce
