Interviewer - Virtual Volunteer Opportunity

Interviewer - Virtual Volunteer Opportunity

Do you have what it takes to be a good interviewer? As an online volunteer, you will be responsible for interviewing financial assistance applicants for Maya's Hope.

Though this task may seem easy at first glance, conducting a thorough interview is a bit more complicated than asking candidates a few questions. Be ready to do all of the necessary due diligence!

The volunteer interviewer will work in a team to review the application, conduct the interview, clarify data, investigate, and assess the potential case.

Responsibilities:

• Understand the requirements and process of candidates selection;
• Plan and prepare for the interview;
• Research the applicant (review the application, applicant's FB page, video message, photos, etc.);
• Take and keep notes on the interviews;
• Assist in making an informed decision.

A perfect candidate needs to:

• have excellent communication and interpersonal skills;
• have good organizational skills and the ability to manage a variety of tasks;
• be objective;
• be ready to deal with a diverse range of people;
• be persistent, but lead a conversation, not an interrogation;
• be self-aware of judgments you place upon candidates;
• possess the ability to deal with information in a confidential manner and respond with sensitivity.

If you want to help Maya's Hope in selecting and prioritizing the cases but have doubts about your interview skills, fear not - those skills can be quickly learned and trained!
