ollyboy009: Congratulations now that you are through to this stage. It says a lot about you to have made it this far. Now make it count. This stage is as competitive as the application stage and you need to give it you best. Follow these tips to improve your chance of making it through:- 1. Master your essays Your interview will be based on your application. You need to prove that you wrote it yourself and that you are passionate about the leadership mission you outlined. Ensure you articulate how you expect the YALI Mandela Washington Fellowship to help you on your path to achieving your mission. Go through the objectives of the YALI initiative and ensure your link your personal motives with the overall goal of the program. 2.Show that the fellowship will make a difference for your work The panelists will like to know why you want to go on the fellowship after all there are many similar opportunities online and within your country to advance your mission. You must therefore state clearly how going on the fellowship will make a difference in helping you achieve your mission. Ensure you articulate the value you bring on the program- to your country, your host institution, your host community and the cohort you join. 3. Espouse the principles of servant leadership Your responses should show that you are a true servant leader-not one who is out for himself alone. How do you intend to ensure that others benefit from you going on the fellowship? How are you currently organizing your work to benefit others in your community? If you are not consumed with passion about serving the weak in your community, you cannot be a Mandela Washington Fellow. 4. Show interview etiquette Dress like a leader. Ensure you maintain eye contact and hand shake firmly. Take your seat only when offered and be polite. Master the names of the panelists-better you write them down when they introduce themselves and refer to them by their first names through your conversations. Show confidence through your voice-project and sit up on your seat. When leaving say thank you with a smile and a slight bow and gently close the door behind you. Stay smiling all through. 5. Engage and be engaging Maintain the conversation. Be a pleasure to talk with and ensure you ask at least an intelligent question especially as the interview draws to an end. Note that your panelists will be experts in your track and your questions can serve to show the value you will bring on the study part of the fellowship . The greatest leaders are those who ask the most thought provoking questions and who are humble enough to seek answers from others. I look forward to welcoming you as a Mandela Washington Fellow. Godspeed! Guys, I got that from a blog and I hope it helps. Kindly wish me luck too. I'm yet to receive an invite. 6 Likes |

My interview is slated for January 23 in Abuja. Anybody doing same? Let's put heads together and blow them away! And for those who have done their interviews, kindly assist with what to expect. |

Firebomb: When did you get your invite? |
Re: 2018 MWF - YALI by Firebomb: 8:42pm On Jan 13, 2018 |
AkunnaTochi: About 3 days ago. I think they are inviting people in batches, because a friend who applied under the Civic Leadership track got his mail before me. His interview is on January 16, while mine is for Public Management and it is on the 23rd. What track did you apply under? |
Re: 2018 MWF - YALI by Nobody: 9:33pm On Jan 13, 2018 |
Firebomb: Civic leadership. |

Re: 2018 MWF - YALI by merleek: 5:01pm On Feb 16, 2018 |
Hello guys, so I was invited for the MWF interview for January 23, 2018 in Jos. However, I went there but they didn’t show up. The hotel receptionist told me they made reservation but didn’t show up. I emailed them but they didn’t reply. And I heard rumors that US govt shutdown affected the embassy. Has anyone experienced such, especially those in Jos ? |
Re: 2018 MWF - YALI by Firebomb: 6:28pm On Feb 16, 2018 |
merleek: So sorry about this Merleek. I was scheduled to interview on January 23 in Abuja. However, on the January 22, I was texted by the US Embassy notifying me of a reschedule due to the US government shutdown. I eventually had my interview on January 30. Have you tried calling their number? In the mail which was sent, a US Embassy line was provided. Check it and dial. I hope you find further answers. Even if they decided not to go ahead with interviews in Jos, I think that invited semifinalists deserve to be informed. It demonstrates lack of courtesy. |
