I had my interview with CUSO on Monday and it went well. It was a relaxed set of questions many of which I had already read on their website or in the preliminary information I had received from CUSO.
There were three of us in the interview room. A Program Officer and a nice young woman who had just finished a placement in Tanzania. The questions were mixed with a good number of casual discussions about the types of things you encounter while on placement. I found out that I would be heading down with about 3 other applicants from the Maritimes and that I would have to find an apartment in Kingston when I get there (I could get one with the other guys etc.).
Now that CUSO has accepted me the Jamaican organization will review the materials from my interview and then everything should be set.
I looked online for an apartment and started to freak out at the price until I looked up the currency conversion.
1 Canadian Dollar = 31.89684 Jamaican Dollar
Looks like I have something to shoot a film about =D.
