Questions this interviewer is likely to ask, with a tip for each. Practise out loud: it really helps.
Keep your introduction under two minutes. Focus specifically on any past work involving quantitative data collection, especially in rural or hard-to-reach areas like Pibor, to show you understand the local context.
Mention specific techniques like stratified random sampling to capture different sub-counties (Verteth, Lekuangole, etc.) and ensure inclusion of women and youth, as these are key target groups for the ICSP project.
Discuss practical measures such as using digital tools (e.g., ODK/KoboToolbox) for real-time data entry, conducting spot checks by supervisors, and providing clear training to enumerators to minimize errors.
Show you have a realistic plan. Mention coordinating with local authorities, having a clear security protocol, and building buffer time into your schedule to account for potential travel delays or access issues.
Use the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result). Choose an example where you remained flexible, communicated clearly with the community, and still managed to collect valid data despite the obstacle.
Connect your answer to Oxfam’s mission of fighting inequality and ending poverty. Mention your interest in climate resilience and food security in South Sudan to show you are motivated by the project’s impact, not just the job.
