Interview Process

I was thinking it might be interesting for others to know how we are interviewing 220 women entrepreneurs. We have divided the list of women so that 60 are being seen each day. Thirty in the morning and 30 in the afternoon. There are 4 of us who are meeting with them. In the morning session, which begins at 8 at the Mission of Hope school, the women are met by a Greeter, at the gate to the school, who shows them where to congregate until they are interviewed. The interviewers and the Greeter each have a master list of the women. When I am done with my interview, I take her to the Greeter, who escorts her to Lex Edme who is Haiitan and Founder of MOH who then does a second interview of that woman. The Greeter then gives me the next woman on the list and I take her with my interpreter to a stone walled classroom. The two other interviewers do the same thing in their respective classroom. While we are meeting with the women, those not yet interviewed congregate in shaded areas around the school or yesterday when it was raining they all piled into a large box truck. Once the 30 have been seen, the interviewers meet together and we discuss our sessions to see what we can do to improve our time with the women. By then it is noon, we have lunch and then begin again at 1. We will do this until noon on Thursday.
