1. A job you like.
I’ve found an interesting job as technical in the American Refugee Committee International (ARC). The ARC programs are built from the ground up and work with people at the most vulnerable points in their lives, when they have lost everything to war or disaster.
This job is a ARC's program in the refugee camps in Darfur to ensure the prevention, early detection and resolution of public health problems and the provision of adequate health care, water, sanitation, shelter and other infrastructure for the new and existing displaced refugee population in the camps.
The job is only for six months and the education, technical skills and knowledge required are the degree in Development, International Relations, Management or Social Work and a minimum of experience in humanitarian work.
Others key behaviors and abilities are the strong inter-personal communication skills and effective and persuasive writing and public speaking.
It’s necessary fluency in English and the previous work experience in Africa is preferred.

2. A job you don't like.
I have found a lot of jobs that I don’t would like to do. They are jobs in comercial companies and they need people with University Degree or equivalent, one to two years Experience in Planning, Supply Chain Processes, Logistics, Distribution or Customer Service. I don’t have this qualification, but the functions neither like: improve forecast accuracy through the forecast meetings, participate in company task forces and/or project work when required, provide creative solutions to Product Supply issues or the ability to analyze data from the following systems/programs.

3. Job applications.
I have found a interesting site: “Learning to forecast the trap questions in a job interview”. This web says that, at the beginning of the interview, there is a first trap question: it’s an empty question where the interviewer wants to see your reaction in these seconds of indecision. Then you must show you convincing and precise in a short time. You must show you neither out of order nor boring in your answer.
