RE: USAID position.

BIG TIP:  if you make the first cut and they ask for a phone interview, READ
THE USAID WEB SITE ON JUSTICE AND HUMAN RIGHTS.  All the stuff they want you
to say is on that site and available on the web.  You don't have to live by
it once you get here, but it really helps to know what they are looking for.

There is also a job on the USAID/Honduras running the housing projects.  I am
doing that right now and would be happy to speak to people about this one as
well.
