Finally, the long-awaiting Fulbright 2010 announcement of Shortlisted Candidates is OUT today!!!

This year, they don’t reveal how many candidates passed app form/document screening stage and are qualified as shortlisted candidates.

Based on my guess, I believe there are around 25-30 people in this year’s shortlisted pool. Cos from the below email I got this afternoon, I am in the Sat, Sep 12 interview pool with other 4 people.

So I guess the interview period is during week of Sep 7 with 5 candidates per pool/day => 6 days x 5 candidates = 30 shortlisted OR maybe Fri, Sep 11 there will be interview cos of the nature and history of this tragic event at World Trade Center.

Anyway, wish myself all the best and hope this year, I can make it and realize my dream!!! Hope this  Sep 12 interview will be perfect birthday gift for me

Always susu sasa! Good luck to me and everyone! Hope this time, it’s really my time!

JDS 2010 is now OPEN, but NOT for everyone!, originally uploaded by វ័ណថារិទ្ធ.

Finally it’s OPEN, but NOT for everyone, ONLY for government officials

<Remarks for JDS Cambodia 2010>
From Japanese Fiscal Year 2009, it was decided that the open recruitment of candidates is NOT implemented. Instead, only the applications from those who are officially nominated by responsible organizations (so called, “Nominate Organization”) are accepted to the program.
Therefore, applications from those who are NOT officially nominated by the designated Nominate Organizations will NOT be accepted.
This system applies for all applicants, Public Servant and Private Sector, so the application is accepted as long as the applicants are officially nominated.
