Word of mouth is a great way to spread the passion that the Canadian Red Cross spreads across the country and the world. Your interviewer is curious if you have any experience in talking with someone who has donated their time or has been employed there, to hopefully get the sense that their mission and culture fit with exactly what you are looking for in a new position. There is no right or wrong answer to this question, so be honest. If you have talked with others who have been involved there, discuss the important things that you learned from them that led you to apply. If you haven't, just ensure that you reiterate the homework you have done on the Canadian Red Cross.

"Yes, a good friend from college is currently a case management supervisor here in British Columbia and she has had nothing but amazing things to say about the Canadian Red Cross. The most impactful thing we talked about a few months ago was her experience in leading activities to bring hope and salvation to people and families who are facing the most difficult times of their lives. We discussed the skills and personality characteristics that are needed to thrive in a role like this, and I feel confident that I would be a passionate ambassador for the Canadian Red Cross."
