She Empowers!
Collaboratively creating an inclusive water and sanitation sector.
The Women in Water & Sanitation Network (WWSN) is dedicated to addressing gender imbalances in the traditionally male-dominated water and sanitation sector. Through advocacy, mentorship, and networking, WWSN drives positive change and fosters gender equality.
Promoting Gender Balance for Success
Gender-balanced workplaces enhance creativity, innovation, and overall success. By embracing gender diversity, organizations can leverage diverse perspectives—crucial for tackling complex challenges in water and sanitation.
Expanding Networking Opportunities
Professional networking often occurs within the boundaries of organizations, which can limit opportunities for women to connect with mentors and peers. WWSN provides a platform for women to build meaningful connections, share experiences, and support each other.
Mentorship for Empowerment
Mentorship programs are a powerful tool for closing the gender gap in leadership roles.
Gender equality and mentorship are critical to fostering diversity and closing the gender gap in the water and sanitation sector. WWSN plays a vital role in empowering female professionals to realize their potential, paving the way for a more equitable and successful industry.
WWSN Online Workshop: Careers – Mastering Job Interviews
Have you ever been invited to an interview and wondered how to truly stand out?
Do you find it challenging to present your experience with confidence and clarity when it matters most?
You are not alone. Even highly experienced professionals can find interviews daunting. That’s why we invite you to join our next WWSN Workshop—a supportive and informal space to build confidence, strengthen your interview skills, and connect with women across our global network.
📅 9 April 2026

What to expect
This interactive workshop will focus on practical strategies to help you prepare for and succeed in job interviews.
We are especially pleased to welcome our guest expert, Eliana Harrigan, who will guide us through key interview techniques and the art of storytelling for impactful and authentic self-presentation.
Together, we will explore how to structure your responses, communicate your skills and experience with confidence, and align your story with the role you are applying for.
Through short inputs, breakout discussions, and practical exercises, participants will reflect on their professional journeys, practice answering common interview questions, and exchange ideas and peer feedback in small groups.
We will also share tips on how to handle challenging questions, make a strong first impression, and convey your unique value with clarity and purpose.
By the end of the session, you will have practical tools, new perspectives, and greater confidence to approach interviews with clarity and authenticity.
While we cannot promise job offers, we hope to provide useful strategies, fresh insights, and a supportive space—and perhaps help you find a “partner in crime” to practice and prepare together!
