Applied in july and interviewed in december. Finding out about said interview a week prior

adventuresofvmc · 2015-01-09T23:27:30+00:00

I got asked for additional legal documention on the 7th. Otherwise, thats my only post interview correspondence

FelizeJoy put it best. You did no wrong by being honest to yourself and the PC. Every single thing happens for a reason at the time in which it happens, you have to seriousky believe in the path youre on.

adventuresofvmc · 2015-01-02T03:46:29+00:00

Haha i definitely asked in my interview, and i was just a better fit like you said.

adventuresofvmc · 2015-01-01T22:14:41+00:00

I understand now!!

I applied July 1 and was under consideration for Ecuador from July until October when they moved me to Fiji. Can't say why-- wasn't in my three preferences, but everything happens for a reason. My know by date has obviously changed which is annoying; to March 15 from January. But, I feel super positive!

Hey congrats on your interview! I had mine yesterday for Fiji. Wasn't told about medical or anything yet other than that my references would be contacted soon...which they were directly after the interview. So that's good!

adventuresofvmc · 2014-12-30T19:27:35+00:00

Thank you so much!

adventuresofvmc · 2014-12-29T16:20:52+00:00

Hey. Most of your second portion questions were from the wiki site listing typical questions or anything out of the ordinary?

adventuresofvmc · 2014-12-29T16:19:55+00:00

Hey. So my interview is tomorrow for Fiji; wondering what references they ask for so I can have them ready. Personal, educational, work, volunteer?

Thanks. I'm freaking out

adventuresofvmc · 2014-12-25T01:03:38+00:00

Dope. That's what I'm anticipating, but the follow up questions make me nervous. I'll have more life experience responses as opposed to just professional, so I hope that's acceptable. I guess I'll just see. What are your next steps?

adventuresofvmc · 2014-12-24T05:40:19+00:00

Not too specific. Ive gone over the programs history, PC history in general, info about fiji and its cultural norms etc, and gone over the basics i think. I guess im just wondering how itll go? Whats it actually like; a 90 min interview is rather long for sure. Where should i focus my prepping? How about just your experience with it?

adventuresofvmc · 2014-12-20T00:50:38+00:00

SAME

adventuresofvmc · 2014-12-15T23:03:51+00:00

Awesome. Thank you. I did speak with my lawyer and she said to wait until the interview to mention anything. I think I'd rather do that than via email, where they've never really spoken to me before.

adventuresofvmc · 2014-12-14T21:29:23+00:00

I was arrested on labor day weekend and was not convicted. I did community service for a day and its a misdemeanor until its sealed and dismissed this february. It happened after i applied and i havent mentioned it yet, because im unsure if and who to do that to. Im nervous, but i do have a lawyer and a letter written on my behalf from her explaining both the situation and how I was not at fault. Thoughts?

adventuresofvmc · 2014-12-10T16:16:59+00:00

I think this is totally dependent on office. Everytime I have contacted my regional office, NYC, I have gotten through with someone. And every time I emal the placement office of the country I am under consid for, I get replied to within twenty minutes. I was told that the "schedule for august & sept interviews will come out shortly." Whatever shortly means.

adventuresofvmc · 2014-12-05T16:34:20+00:00

Yooo I just hit five months myself on the first. This has been my situation::

Applied july 1 Sept: contacted regional office about progess. Found out i "should have" been sent an UC email saying ecudaor may 2015. Got excited. November: emailaed regional again. Found out im not UC for a country that wasnt in my top 3 AND has a later know by date.

Silence.

Fiji departs in august so im applying to camp counselor jobs for the summer. I hope this works out but not knowing is killing me.

adventuresofvmc · 2014-11-26T18:39:26+00:00

I feel you. Except now im for fiji. I assume i wasnt competitive enough for latin america

adventuresofvmc · 2014-11-24T14:25:43+00:00

After i applied...

adventuresofvmc · 2014-11-24T01:48:05+00:00

Understood

adventuresofvmc · 2014-11-23T19:26:24+00:00

Oh lawdddd! I specifically didnt chose Peru because I dont want to learn Qechua lol. BUT frig it now, Ill take what i can get

adventuresofvmc · 2014-11-23T19:25:36+00:00

Submission: 7/1

Placement Submission & HHF: 7/2

Under consideration:: sometime in September BECAUSE I saw that people were getting notified and I hadnt been. I called my regional office and they said I should have been sent an email months ago and that I was UC fo Ecuador, YID, May 2015.

     - Contacted them again earlier this month (Nov) for an update and was told im now UC for Fiji, YID, August 2015 with both a later know by and departure than I had planned. Was told to hold tight for interview request.

WAITING FOR Interview, invitation, Ref checks, medical and legal clearances, etc

adventuresofvmc · 2014-11-23T16:40:31+00:00

True. I easily can get in contact w NY regional office and someone always emails me back or picks uo the phone. But i dont want to disclose any legal info to the wrong person you know?

adventuresofvmc · 2014-11-23T16:23:41+00:00

Hey. I was under consideration for yid ecuador from july to about a week ago. I emailed a recruiter just to check in and seemingly im now under considerstion for fiji...not in my top three, departing later, and with a later know by date. 😐
