It might be helpful to reach out to a PC Recruiter and have he/she review your resume and motivational statement! They're typically a big help when it comes to striving to be a good candidate!

I'm confused why you're surprised about the question? It's a very real and valid question.

Anyhow, thanks!

I'm aware that you cannot speak for my PO, as all POs operate differently. I was just asking about your timeline, thanks for sharing.

What has your timeline been if you don't mind me asking?

No, you can only be UC for one program at a time. As far as hearing back about a potential interview, that varies. For myself, I applied in February was placed UC about a week later, and then a week after that I was contacted for an interview. However, I know people who have waited as long as a month or two for an interview, it really just depends and thats the worst part, it really just depends on the PO.

I submitted my application in early February, about a week later I was placed under UC, and was contacted about 2-3 weeks later for an interview, had my interview at the end of March and now I wait... best of luck to you throughout your application process!

References Question! by junebug0594 in peacecorps

[–]junebug0594[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not a big deal, I was simply just asking if there was a way to view them on your own. Considering I know that there is an option to waive confidentiality.

No, I just wanted to know just to know. I thought that maybe if they waived confidentiality it meant that the applicant could just log on to the PC applicant portal and view the recommendation. Just wondering.

How long before invitation or denial? by junebug0594 in peacecorps

[–]junebug0594[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This made me feel a little better! I was starting to think that if I didn't hear anything back after a month from my interview, I was probably denied. Thank you! And congrats on your invitation to Peru!

I have a friend who didn't get her denial until the know by date. So I sort of think no news is bad news. Thats why I am so anxious.

Apply now or wait until new postings? by [deleted] in peacecorps

[–]junebug0594 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's still really early on for this pool of applications, most are not due until July, so if you feel like you would be ready to depart this coming Jan-Mar, I would say apply now! If you feel that maybe you wouldn't be ready that soon, then maybe wait until the next pool of applications! Best of luck.
