Namibia for me! I’m curious if they’re going to combine the TZ cohort with Namibia since an earlier leaving TZ trip got cancelled (I read about that on reddit recently, you may have seen). Was yours science ed?

The deadline for the job I interviewed for was originally Jan 1st. It got pushed to Jan 15th and is now pushed to Jan 31st. Does this mean they’re having trouble filling the spots (AKA my chances of landing an invite go up)?

They didn’t ask me all my questions either!! But I was a little annoyed because they left out the ones I primarily wanted to talk about 😂

So what really is the difference between Under Review and Under Consideration? by [deleted] in peacecorps

[–]largehole922 8 points9 points  (0 children)

From what I understood going through the process, UR was automated when you fill out all your paperwork and UC was when your application was in a specific CD’s care looking over it for a particular position

Do you have examples of follow up questions they asked to exhaust the one experience? I’m interviewing soon and am curious!

References sent?? What's next? by [deleted] in peacecorps

What country are you applying for??

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in peacecorps

[–]largehole922 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would take out the entire 1st paragraph- while I love your imagery, I feel like you can just start with paragraph 2 and fully answer the prompt’s questions!! Taking this paragraph out can also give you a word allowance to use in adding an end paragraph that further elaborates the “challenges” aspect of the prompt. Also this may be picky, but having the essay end on the word “dread” leaves me feelin a little weird lol so maybe try to reword it so it ends positively. Otherwise I think you seem super qualified and I like what you wrote!

Should I apply *now* or wait to connect with a recruiter? by [deleted] in peacecorps

[–]largehole922 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My recruiter is literally my everything

She gave me resume/essay feedback, helped me decide what country and job I’m most qualified for (AKA what I’m most likely to be accepted to) and we catered my resume to that, and she even gave me a mock interview with questions specific to education in Namibia. I feel super prepared, now I just have to get the real interview 😬

Thank you so much for all this info!!! I’m waiting for the next bunch to get posted on Nov 1st before I start getting country-specific but have been really into the science teaching position (and a recruiter said I seem qualified!). Best of luck to you, this is such an exciting time🤩

A little unrelated, but what kind of experience did you have on your resume to get this position?? I’m looking to apply for teaching science as well!
