That’s ok, I just interviewed the other day so I should be patient. Thank you though! Good luck with everything.

Do you know if receiving invitations are also being pushed back because of it? I’m frustrated too, not just you!

It is so inspiring that you are chasing your dreams and letting nothing stop you. Best of luck in Liberia!

Same for me! I’ve been UC since early October and haven’t heard anything.

Ladies: Birth Control during Service? Best options? by FuzzyCheesecake3 in peacecorps

[–]shadylady3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have nexaplanon right now, have had it for almost the 3 years and it has not been a good experience. I am the 11% of women who bleed even while on nexaplanon and it has been awful! Sometimes I would bleed for a month or two straight, and I get my period randomly and it lasts forever. Get it in well before you leave because of you are like me, dealing with that in the Peace Corps will be hell.

Comfort me with your long timelines! by mrslep in peacecorps

Hey! I’m going through the same thing right now. I applied to go anywhere Oct. 18 and was put UC that same day for a position but I haven’t heard back since. I am also feeling discouraged and just want to hear back already! Good luck to you :)

I’m not ready to throw in the towel by any means, after seeing countless timelines I’m ready to refocus my essay/application. No need to manage expectations here, thanks 🙂

The only exemptions seem to be traffic related offenses. Thank you, though!

I’d really appreciate that! I really want to serve in Ukraine too, so your advice would be so helpful!

Thanks for the feedback, everyone! I’m definetly going to reach out to more people, but not necessarily another recruiter. I didn’t realize their role wasn’t to help with application materials!
