I was out of town for a few days and just got back today. The very first thing I did was check my mail. I got two envelopes from the Peace Corps. The smaller of the two had my log-in information for the Peace Corps Toolkit, the online program where you can monitor your status, documents, required information, etc. The other envelope was a package of documents, including fingerprint charts, background check form, and about five different job descriptions with skills addenda that I have to fill out and mail in. I'm only interested in maybe one or two of the types of jobs and I think those are the ones that I'm best qualified for, anyway. The big envelope also had a letter in it, asking me to call the recruiter and set up an interview, so I'll be doing that this week.
On another note, I need to talk to my recommendation providers, since I'm still waiting on two of the three. I don't think it's a huge problem, though, as this last week was final exam week at my university, so they were both probably swamped.

Congratulations, dont let that packet overwhelm you! I just finished all of that stuff so if you have any questions let me know. -Tom
ReplyDeleteVery cool! The faster your return things the faster the process goes. You might even make your medical and dental appointments now (and cancel them if you aren't nominated). I bet if you aim for early July or late June that wouldn't be too soon assuming you have your interview in the next 1-2 weeks.
ReplyDeleteYou'll need the medical packet for the appointments--but I had to wait up to six weeks after I had my medical packet for the appointments!
Then again, from what I have read on blogs you simply NEVER know how long things will take. For me, the Peace Corps has been very quick to move me to the next stage.
Thanks for replying! Monica, I'm thinking about going ahead and doing that, but I'm wanting to look into going to a local VA hospital, too, since money's pretty tight right now. I've actually got some appointments coming up, but I doubt I'll have my packet by then.
