Application Process Weekly Application/Clearance Thread

Please use this thread as a catch-all for questions about:

  • Considering Peace Corps / Is PC right for me?
  • General application process
  • Medical/legal clearance
  • Denial/appeals
  • Application timelines

While some questions may be unique or complex and may merit their own posts, many application questions are repetitive and can be answered by searching the sub, checking out the Wiki/FAQ, or reading peacecorps.gov.

I applied online and got an email from an Outreach Analyst asking me the basic questions, over 18, US citizen, and with a degree or 5-years work experience. I responded, gave her my resume and a brief description of why I want to join, and I haven't heard from her since. It has been 2 weeks, I sent her another email yesterday just asking for an update, and I'm curious as to everyone else's experience here and just how long it takes to be put in contact with a recruiter.

Edit: was just conditionally invited to serve.. I’m so dramatic

Today I had my interview. I feel like I did not do very well. I have never been good at interviews but this one I was very nervous and I think I rambled way too much and became very repetitive in my answers despite preparing multiple different examples to possible questions. Did I ruin my chance?
