i met someone who went to Ukraine. \n  he told me that it was hard, but rewarding. \n     there was a man that he didn't get along with, but he was tough. \nps. you have to be a US citizen to do PeaceCorps.

It would be a good idea to read the application and follow the directions they give you. They will TELL you what question they want you to answer in your paragraph. I suggest you mention things that are not covered elsewhere in the application.

Don't worry it is not unsual to take longer. Depends a lot on the place where you are applying from. If there are many applications it may take longer then expected. What I reccomend you to do is keep calling them and ask them questions. I'm sure it will be fine at the end ...

You should just go back to the places you put your applications in and check with them, who knows, they may still need someone. Good Luck.

Six?  My friend... try SIXTY applications before you expect any kind of response.  Follow-up with those applications within three business days to be sure they received it and to let them know you are interested.  Try to make 20 contacts per day... it won't take long to make a 100 contacts in your first week.  Keep the numbers strong and your quality of resumes high... you'll get the job you want.

It probably depends on your area and how busy the hiring manager is.  I believe my brother's experience was about 3 weeks?  One thing that might accellerate the process is if you contact them and just let them know that you are still interested in the position if it has not been filled.  Make sure you talk to the hiring manager and introduce yourself.  Then, when they are going through the applications, and your name looks familiar, you stand a better chance of getting called in if you left a good impression.\n\nGood luck!

It's your call, but if 400 words says everything you want to say, don't spoil it by adding fluff.\n\nI know a Scotsman who recently got the post of head of a theological college in the USA.  Part of the written application was an essay-type question "What do you think is . . ." and I hear that most of the applicants wrote reams.  He wrote two words that said it all.  He got the job, and the others didn't.

I think you stand a good chance, but you can never be sure until you actually apply.\n\nGood luck!

I'll start by saying Thanks for the service!\n\nCheck with the school you want to go to and ask them.  They want students and that is a stron incentive for them to know the tricks to get different kinds of funding.  Though, be prepared for long waits on the phone.

I'm not in the field, but a suggestion I'd offer to you would be to call up the admissions office for a school you're interested in and explain your situation and ask what it is they'd look for in an applicant. They'll know what they want, and then you can try to put something together to submit to them.
