I received another email, "Your file is being passed on to the placement specialist for further review. You can expect to hear from our office again in the coming weeks." I’m such a dork that I googled what ‘in the coming weeks’ means. The email also encouraged me to continue gaining skills so I started volunteering at the AIDS Resource Center and I became certified in Blood Borne Pathogens training. Apparently a symptom of RAS (Restless Applicant Syndrome) is obtaining all kinds of certifications to be a more competitive applicant. Peace Corps is probably some conspiracy agency created by Red Cross and TEFL programs to get people to buy their online training programs. Just kidding, really (please review the disclaimer at the top of my page)! But seriously, I have it bad. I’m talking, reading, dreaming, breathing Peace Corps! The other day, my friend Melanie and I acted out how close that invitation is. Imagine us searching through a ‘tunnel’ and then trying to ‘grasp’ that invitation that is just out of reach. Yeah, we’re embarrassing, we know. I also updated my resume again and sent it to placement. At this point they have three different updated resumes from me and will probably block me soon. Sorry that I’m such a competitive candidate.
