After attending several recruiting events, I completed an online application. I was then contacted by a regional recruiter, who I interviewed with in person. The recruiter helped me to determine what type of volunteer I should be given my education and background, and approved my application for placement. I then waited several weeks to hear from PCHQ--I received my invitation a month before I departed.

I heard back around one month after I submitted my application and there was one single interview before I was offered the position. I was interviewed by someone who was a peace corps volunteer maybe 10 years ago, they served in a different region of the world than I applied to, so I didn't connect to them much. They offered me the position a few days later and gave me only a few days to decide whether to take the position or not.
