Email From the Peace Corps Placement Office!

Kristofer,

I hope this email finds you well. I'm writing to you from the Peace Corps Placement Office in Washington, DC. We are busy reviewing and evaluating your Peace Corps application ... Please send me an updated resume ... How is your French progressing? ... Attached is a Skills Addendum form for you to please complete ...

At this time, I also want to let you know that the original program to which you were nominated has been filled. I want to assure you that programs are regularly filled, and applicants regularly reassigned to different groups from which they were nominated. There is nothing you did or did not do that resulted in you not being in this program, only that our programs fill due to many different factors and at different rates. When we further evaluate your file and consider your skills and the needs of Peace Corps countries, we will re-evaluate your nomination for suitability for service within another program, starting as early as April. That being said, the earlier you submit your documents as requested, the easier it is to further evaluate your file.

This information is not to disappoint or discourage you, but simply to let you know the current situation ...

Best,
