This is the latest communication we recieved from the placement desk:
Hello Mark and Susan,
I am writing to let you know that the post I was considering you for unfortunately did not feel that your skill sets were a good fit for their programmatic availability. This means we will not be moving forward with the interview process. Please keep in mind that this is in no way indicative of your skill sets, but rather the site availability in that post. I will return your applications to your appropriate Skill Desk, in your case the Agriculture and Environment Desk, where your Placement Specialist will work to find a new program that matches up with your skill sets and backgrounds. Please keep in mind that couples placement can take a bit longer because we want to ensure that both of you have viable projects. You have already been qualified for Placement, though, so it is my hope that we will be able to identify a new program as soon as possible. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns and I thank you for your patience.
The placement officer told us that if the post mentioned above did not work out, she would be saving a spot for us with a departure date in late September. So... we will continue to study Spanish, create check off lists of things to take care of before we leave, spend quality time with family and friends, and enjoy this beautiful Spring weather!
Owww!
ReplyDeleteYour timeline almost matches mine up until the invite offer you received in February, but preferred to delay. I received my invitation when your resumes were sent for another review, so I understand some of your feelings after having waited a year to get this far.
Best wishes to both of you.
