Final Reference Contacted! Hurray!

August 26, 2014; S/P Application Day 59:

Today I was CC'd on an email from my PC recruiter to my final reference. Hurray! Once I get confirmation that he's sent in a letter of recommendation, then all of our application elements will be completed. After this, there's nothing to do except wait and hope to hear from placement.

Last Reference Figured Out

August 20, 2014; S/P Application Day 53:

I still hadn't heard back from the PC about my final reference, so I decided go to our recruiter's Community Drop In Hours at the same local coffee shop we had our interview. I'm really glad I went. I was able to meet with our recruiter and have a nice chat with her. It turns out she's been away at a conference all last week, so my request to have the final reference email resent had gotten lost in the scuffle, Our recruiter said she'll send it out again for me, and that it's not a big deal that it's been delayed since Placement probably wouldn't have gotten around to reviewing our applications yet anyway.  I also got to meet a few people in the area who are interested in applying to the Peace Corps, and had a nice smoothie while we chatted. All in all, not a bad way to spend an afternoon,.

PC *still* hasn't contacted my volunteer reference

Still no word from The PC regarding my final letter of reference. Today I called the PC recruiting office and left a message on the Northeast Regional Recruiting Center's answering machine. We'll see if that helps?
