I also received an e-mail, but when I click on the application portal no information about the host site appears? Is anyone else having this issue?
Click to expand...
I am having the same problem. The host site is also not listed in the email nor is the topic. I've emailed the [email protected] address. I'd call the office, but I'm assuming the office personnel have left for the day.
 
lol disregard that last post. Everything updated. I've matched to work in Frankfort, KY on Tuberculosis Prevent!

Hi everyone! I got matched to LA for tuberculosis prevention. I'm super excited but I'm currently located in the Bay Area and just signed a lease here, which probably wasn't the wisest decision. Does anyone know if PHAP will be remote this year? If possible, I'd like to stay in the Bay and work remotely for at least a little bit.

Also, for any previous/current PHAPers who worked on TB prevention - what did your work look like, and did you like it?

I work in anchorage now! I probably know who you are going to be working with!
 
I wish we could take the location of others or swap. I don’t mind San Antonio but I would love anything in Southern California due to my husband having a job and my kids being around family.

Hey guys! I am a longtime lurker from Atlanta, GA. Based on my portal, I seem to have been matched to Columbia, SC in Emergency/Disaster Preparedness and Response.

Has anyone else’s status changed from “ready for interview” to “matching” this evening? Unfortunately nothing has changed for me and I’m curious to know if statuses are still changing this late in the day?

I used to live 10 minutes from Jackson, if you have any questions about the area feel free to ask!
 
Just curious for the people who already got matches, when did you interview? My interview was May 11th and my portal still says ready for interview.
 
Do you think maybe they’re sending out responses based on which state you’re serving? I see a lot of Georgia assignments.

I was thinking the same since I didn't see anyone say they were matched with states up north. But who knows at this point lol.

Yes, it appears that everyone who reported to see the "confirmation matching" change on their portal starting Thursday morning did receive a match location by Friday afternoon. The following users including myself have reported that we saw the change in our portal Thursday, thereafter received our location and field match:
  • marissanicole
  • futurebright
  • nessmon
  • zcrock
  • Chacko32
  • GoodDays21
  • Imperfect
  • gomezs0400
I don't believe you should fret. It appears that they have not assigned the northern states and other regions yet. I am sure they will continue releasing in batches.

Yes! I saw the "confirmation matching" on Wednesday and received my match Friday afternoon. I will say that when I first got my email that it had no location/topic information. It took another hour for all the info to show up. I was matched to Kentucky.
