While we're asking about confirmations - anyone who is interviewing at the Louis Stokes VA (Cleveland VA) and requested a phone interview: have you heard back? Their message said to respond by 12/10, and we're about a week out from that and I haven't heard a peep...

Same
 
How do people typically structure their answers to the common interview opener "tell me about yourself"....I have received conflicting advice (e.g., talk about your goals, talk about your personal interests etc...). Thanks!

The question is tell me about yourself, not tell me about your professional goals. This is not one to overthink.
 
Update: Finally received my rejection for Mendota Mental Health. I emailed them and they said they sent my rejection last week..but I never got it. Same thing happened with my classmate.

Interview Invite:
Haymount Institute (North Carolina)!!!!

Has anybody heard from the following?
University of Washington, Tacoma
Central Texas Internship in Clinical and Forensic Psychology

These notifications were supposedly due by 12/15….. 12/16… has anybody emailed them?

I also applied to the Central Texas Internship of Clinical and Forensic Psychology. I contacted them today, but have not heard back thus far. Hopefully we will in the near future; it sounds like a great site!

I also contacted the supervisor today, so it seemed like he might have gotten several emails. Hopefully he'll get back to us soon!
 
I just received an invite on a day that I already have a higher ranked interview that I do not want to reschedule (geographically and because I like the already scheduled one more and wouldn't want to relate that I have a better one to go to). I know people have said that sites understand conflicts in travel next month, but how do you say it nicely to site B if you already have an interview at site A on the same date?

I first said "I was wondering if there is any possibility to schedule my interview on another date or if there is the option for a phone/skype interview. My travel plans conflict with "x date" but if there are no other interview dates available, I can try to coordinate with my other sites."

I received a reply from Citrus Heath Network last week. Generic email stating I was on the "wait list" and may receive an invite in the near future.

I'm glad they have a wait list! I just gave up my interview spot due to scheduling conflicts. I hope you're called!

What invitations have you received?

I have my first interview Thursday with Corizon Behavioral Health at Wabash Valley Correctional Facility and I feel completely unprepared... Just really nervous I guess!

I friend in my cohort was offered an interview there at the end of last week.
 
I cannot explain how good it feels not to be going through this process again. What a dreadful process.
 
Generic email rejection from NYU/Bellevue - Child Track. Shocking, since their interview date was two weeks ago.

Had my first interview today. My interviewer enthusiastically stated, "You're a really strong applicant."
What came out of my mouth: "Oh, thank you so much! I really appreciate that."
What my prefrontal cortex prevented from coming out: "Yeah? You think so? Then rank me highly, biotch!"

You should have told the interviewer what a bad ass you are.
 
After emailing the TD at the Superior Court of DC Child Guidance Clinic today, they provided me with my rejection. After their lack of concern and organization about meeting the deadline, I'm glad not to go there! Happy to finally be done waiting!

That's horrible. They know what a stressful process this is!
 
Is someone still waiting for Woodhull?

What about
South Florida Evaluation and Treatment Center
Citrus Health Network
?

Yeah, I kind of wish I'd sent them a rejection email first instead of the kind prompt for a response that I actually sent.

Dear Training Director:
I regret to inform you that I've reached the maximum amount of interviews that I can possibly attend in January without losing my mind and breaking the bank. I am sorry to inform you that your tardiness in responding to my application has led me to need to reject any possible forthcoming offers of interviews. I hope that next year you will be able to meet your self-appointed deadlines in a timely manner, but your current inability to do so has caused me to question your capabilities to provide me with a quality training experience.

I think the same thing might be happening to my friend.

Yeah it sucks in a way. Citrus was not being flexible at all. And I guess they don't have to be since there are more applicants than positions in general 🙁 I'm just thankful for those that have been flexible or offer more than 3 dates to pick from. Sites should stagger dates based on location or something! I'm pretty sure most sites had the 13th and 15th of January as options
 
I am thinking about emailing VA Beach, but I'm pretty sure that will result in a rejection email. haha

I called yesterday and wasn't able to get much information. It sounded like the decisions were made but they were waiting on them to be emailed by someone?
 
Rejection from Kane County Diagnostic Center received yesterday via snail mail. Three more sites left to hear from:

AZ Training Consortium
Will County Health Department
American Addiction Centers / The Academy and Singer Island Recovery
 
Invitation for Lackland Airforce Base in San Antonio, TX notified by phone to schedule an interview (phone). Dates are Dec 18, 19, 23, & 30

I sent them an email last night too.
Did they answer you?
 
To those of you also waiting for Youth Opportunity Center...are they really going to wait until January 1 to notify?!?!
 
Has anyone received an invite from Mt. Sinai Adolescent Health Center and/or know when they are holding interviews?

Oh my dear Staying Mindful friend,

I haven't heard a peep either. I have TWO I am still waiting on and it is slowly making me lose Christmas cheer. I thought I saw somebody post about a rejection from them last week, and I know the other tracks now have extended notification dates, so I guess we shall wait. Have you attempted to email the TD?
 
Staying mindful is a bit of a misnomer - unless you count being mindful to nothing other than my email account.
I've been trying to hold off on emailing TDs unless it seems like several others have been notified already. I'm waiting on two, too!
 
Still waiting on two too! I have had one onsite interview and one phone interview. I thought both went well but I don't know what they think....lol happy holidays! I'll post as soon as I hear from the two I am waiting on.
 
Oddest email rejection from Trinitas Regional Medical Center this morning. After stating that they weren't able to interview me because they had so many applicants, I get this:

"Due to the high standards of your resume, credentials, and application, I hope that you will consider applying for a position at our hospital perhaps after you have finished your internship program or some other time during your career."

Really? I mean, REALLY? Did anyone else get this message?
