Members don't see this ad.

My friend wanted to know how long do sites take to confirm interview dates?
She was asked to submit her top 3 choices and has not heard back. This was on Tuesday

It can take some time to hear back from applicants and coordinate their preferences. I would wait until Monday to follow up.

Same 🥲

 

[everythingisfine]

Anyone else getting slammed with rejections? I know rejections are part of the process but it is still disheartening. I felt like I only applied to places where I met their requirements and where I felt I would be a very good fit.

I'm in the same boat. Not sure what to think.

 

[eedermor1]

I did and have not heard anything

Will you keep me posted through the forum pls? I will do the same. Kind of holding onto the last hope that it isn't curtains.

 

[eedermor1]

Yep I think I got like 5... but I applied to 23 sites. Just a bit paranoid...

Is the training worth it for corrections?

[psychresearcher16]

I'm in the same boat. Not sure what to think.

I was set on thinking that I would be rejected so I'm going to assume it's a typo. Seems like there's been a lot of typos in the google doc.

 

[littleCPsyD]

Did anyone hear from the Neuro track at Denver Health? I’m stupidly holding out hope b/c I don’t see it on the spreadsheet lol

I had a post doc warn me about the “string of no’s”. Apparently everyone gets it😂😂 you’ll break the string soon!!

I've been threatened in outpatient work FAR more than I've ever been threatened in locked inpatient units, including enhanced security behavior units. Not prison settings, so YMMV.

That is what I thought as well.

Just sent a similar response in PM. I feel safer in my current setting than I do at Walmart tbh.

Are you in corrections or prison?

sorry, they did send out invites a few hours ago :/

 

[prisonpsych2020]

Corrections = prison…? I mean, some BOP sites include pretrial detainees and committed patients…but yeah, prison.

 

[surviving2021]

I mean correctional facility - state facility vs a BOP/federal prison

Aren’t they structured differently and I am just completely confused lol

 

[surviving2021]

Are people planning on taking the 15th off (if you are at practicum or school) since it seems to be a big notification day?

In some ways, but there are far more similarities across prisons (state and federal) than differences. Speciality institutions, such as detention centers and medical centers within the BOP, have many unique attributes and missions. IME, these types of institutions are still run like and are treated like prisons within the agency.

Could I also get some info from you?

Mine too!!!! lol so I’m just going to turn my phone on do not disturb and make sure I have 0 access to email.

Good luck to everyone that has an interview on the 15th. Seems like it is a very important interview day!

Any advice if I should possibly take the day off from practicum. I am unable to be near my phone while I’m at practicum.

What would make you want to take the day off? I feel like if anything it’d be better to go to practicum to have a distraction instead of sitting around staring at your email

 

[ughhhhPhD]

Hi all!! I had a quick question- does anyone have the handbook for Mass. Mental Health Center/Harvard @ Beth Israel Medical Center? I had it at one time but can't seem to find it now. Thank you!!!

 

[PsychedForThisToBeOver]

Has anyone actually received an invitation from the Ohio Psychology Internship? I feel like the excel isn’t accurate.

Same.

My friend is considering adding a site- park center inc…. Anyone applying there? You can pm if want to stay private.

 

[justtrynasurvive]

If a site (University of Nevada at Reno) has sent out a mass rejection email recently and I didn't get anything yet, is it safe to assume I will receive an interview offer?

 

[tiredphdcounselingstudent]

Yes, I think so. It happened to me twice and they both ended up inviting me to interview. Good luck and always assume the positive because you are a rock star !

 

[hhhzzzaaa]

Can you clarify? Do you mean take the day off because you'll be receiving interview or rejection emails during the workday?

 

[surviving2021]

Yes to possibly schedule interviews

I don't recall seeing one for MMHC? I thought it was just what they listed on their website?

[twistytie1]

Has anyone heard from the Virginia Treatment Center for Children? Their notification deadline has passed and I haven't heard. Based on the spreadsheet, people have gotten spam-like notifications from them?
