Hey guys,
I'm applying to be a hospital volunteer at my university, and the process has been pretty rigorous so far. It has included an application with essays and two LoR's, and it will eventually require tons of health screenings, drug tests, background tests, and TB tests if all goes well. I haven't had luck in landing a volunteer position yet because of poor application timing or not having recommenders ready, so this time I'm really working to pull this off and nail it down.
Upon receipt of my second LoR, the department immediately called me to schedule an interview which I'm super psyched for, but there was an issue in scheduling. Initially, she set up a time on 9/1, but I have my first day of class at the precise time she suggested... :/ It was really bad luck, but I offered to schedule it earlier in the week or at the next, earliest availability, and she ended up scheduling me for an interview on 9/7.
Does all of the rescheduling hurt my chances with getting a position? Did my rejection of the first time put the department off of me volunteering so they put me a week later? The site says they're conducting volunteer interviews from the end of August through 9/23... I'm just worried spots will fill up by the time I'm interviewed.
Sorry if I'm neurotically ranting. I'm just really eager to start getting real exposure and don't want to miss out over a silly mistake gah!
