Waiting

[Islander03]

Hi Everyone,
I have a question regarding waiting times. I applied into the ROTP hoping to get accepted as an ACSO in November 2010. I completed the CFAT, the med. exam and the test specified for the ACSO position, all of which I performed fairly well in. They told me now all I have to do is wait from the board to see whether or not I get accepted a job offer.

My question is when will I hear from them? Is there normally a specific time when they phone people regarding job offers? Also, even if I don't get the position will they still phone me and inform me that I didn't get it?

If anyone can help with any information at all that would be great. I realize it is a long process and you have to be patient, but I'm so anxious as to whether or not I got it! I tried ciphering through the threads to make sure this hasn't been covered, if it has I apologize in advance.

Thanks!

The call will take as long as it needs to, I'd suggest calling back in 2 weeks, but even that could be too soon.

If you're not accepted they will call you to inform you, and they will probably offer you your 2nd occupation choice.

A good idea is to search the various forums, there's plenty of information you could have acquired from there first.

As lethalLemon suggested, if you had looked through the previous ROTP threads you would have easily seen that the bulk of the offers start going out in mid-March to April. However, some applicants do not find out until May, June, or later. Either way, you WILL get a call, offer or no offer.

Also, I know it's hard to wait for such life-changing news, just do things to take your mind off of it for now. You're most likely going to get a call within the next two months, which isn't too long in the grand scheme of things.
