Daughter graduated in Dec with a degree in International Marketing and a minor in Non-Profit Leadership. She applied for a job with the Peace Corps and just went through the initial interview process which was a pretty grueling 1.5 hours.
The question I have is if anyone has knowledge of how long the next steps take. I have heard anywhere from 1 month to a year but it's all second-hand info. Any experience or knowledge is greatly appreciated
There are obviously many types of assignments and definitely encourage her to go for it if that's what she wants.

She is being interviewed more for field office work. Advertising, community relations etc..
I don't blame you for passing on that
Excellent advice thanks
No, but she says she wants to.
The job is in Columbia (she's fluent in Spanish and has done two embedding internships in Ecuador and D.R.) but they told her the S. American countries are some of the more desired ones so she said she was open for other places. Solomon Islands would be a great assignment
I admit it's been a while since I last was in any kind of interview I would consider grueling, but that one lasted a day and a half.

Well, it's her second interview since graduating and she was nervous because she really wants this. They do it over skype and the whole theory is to get the prospect out of any comfort zone and see how they react to questions outside of the norm. They have multiple people giving it.
It's great experience for her but I can understand how it was also tough seeing as she has such little experience
What I have been hearing as I gather more info is that Employees view the PC as a big feather in the cap because they know you are put into situations and experiences most kids in their 20's will never have.
Best of luck to your son
That is what I am starting to hear
