They were pretty clear that they would have decisions around end of November. Last year there were some issues regarding appointments higher up that they wanted to make before they made offers, and some of the later offers were because people didn't accept. They were fairly adamant that they would make decisions by end of this month.veneboy wrote:I feel like this year it's going to take longer because there are only 4 positions open. I still can't believe they interview 40 candidates! Just so you know, i felt like my interview went horribly. So that should leave only 39 people still in the running. Lol. Also, doesn't make much sense to interview candidates with so many different interviewers. Not very standardized.

I wonder as well.. I didn't think there would be that many people left that they are trying to decide between, but who knows? I hope we hear soon. The waiting is killing me.Anonymous User wrote:Also yes. I wonder how many total.

Re: DOT Honors Hiring for 2019
Is it safe to assume that if we didn't get a request for additional writing sample or any communication by now, we didn't get it? I am guessing they were going to send offers before thanksgiving.

I normally get 2-3 scams calls a day but have gotten ZERO today and it's freaking me out. I'm like one panic attack away from calling myself from a work phone to make sure my cell isn't broken.Anonymous User wrote:I'm going to lose my mind if I get another scam call today.

Re: DOT Honors Hiring for 2019
What if the lucky four have already been called and just haven't posted about it on TLS? Has anybody recently inquired about a decision timeframe?

Honestly, that’s what I assume the case to be.. I haven’t asked or heard about a timeframe since before getting the writing sample requestAnonymous User wrote:What if the lucky four have already been called and just haven't posted about it on TLS?

Re: DOT Honors Hiring for 2019
So.. What are the chances that at least three of us were contacted for an additional writing sample and not one of us was selected? I feel like they probably didn't ask that many people for another writing sample. Maybe they just haven't made a decision yet? Is anyone considering calling/emailing for an update? I want to, but I'm too scared.

My friend in the DOT applicant pool just picked up a spot in another honors program, so our chances are a tiny bit better...
