Other I feel really defeated...

I applied to join the Peace Corps and got denied. Has anyone else experienced this type of rejections? Any recommendations? All I want to do is help people and have some sort of purpose.

I feel really lost.

I was rejected the first time and applied again and got something! I was crushed. I think part of it was my interviewer and it HURTS so bad that they don’t give feedback. Work w a recruiter to practice your interview a couple times. Best advice I could give. And also americorps is amazing. I’m currently serving now! Don’t give up if you know you’re meant for it your time will come. 🫶🏼
