Today there was an unfamiliar number calling my phone and I had a little heart attack of excitement... and it was a solicitor. Le sigh.

Same here...haha I have been having trouble with my cable so I had to call Time Warner a few times this week and they called me like 3 times today for a survey...haha torture.

Another Heme/Onc here, then 2nd was 5W (Communicable diseases).

Holding out for the call! I'm half hoping it will come tomorrow (since it's conveniently my day off).

Anyone hear anything yet from anyone or receive a call? :)

My friend with the sisters on the Hem/Onc unit said she spoke to them and they said something about they only take like 40 people and tend to take people with several years of experience. I kinda have to question that because one of the Versant conditions is less than a years experience at start date. So, with that said, still no call here, nor have any of my old classmates who have applied heard anything :/ Keeping a positive attitude, the 31st is still a ways off...

Still the same status here, but keeping up the faith. About the years of experience condition it was pretty clear on the requirements. Maybe theyre giving priority for those that have applied for positions but not related to the versant program, the ones with experience, and then we would be filling the remaining vacancy.Just thinking randomly........improvising some ideas of what is going on "behind the phone" that doesnt ring :S

Calls for interviews should be next week. So have your phones handy and stuck to you that week.

Good luck all.

Yeah I agree because I feel like that's the whole point behind new grad programs is that we need them basically to get jobs anymore as opposed to someone who has any kind of experience. So hopefully we all get calls soon...keeping my fingers crossed for everyone!

Btw how did you find out they will be next week? Cause in the packet it says if we don't hear by Oct. 31st we can deduce we didn't get an interview..?

I have applied to so many of these. Calls for interviews start to go out next week, on Halloween (interview dates to be scheduled during the call). Some departments may take a little longer. Stick with it. After a certain period (depending on which department), if one does not receive a call, feel free to deduce, no interview.

Thank you so much for the information! I have applied to a ton of these also but none in this time frame before so this is good to know. Thanks I appreciate it! :)
