Hi, long time lurker here finally with something pressing (to me at least) to post about.
I've read a lot on ToS recently, and after a seemingly positive discussion with [email protected] about a couple concerns I sent in my application. That was almost a month ago, and of course, now that I have applied, I'm extremely excited to begin the path of formal ToS Initiation to augment my solo Work.
However, I haven't heard a word about setting up my interview. I've emailed three times in the last three weeks to at least verify receipt of my app (from two different email accounts in case one is going to junk) and each email has gone unanswered. I can only assume that I've said something so untoward in my application that he won't acknowledge my existence (seems unlikely), OR the Executive Director sometimes goes weeks and weeks at a time without checking the PO box or monitoring the email account (also seems unlikely for a nationally prominent organization, albeit one staffed by volunteers).
So, I hope that a Setian can possibly confirm that the ED is on an extended absence or suggest another reason for my experience? I hate to be a "problem child" but I am extremely eager to begin working with the Temple. I feel that if I were clearly an unsuitable candidate I would have received an out and out rejection already. Balanone's old FAQ says it can take six weeks to process an application but he notes you can confirm reciept of your app with the ED by a quick email, and the ED himself told me he would watch closely for my application and quickly set up an interview once it was received? I sent a money order for dues, so it's not immediately apparent whether or not the check was cashed yet.
I would not be so concerned except that the ED was so quick to answer my initial emails. Any advice would be appreciated, feel free to PM me if more appropriate. Thank you!
