Status on librarian application

[Terence]

I applied to be a Goodreads Librarian about a week ago and have had no notification since. I know that there is no notification if I am not accepted, but I wanted to ask if there is anyone that will be able to see if I am still pending evaluation?

[Emily]

No, sorry. It could take a week or it could take months. None of us in the group has any special insight. If you have questions about your application you will have to contact Support.

[Terence]

Ok, cool. thanks Emily. At least I know. :)

You can check yourself by trying to apply again. If you can't, your application is still pending. If you can, your previous application was rejected.

One week is a very short time though. Applications used to take about two weeks to be handled, but lately months seems to be more likely.

Thanks. The application page implied a few days, but thanks for the insight of the longer wait period.

I just applied as well and I got an 80% on the quiz. It did say it would take a few days. I just wish they would update it to say that the application process can take anywhere from 7-90 days, just to give us a heads up of how long we should wait. It seems rather misleading to say it only takes a few days when in reality, it could take anywhere from a week to 3 months.

Hopefully the (sometimes) months long application process can be shortened now when the quiz scores do the first step of filtering the applicants.

What questionnaire should be done? I applied for months and I'm still waiting for an answer

Follow the "volunteers" link in this group's header.

FYI before there was a questionnaire, applicants would only receive an answer if they were approved.

Which is still the case. As I mentioned in the announcement, the new quiz supplements the previous process, rather than replacing it.
