I agree with what was said. At 24, I'm guessing you might be
looking for your first teaching job. The only brand new
teachers I've met in DoDDS have been hired locally. Everyone
they recruit from the U.S. has at least a few years of
experience. If you are stateside, you should look to take a
teaching job anywhere so you'll start building a resume.
