Post: Applying for Next Next Year :)

Posted by Melissa Osborn on 4/26/08

    Hello from Sunny Florida!

    I have one more year before my husband (finally) graduates
    college, and our plan is to pack up and find a DOD
    position overseas. I've been to the website, I know the
    requirements, but I had a few questions that the site
    doesn't quite cover.

    How long does it take to process an application? Would it
    be foolish for me to apply now, knowing I cannot take a
    position until after next school year?

    How realistic is it that I will be hired? I don't have a
    master's, I will have 3 years under my belt, and I'm a
    darn good teacher. What's the competition really like? I
    teach high school English, Speech, and work with AVID.
    I'll be trained to teach AVID next year.

    How much control do you really have in regards to where
    you are stationed?

    My husband won't be teaching (he isn't College of Ed and
    doesn't meet their entry requirements, though he'd love to
    teach, too) and he'll be looking for work wherever he can
    get it. We're both really active, fun people.

    Any help, suggestions, or honest doses of reality are
    greatly appreciated!
    Melissa
