haha Virtually all interviews are by phone. In fact I'm not really sure how an in person interview would work. Odds are that you would be interviewing with someone other than the prospective principal which can't be a good idea for you (unless somehow that principal were in the states at a city near you).

They used to do a job fair like event i...See More

Happy Teacher To clarify - whether you receive LQA off base or if you are allowed to live ON base at an overseas location, you're given "one free rent" as my husband calls it. You don't receive compensation above the exact cost.
