A resume should be of two pages where you can highlight academic and professional experience in a well formatted manner. You can apply design tools for making them more attractive.

If you are applying for a position posted in USA Jobs (like ISS) the resume could be 6+ pages long. Review information there about applying to USA Federal jobs. Unlike the private sector, scans for keywords are done and there needs to be mention in the resume of each of the required skills from the job description, etc. The resume is used to determ...See More

I think you are considered a local hire when you produce orders to be in the area.

I was a local applicant that was qualified on a referral list OCONUS and the lei principal hired a CONUS candidate and I didn't even get called for an interview so it could go either way it seems.

Hmmmm. Most announcements were internal hires.

True, yet the only announcement I've seen has been for a principal position stateside. I'm assuming that the internal hires were already in the pool that was formed at the beginning of the school year.

Many specialists in Japan are supposed to meet virtually across the district every week, but some principals are still confused and mandate in school collaboration on certain weeks. I would like to see the confusion go away.
haha
Apparently there is no in school collaboration for the rest of the year (for secondary at least). For SPED, it's virtual FC with our SPED counterparts every 3rd Tuesday and joining a virtual FC for a core subject on all of the other Tuesdays. :S :(

Exactly what icanread said. I got referrals and an interview the first year I uploaded, but then nothing for a few years. I reuploaded because of a name change then all of a sudden, a lot of referrals. Several people seem to have the same experience, so I always encourage everyone to reupload. It doesn't hurt to do it.

However, if you used spousal/family member preference, you can only use it once per location.

I have a question regarding salary. I am a sped teacher in California with 15 years experience. I am on the last column of my salary schedule and wondering if I would be taking a huge pay cut if I decide to take a job with the DoD. I saw on another post that DoD europe will give 10 years experience. Is the salary taxed and are LQA ...See More

NP. Unless it is federal experience, generally the max credit is 10 years (and everyone starts at Step 1) so you would start at 11.

Those I know from CA occasionally complain that DoDEA has not financially helped them. They are happy because they like the location but state they would have been better off financially to remain in CA. If you have kids going to college in the future, realize that most of us no longer qualify for in-state tuition. Most states don't give us the mil...See More

Before my interviews, I wrote down the questions that were listed above and wrote out some notes to help me stay focused.
HelpOthers
During the interview write/type their entire question. Often each question has multiple parts that need to be answered. Make sure to answer each part.

The size of the place doesn't matter, just the cost. We live in a five bedroom enormous home and it's just me and my husband. Even then, we're well below our LQA.
HelpOthers
LQA is based on family size and your position (education level). Go to the website so see the approved amount in your location. You will be reimbursed up to this amount with receipts showing you spent it (exchange rates are averaged, so you may pay more than you are reimbursed). If you can find a house you like off base that has all the rooms you w...See More
