For those of you that took pets, how did you find out EXACTLY what paperwork you needed for your pet. I have read the DODEA info but want to make sure we have everything in order. HR Specialist wasn't really sure. For anyone who is in Germany, anything you can add about what to expect would be helpful. Thanks!
AngelaI found what I needed! There is a great link on DODEA's website to the USDA site which goes into detail as to what is needed to transport pets internationally.
Couple of QuestionsI think we just Googled for our info. We had to get our pet re-chipped as he had the old kind and otherwise, we would have had to purchase a scanner so his older one could be scanned (scanner was more expensive than just re-chipping).
HelpOthers@Angela, they are more thorough background checks than used by most employers. This is the federal government. I believe some positions had an even higher burden for a short window and during that time they took even longer. I think they are back to what is reasonable for people without access to confidential information.
HelpOthers@Stacyslp. Yes, I am in Japan. A different location, but have visited where you are going. I will look in the other threads for your e-mail address. I remember you posted it.
Hello All! My husband is a qualified applicant for DODEA. He has been sitting at qualified for three years. My question is does he need to have time in grade stateside before going to teach at a military base overseas? Thanks!
Having several areas to combine can be helpful for new hires and he has that. If he could add secondary SS that would be advantageous (which should only be 2 classes at worst, possibly one if he has state certification). He could also look at adding AVID which generally only takes a workshop to add for DoDEA.
My hope for this year is seriously starting to dwindle. I was contacted about an interview last week, but never heard back from them even after expressing interest. Not sure what to think about that. Maybe next year.
CmcI was notified of making referral list mid-June. Have not been contacted for an interview. I'm a local applicant, so I was hoping that I would have at least made it to the interview stage.
OK, for REAL asking for a friend. Does anyone know the policy on DODEA hiring staff with a misdemeanor DWAI traffic? Does she have any hope of eligibility? Thanks and sorry for the strange question, I promise I'm already an employee truly asking for a friend because I cant find anything online
educatormamaThere's a form that I just had to fill out that's sole purpose was to see if the candidate has any offenses that dealt with drugs or alcohol, so I'm guessing it's probably a big deal
Hi all, just curious as to how hard it is to find child care for young children when you move. I feel like after orders, the move happens quickly. Do they offer childcare on base if you live off base?
hahaOverseas bases will all have a CDC and it does not seem that people have any difficulty get their children in (in most cases). There will also generally be private care, local/military spouses offering care etc. (depending on your location).
I was able to put my phone on hold now that I am teaching in Europe and am now heading home on rat. I want to get AT&T phone. I know military stationed oversees can get their phone unlocked, but I don't know if this applies to dodea. Anyone had this done?
