Couple of Questions
From our experience: We were picked up at the airport by my husband's sponsor. You can get advanced pay, but it took weeks for ours to be in our account. No stocking of food. Can't imagine anyone here doing that, unless you asked your sponsor to pick you up a few things. You make your own arrangements for where you'll stay when you first get in, wh...See More

Teach
I am leaving DODEA, but it really isn't the system I have a problem with. I, however, realized, that I'd likely be "stuck" where I am for a long time thanks to the lack of a decent transfer round and there aren't many opportunities where we are to change up positions. Job opportunities for my husband were pitiful. I decided that 20 more years overs...See More

Sorry to hear that Teach. I was in a DODEA school where students were constantly tested. Thankfully I am now in a school where the administrator has common sense and is in touch with what students need. Unfortunately, I don't know how long this will go in since this person isn't really going along with what HQ requires. Sad.

I'll sit on my hands all week and keep checking my email and EAS.

Make sure you are also checking your junk folder. That is where I found my offer letter.

Thanks for all your help!
haha
It's not a terribly helpful answer but it varies wildly by person, areas of certification, time of year, year to year, etc. A month is not too atypical, it happens much faster and also takes much longer sometimes.
All you can really do is keep writing/calling, at least once a week. On the upside, you could (in theory) make a referral list ...See More

Keep calling! There are about 4 different HR people that answer when you call. Find the one that is the nicest :)

Agreed. If you receive any interview requests, just let them know you no longer want to go stateside and have updated your application.

UK and Japan are very difficult, with Japan being the most difficult due to quarantine requirements. Other locations are okay, but depending I. The size of your dog, he may need to travel in the plane's cargo hold, which can be stressful.

I started the process for Japan long before receiving an offer. I made a mistake- letting the rabies go more than one year, but we also had a second dog join our family and needed to complete the process for her anyway. Even with that, we only needed them to stay at the pet care center about a month, because most of the quarantine was complete befo...See More

I believe it is the other way around. Stateside maximum is 5 years (starting on step 5 as they start on step 0) and overseas maximum is 10 years (starting on step 11 as they start on step 1).

5 years maximum for stateside (step 5) and 10 years maximum for overseas (step 11) as Jane said.

I am curious on your opinions. I was a special ed teacher and para in mild/moderate and moderate/severe for about 7 years. I then got my masters for Reading Specialist and Dyslexia Therapy and this is my first year out of SPED. I have been working in an international school for a year as Literacy Coordinator/Reading Specialist/Coach...See More

Thank you guys so much for your input. I have decided to decline the interview as I am very passionate about reading and learning disabilities/learning support. I would want someone passionate about the moderate/severe role to accept the interview. Fingers crossed that this will not burn any bridges and they will consider me for future positions.

What are the chances both of us get job offers at the same time and place?
What happens if only one of us gets an offer?
Lastly, my wife was offered a position at Ft. Knox. Is it better to take anything just to get into the system, or wait for a position (we are already abroad on o...See More

No problem. People just get confused about things and trying to keep it straight in posters/readers minds.
So, I'm happy it worked out for you but I'm still curious how you managed to get the benefits if they were in fact just following the new policy. Was it because they had not informed you of it at the time you were hired?

haha... the letter of the law was that I should not be offered the benefits. When HR decided that I did not meet the requirements, I was told that I would be given an airplane ticket home and have my household goods shipped back. This was also after I had been teaching here for a month. The appeals had to go all the way up to Tom Brady. He was the ...See More

If you are certified in the area, I think you only need 1/2 the required credits, but check with HR.
