Anything is possible, but I've only heard/read about local hires (not necessarily just NTE's) being eligible for conversion to permanent status after 8 months (but two years seems more typical in reality).
The bigger/more relevant question for you should probably be why you are not on the local hire list for those positions. Have you doubl...See More

Softbank has an unlimited data plan and when in the US you can call and receive calls from Japan for free, but also call US numbers while in the US and use data on Spring network. YMobile has plans for children and young adults (up to 23rd birthday).

Question 1: Immediately
Question 2: Why would you assume the EAS will be locked? Where did that idea come from?
Many people resign, and immediately re-apply. It happens all the time.
There's nothing negative, or punitive in either the resignations, or the desire to re-apply. Think local hire spouse, whose sponsoring spou...See More

You can't call. You have to email them. Try the email listed on the EAS site.

Wow. Email only. No more phone calls. How distant and anonymous is that. We're one step away from dealing with HR through an AI app. How dehumanizing.

Is it Friday, you do have a few points that ring true. I have a Master's in Education, and an active social teaching license (national board certified). I also teach social studies in both languages in Japan. While your right about working and accumulating experience in America being a plus, I have been accumulating published peer reviewed papers o...See More

Stop!
You're making me laugh. I almost spilled my miso soup on my laptop.
Yes, yes. I'm convinced. You're very qualified. But, you do understand that I'm not HR, right? No one at HR is listening. You're just shouting in an echo chamber.
HR uses an algorithm to make decisions.

You could call or email the principal, introduce yourself, and express your desire to interview. Or you could wait and see if you get an interview.
haha
It can definitely be an intense rollercoaster ride of emotions. Do your best to keep your hopes and fears at bay and keep expectations to a minimum (hope for the best but prepare for the worst).
Contacting the principal is always a bit of a wild card (e.g. slight chance of doing some good, slight chance of doing some harm, greatest chance ...See More

I completely agree with haha. There seem to be several vacancies popping up in Pac East based on the announcements being made for internal moves, so don't give up for those still looking. Even if someone internal takes it, they will likely leave a vacancy/backfill position that needs to be filled. It seems like lately it has been taking new hires 2...See More

Well, yes, but everyone's chances of getting hired by DoDEA are low (1000's/10,000's of applicants for 100's of open positions every year).
Your chances might be a little lower when you are limiting yourself/hoping for a particular country (but then again Korea is not really a highly sought after location by many/most people). The fact tha...See More

Yes, based on what you've shared, your chances of getting hired are low.
It's not uncommon for career track new hires to have 5+, or even 10+ years of experience.
Likewise with Master's Degrees, multiple certifications, and veteran's preference. All of these are fairly common among applicants.

I am not sure exactly what the Compact includes. I just know a teacher leaving Kwaj just received LQA. I know this might not be true for me, but it has happened. The position is elementary technology. I am currently a principal in a small town and it seems like 98% of the population thinks that this whole COVID situation is a hoax. We are going int...See More

No real insights for you. It does sound like a nice change of well, everything, should you be needing one. Good luck and hang in there with whatever you decide.

Please don't shoot the messenger.
When I read your response objectively, I don't see anything that supports the notion that HR should abandon the rules and convert you.
