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.
Obviously it will take time ...See More

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.

Also always bearing in mind that you can and possibly will be asked to teach anything on/covered by your certificate, which can change from year to year or even more suddenly, depending on student needs, admin vision/preferences, etc.

No, you are not simply venting. (It's ok to vent.)
You are correct. It is bad form.
And it is arrogant. There is no thought given that they may be wasting your time. There is no thought given to the idea that you are a stakeholder in this process, and that you may actually say no, and turn down the position.

Sorry. Long time since I'd been on here and I forgot about the commenting glitch.
haha
Anything is possible, but it seems that very few DoDEA teachers are NBCT (at least anecdotally, I have never seen any stats on it).
Then again, anything that you can do to stand out or try to separate yourself from the pack can't hurt (especially if you've a mind to do it anyway, it pays more in your state, etc.).

They way they currently state it- the candidate must be living in the USA for at least one year AND during the application process through to the final offer in order to qualify for LQA.
IsItFriday?
Sounds like we're all in agreement.
The candidate must be in the States from the beginning to the end of the hiring process.
Anything else puts the candidate of the risk of HR's ever-changing interpretation of the rules, and also at risk of a future re-evaluation of the hiring paperwork. And there is nothing that anyone can say on...See More

I have a frriend who is a DoDEA principal and I emailed him the other day asking about this type of stuff. His response was that with some administrators, they will specifically exclude anyone who contacted them from interviews/consideration to avoid any accusation of favoritism or getting an advantage over others. My friend says that he has no pro...See More

I'd like to tag on to this question - can you postpone dependent travel if the family is in the US? I also have HS age children and may be in a similar situation. How does this affect your LQA? Thanks!
haha
Not an expert and/or have not done this personally. But, in general, yes you should be able to postpone dependent travel up to a certain time limit (vague on exactly what that limit is).
LQA is based on the number of dependents residing at post, so it may have some impact in that you sometimes need to add or take off dependents but it is g...See More
