DODD Teachers Chatboard

Jennifer P great advice on the license...she will be old enough to get a permit next fall, so if I don't get hired first year applying (which seems typical) she may have that taken care of before we would leave hopefully

and @haha, yes, it actually does make me feel better. I guess with just seeing mainly the experiences on this site it's sometimes h...See More

Space A

by Svdb

Jul 22, 2018

Do DODEA teachers qualify to use Space A travel once we are overseas? If so, can the whole family use it? What if a spouse was travelling without the actual teacher?

HelpOthers We do qualify for Space A, but are very far down the list of availability, so traveling this way during peak season is rare. Also, we can only use it overseas. Once we hit US soil, we are on our own.

SLP in Ikego

by JDodd

Jul 12, 2018

I interviewed for an SLP position in Japan and have not had follow up (approx 3 weeks ago). It is my first choice location, but I am trying to make decisions about other interviews. Does anyone know if this position has been filled? TIY

HelpOthers Just the general number. If you let them know you interviewed for a position more than 3 weeks ago and are calling to find out if it has been filled yet, sometimes they will tell you. Sometimes they will even act oddly, telling you that someone may get back to you soon. Sometimes this means, the person chosen has not agreed yet; sometimes it means ...See More

southernteach I agree with Mary. It depends on who you talk to and the situation. I have called and they wouldn't tell me anything and then I have called and they would. I called about two weeks after my interview and the lady said could I hold. Then I waited for 20 minutes. I hadn't told them any info like my name yet. I call back and a different person said th...See More

Drivers license Germany

by southernteach

Jul 21, 2018

So I have been researching online and found some info about certain states in the USA having full reciprocity with Germany. My state is one of them. It says you can go to your local Fuhrerscheinstelle and apply with documentation. Has anyone been through this process? Thoughts?

someday You are going to be there under the SOFA agreement so I don't think that will work. You have to get the USAEUR license for driving in Germany and also carry a valid state license.

southernteach Just figured that out. Got it.

Account Locked

by HopefulTeacher

Jul 20, 2018

Have any of you experienced being locked out of your account? I did receive an email about 2 openings and if I was interested, I could go in and change my target locations. I didn't make any changes, but see that my account is locked. :(

HelpOthers Usually when it is locked, this means HR is reviewing your file to potentially offer you a position. If you have not interviewed, you may want to call HR to find out what is happening.

HopefulTeacher I haven't interviewed. I'll call Monday morning. :)

Jul 19, 2018

Hey! Does anyone know if there is a Chatboard for DDESS?

Thanks!

(2)

haha Don't know of one but the DoDDS FB page seems to cover DoDEA Americas and DoDEA overseas. You should ask to join if you haven't already.

Jul 20, 2018

HelpOthers DDESS is part of DoD schools, so just chat with us here. You can also look into the Facebook pages, but they are only for people with a connection (current employee, past employee and those who have been offered a position).

Yokosuka?

by Thankinghim

Jul 20, 2018

Anyone here in that area now or in the past? I would live to know things that you wish you packed from the states or things you could of left when packing. I have a large family and trinhg to downsize. Just trying not to bring extra crap but that seems Inevitable

HelpOthers Join their Facebook pages. You can use the search tool to find questions and answers already provided and can ask new questions there.

Waiting after the Interview

by GordonFamJam

May 21, 2018

Sorry to bother but I'm in need of some advice/encouragement/dose of reality, or some anecdotes. My wife had an interview about 2 1/2 weeks ago for a position in Yokosuka. The AP stated at the end of the interview that it could take 2-3 weeks for HR to notify the person who will be getting the tentative offer. Friday will be 3 weeks. However, I am ...See More

HeART Teacher Ugh, sorry. Sometimes the site freezes up.

Jul 19, 2018

world2go That information was perfect! Thanks! We're starting the process on her today. Glad to get a little bit of a jump on it while we're still here.

Jul 20, 2018

Do your travel orders come via E-Mail? I looked at the calendar today and tried not to panic-- I've basically scheduled myself to leave the first week of August (2 1/2 weeks away?!), because that's when my school would like me to be there, but I still don't have orders yet. By scheduled myself to leave, I mean... I will have driven across several s...See More

Application scoring

by Sara

Jul 16, 2018

So how does the application scoring go? Could one part of your application, like your references, keep you from getting hired? Also, just talked to HR and they are no longer hiring for the 18/19 school year.

Just Me I sure hope not! Still holding hope!

Mandy I spoke with HR today in Virginia, and they are still filling positions for 2018-19. Also, I know that there is HR in Peachtree City, GA for the southern region of DoDEA America's. I worked with them the last time I was hired with DoDEA for fort Campbell.
