If I take the ENI and let them know now will I be able to be rehired in the future? Many people have told me signing an ...See More

Somewhere in the DoDEA OPM Bible (Office of Personnel Management), I read that any incentive pay had to be paid back to the government if you re-hired within a certain time frame. I recommend NOT taking the incentive pay package and wait for the RIF Notification Letters to drop. That is what the teachers did at my school. Many of our teachers thoug...See More

All DoDEA experience would count. Advance yourself several steps.
But, why didn't you just ask your current Admin? Or didn't they know?

Apparently, you would start on the first Step, unless you had experience as an admin (or related experience that they would accept) AND had not already used that experience for salary/step credit.

I'm thinking about possibly reactivating my application for the 25/26 school year. I had a question about references. I have three already listed and filled out from about 8 years ago. My understanding is that these are just a part of the application, and if I was to actually get an offer, I would need to provide three current r...See More
haha
Is there a date associated with the references that a principal might see? If so, you might want to update them. If not, it's tough to say. You may want to go ahead and update them. You never know what might or might not appeal to or appall a prospective hiring principal. But it's also probably not a deal breaker one way or the other (unless HR tel...See More

Update your references.
Smart Principals want current references and will sometimes check them in advance of the interview, or in advance of making the final pick.
There days Principals are more likely to follow the HR script and timeline, but some still go off reservation.
Is there an upside to keeping out of date refere...See More

Well haha, you were right, they didn't want to give me LQA and paying what landlords wanted was just going to be too much of a dent to the pocketbook (they seemed to know exactly how much LQA was because the cheaper yearly rents were exactly what I would have gotten) and had to decline. I guess I'll keep my ear to the ground to see if they change t...See More
haha
This is one of those instances where I would have been happy to be wrong for you. Yes, they have gotten pretty hard core about the conditions needed to award LQA etc. But, you never know what the future might hold. And like you said, if you ever wind up back in the states you can always reapply for DoDEA.

I have an interview for a kindergarten teacher in Germany. So, I am curious what the pay would be for a Master's degree plus 18 and 7 years of experience. I was also curious about the COLA and whether there are any standard interview questions. Any help is much appreciated.

No specific information about either of those countries. We used to be in Europe and the situation changed every few years, although there was generally a way to work around most restrictions. Try googling and/or asking questions of the consulates.
What is the point of doing both? I asked my current, and most recent, supervisors to fill out the referral in the EAS system (which they did), to then have almost every interviewer reach out and want 2-3 references before they will schedule an interview. I have an ok job but would rather my supervisor not know I'm looking, or possibly leaving, unti...See More
haha
I hear you. It's the gov't though, so redundancy is kind of their thing. The ones for EAS are like the price of admission/the minimum bar to get over. The next set I believe are different, more detailed maybe? Maybe, maybe not. I guess I should just refer you to my previous answer.
As for not wanting your current boss to know that you are ...See More

There's something I recommend you consider doing that I did a couple of years ago that caused me to get WAY more referrals over the past 2 years and I've actually had about 5 principals contact me directly this past year asking if I would like to interview. (Note: I've had to turn down all of them due to needing to be here in the states for an elde...See More

It's time to get a Masters degree.
A person is not really competitive in DoDEA without a Masters degree.
Not everyone has one. But if you want to be competitive, then get one.

No problem. You can put in/update an application on EAS at any time. Sooner is usually better so that you can work through any bugs and/or supply any further information that they might require.

Please also be very mindful of the healthcare situation where you may end up. Things have gotten a lot worse for civilians in many areas overseas, and it's unnerving feeling like you can't get quality emergency care if needed, at a minimum, let alone ongoing specialist care.

I'm filling out the DD1616 and it asks for my "actual residence at time of appointment (to be determined at time of initial agreement)." And since this is not my initial appointment, I am putting the residence when I first was hired. The form also asks for last PDS location. The notes below on the form say that I will be eligible for return travel ...See More

I argued back and forth with CHRA on my HOR. My HOR is Fairbanks Ak, but I could not get back there with my car during the pandemic. Not wishing to leave my vehicle behind in the Lower 48 and fly, I took a teaching position in the extremely remote Colville National Forest US Forest School. It was 5 hours (one way) to the nearest military or even sm...See More

Let's unpack this a little, shall we.
It sounds like your ultimate goal is to continue your employment with DoDEA in another location. Is this correct?
There are a number of ways of achieving this goal, one of which you outline in your OP.
One negative about your plan is your uncertainty over the ENI an...See More
