IsItFriday?Yes, there is a reason. The systems put in place by HR don't work as advertised.
Many people, (most people in my unscientific survey) did not receive a notifcation this year. Many elements of the hiring system are hit and miss. Fingers crossed that individually, we remain one of the lucky ones.
The right certifications/combinations of...See MoreI would say that certifications are much more valuable than endorsements. Endorsements have some value and may help you to stand out/rise above other candidates should you make a referral interview list but you never (or rarely. to be conservative) see endorsements required for a specific position.
The right certifications/combinations of certifications on the other hand, are generally required to even be considered for a position and to show up on a referral list. If an endorsement is cheap/easy to add or would be of benefit in your current situation it might be worth doing but in general you will be better off investing the time and money in adding a certification area (at least as far as DoDEA is concerned).
Meeting some endorsement requirements for DoDEA might be useful in some cases (as opposed to adding a state endorsement): AP, some career/tech areas and maybe Autism for SPED teachers.
somedayI sent a Facebook message to admin, also. Does someone have twitter and/or Instagram? If so send a message please so t h e site is working correctly soon. The link is at bottom of page.
Thank you to all who contribute. It has been extremely helpful. However, I have run into a problem. Where exactly do I upload supporting documents for new target jobs? I have tried to attach my class descriptions PDF via the attachments section on EAs with no luck. I press upload attachment and it does not show up. My transcripts and license were uploaded no problem.
HelpOthersUpload all your transcripts as one file if they will fit, but if after reducing, they are still too large, use multiple files. Label all of the transcript and course descriptions as transcripts in the drop down.
BubbleHeadI uploaded a 17 Mb course catalog. I had lots of problems though trying to upload documents. I would upload something but when I went to check them is was a different document. I actually logged myself out and back in and tried it again and it worked. PFM.
Just a word to the wise. Occasionally check your documents to verify they are still there. I waited 8 weeks for a re-evaluation and when she went to check my transcripts they were no longer attached even though they were still listed under the document list. Ill probably have to wait another 8 weeks now.
HelpOthersThere was one SLP on here for a while. She was only with DoDEA a short time, I believe. I also am not an SLP, but work with them and will help if I can.
My husband is going on a work trip to Illesheim at the end of the month. It's my spring break and it looks like I may be able to go with him. What are the chances of me visiting a school, talking to a principal and inquiring about future vacancies?
It's impossible to predict how any principal will re...See MoreAnything's possible. That is also DoDEA's Spring break so there may or may not be admin around at that time. Also, you would need to have/get access to base. The closest schools would likely be at Ansbach which is part of that complex and there are other bases within a couple hour drive.
It's impossible to predict how any principal will react. If you really want to try then visit some school websites and send out some emails.
Due to an expired certificate for the website? I couldn't post on chrome or edge the last 2 days and finally tried good old Internet Explorer which actually worked (good thing too. I was going through withdrawals).
HelpOthersI was able to post two days ago, but not yesterday, for the same reason again. I thought it was odd that it was fixed and then a problem again.
