Here is the information you will need if you do not come in on a rotator. https://www.maff.go.jp/e/policies/ap_health/animal/index.html#a_3

Again, I know this is a late response. If you think at any time you might be willing to go to Japan, I suggest starting the process now and continuing to comply with the regulations so that when the time comes your dog will have already met the quarantine requirements. This is especially true if you are single and must live off base/post. Those liv...See More

Thanks haha! Openings for this position are a long shot but that hasn't stopped me from shooting my shot! Hoping there is a shift any an opportunity appears. This is the second year I've had my application in and I've receive one referral to date. Fingers crossed.

And unfortunately in the overseas areas where EDIS offered social work support, they have stopped providing it to DoDEA schools. However, they may be offering it through the medical side, outside of school.
I joined and now I can't find it when searching

I noticed the same. I had to submit another request to join.

There were actually two different FB groups. One has remained active and the other seems to not be active.

Yes. But it's more likely to that an AP would be hired from outside than a principal (in my knowledge and experience, but anything is possible).

@TeacherToAdmin, moving from the classroom to ISS or admin position is considered a promotion and is one way that people are able to move to new locations without a transfer round. I believe those positions are usually applied for through USA Jobs rather than EAS, so that is one reason that movements occur.

Interesting (and sad to hear). Maybe because they were being denied a promotion or lateral move, rather than initial employment with the federal gov't? Or simply confirms that everyone has/has heard their own story and so much (way too much) comes down to some individual's interpretation of policies/procedures.

Worst case scenario would be arriving in a location and having the school try to meet your child's needs only to be told that they cannot meet the needs and your child will need to attend a non-DoDEA school that could be in a different country paid at DoDEA's expense. Placing my child in a residential school, because the school where I work cannot ...See More

Thank you, both of you. I know it is small, like 200 students. I am just having a hard time deciding to hold out for an admin job or take a teaching job. I wanted a teaching job seven years ago with the DOD and now I am getting many invitations to interview. Hence my question to you earlier about mobility once hired as a teacher. What a crazy hirin...See More

@KMC moving from a teaching position to an admin position is a promotion, so even though the transfer round is not occurring, you could potentially move to another location through a promotion. Therefore, I would accept a position in Ankara (if I had not dependents) in a heart-beat.

Nope. It's your responsibility. However, Guam and PR may offer some relocation help, depending on where you live.
HelpOthers
@BlueSky. The relocation benefits are only for leaving the Continental USA. The housing benefits are only if you are recruited from the USA to live in a foreign country.

Good point @haha.

You can apply through EAS to foreign countries if stationed at Guam, just like if stationed in Puerto Rico or locations within the USA. You can also apply to locations within the USA. I think this is the only location within the USA/territories that also permitted transfer to foreign countries when there was a transfer round. If you attempt to acti...See More

@haha yes, I know I was surprised to hear the process from the Principal. It is very likely that one might not even be there when school begins due to HR and slow processing speed.

Turkey is a beautiful country with amazing history. Ankara is a very small school with children from the embassies in the area and you may find yourself with lots of different preps if at the middle/high school level. Its an amazing community. I am however, sad to see the changes in political climate since the 1970s-1990s. Stay safe and make local ...See More

Thanks for all the helpful advice. In response to a comment made earlier I am a bit naive in this process as I have only finished the application this past year and have already had tons of referrals. Your responses have helped me immensely. To that point, I assume candidates are ranked on certifications and years taught in that area or is there so...See More
HelpOthers
@Jazz, As for ranking, consider how you answered the questions within the application. Make sure you were being truthful, but consider adding the experiences if you were unable to confirm them. HR ranks the applications and it must be based on what was put in the application itself. Then, the interviewers can choose who they want from a referral li...See More
