Any interview tips from those of you who have secured Positions?

My first interview was with Daegu and was a strict 30 minutes with 16 questions. I didn't do a great job at all since I was so nervous and worried about the time limit. The second interview used the same questions, but they didn't ask me all of them. It was also a 30 minute time limit. I was the last to interview for the position, and they told me ...See More
TravelingTeacher to Daegu
I might be too late to respond to your questions, but my interview was also a strict 30 minutes. I had a lot of questions to answer in that time. At the end they allowed extra time for my questions, but it seemed pretty strict in terms of the overall time alotted.

I would definitely ask HR. There are always ways to add later, but in order to get his travel paid, you might have to bump up the wedding. My husband will not be on my orders, from what I am told, because he is still active duty. Once he retires (just 2 months after the start of the school year), we will have to pay to fly him to Japan, then he can...See More

True, best to check with HR. Things are changing with the new firm offer step that wasn't there in years past. In theory, you should have some weeks after accepting an offer (assuming there is one) and could even submit an amendment to your orders before you travel. BUT, best to get current updated details from HR if the need arises.

I have heard of people doing it (as in one or two) but it is tricky. If you are in the commuting area already, then technically you would be a local hire and would not get housing, transportation, etc (unless it was offered as an incentive to take the base job).
I'm sure there are some other factors I'm not aware of. So, interesting idea ...See More

I would be careful with those types of jobs as many do not offer housing or other benefits. Also, the salaries are often inflated in the posting, sonyou could make even less. I know that many of our aides do not make as much as their job posting listed, for example. If you take a job in Europe, then try for a teaching job, you'd be considered a loc...See More

Emily that is awesome! Might I ask what your position will be and what certifications you have? I too would love to teach in Europe but seeing as I teach elementary and have only been teaching 5 years I'm concerned that the competition for a job in Germany may be high. I'm just wondering if you have any tips?!
EmilyG
Well, Laura, apparently being an SLP this year is helpful for getting hired in Germany. I don't know how many applicants there are in my field, because I ended up with 5 referrals in Germany. I've been active in the system for a few years, but just this year switched my availability to full-time, then suddenly was inundated with interviews- apparen...See More

Obviously that won't be my home after we move out. Do we get to change that? Like to my parents house nearby?
What if, during my time with DODEA, my parents move out of state...can we change the HOR?

I don't know the regs off the top of my head but I don't recall that anyone ever checked or asked us to see our driver's license as part of the process.

Although written for military members, this information appears to be consistent with how DoDEA responds.
Home of Record (HOR) is defined as the state where you first enlisted or from where you received a commission from one of the branches of armed services. HOR determines certain benefits, such as travel allowance back to your state whe...See More

hahaha: p 29 is the one my HR person sent me. Maybe you can answer my questions on it. When it says Duty Station is it referring to my current job? Both my rep and I were confused about this since it seemed like it meant military. She thought it meant the new job, but looking at it again, I'm thinking they want to know about this one --- whoops duh...See More

Yes, my understanding is that everything on that page would pertain to your current overseas position since you are trying to justify your case for LQA etc. by how/why you were recruited for that position.

Yes. It is very likely. Make sure you have your phone on you and charged and be prepared to answer it. :) Good luck.

Never heard anything about HIPPA and seems discriminatory to ask for a waiver. Unless they can do this to find out if you can't perform your job due to injury or have special medical needs that cannot be met due to location?
Happy Teacher
Euxpat - the latest chatter on the board is that the requirement, if challenged, has been corrected by some HR offices. Unless there is a specific reason for it (return from FMLA to determine return to work, etc), it is not ok to ask for it.
