Oh okay, I will control my anxiety while I wait. Thanks for the replies.

Wow, Bondo! That is a really long time to wait. I guess I will just sit tight and be patient :)

Hi infinit! I got moved into a new apartment September 2016 and got an offer from DDESS in October 2017. I spoke to the land lord and told her that I needed to break my lease because of a government job offer. I forfeited my security deposit and had to pay 1 month's rent. Just be honest with your landlord. Everything worked out great! Don't worry.

Thank you dannid. I was kind of thinking along the same lines. I just don't see any other way around it. Going to be honest and hope for the best...

If you had an interview/offer then I wouldn't be too concerned about not getting referrals. But, I would call HR and have them double-check that your account is active and eligible for hiring this year. When you turn down an offer your account is generally locked for the rest of that recruitment season (to keep people from cherry-picking locations)...See More

Oh that's sad to hear! Do you know if you need a degree in family and consumer science/home economics or if there is potential to hire someone that shows interest in teaching and has a degree in the other area? While teaching art I have taught sewing and other related topics. Thank you for the information.. I really appreciate it!
haha
Generally you would need to have all of the certifications listed on the job requirements. If they do not find anyone with all of the certs they wanted they may then widen their search to include people with one of the certs and relevant experience in the other.

Does anyone really understand this provision. I asked DoDEA about this provision and received the following email response:
"If you do not possess a valid state ESL teaching certificate then you are subject to meeting DoDEA's 24 semester hour to include 6 semester hours in teaching ESL course work requirements."
Sounds like I wou...See More

Then they should qualify you without state cert.

Daegu for me as well.

Thanks for answering. I've been wondering how many schools have started the interview process and how many seem to be waiting.

With a Masters in ESL and state certification (which means you only need half of the usually required credits) you should be fine for DoDDS qualification.
VulcanWarrior
@haha - Do you mean I could be qualified NOW thru DoDDS - without an ESL Endorsement from my state? The Masters in TEFL & state certification in Social Sciences is enough to qualify me thru DoDDS b/c I only need half of the required credit hours? So, I can request DoDDS to evaluate me NOW for ESL? Wow!

Conventional wisdom is that elementary is a tough way to break into DoDDS because they go to military/teacher spouses. Positins do come up but there are large numbers of applicants in the system.
This may be a good year for it though. On the vacancy list for Pacific East 15 of the 80+ were straight elementary positions with another few com...See More

Isn't it hard to transfer TO Japan? Meaning, unless you are in Bahrain or Turkey, isn't it hard to get high enough on the transfer list?
haha
As amazing as Japan is, many people still follow the allure of Europe, even if the actual locations may not be the European ideal they are thinking of (but still you're in Europe and relatively close to many of those dream locations/experiences).
