Does anyone know how the required Professional Evaluations work on EAS? Do evaluation forms go out to each of the evaluators that you list as soon as you put their information in EAS? If it says "yes' next to an evaluator's name that you listed, does that mean that they submitted an evaluation or just that you have listed them?
JeremySThank you for your responses. So, it sounds like the only way to know if the evaluator actually received it and returned it is to touch base with them? When they state that you are required to have 3 evaluations, does that only count when the evaluator has actually returned the form they were sent?
hahaAwesome! Welcome aboard! We love the UK. We were there two years ago for a month for vacation. We want to visit other parts of the world, but keep finding more things/places in the UK that we want to go back and see!
Hello Everyone! I have been referred for several different positions overseas the last several months but have not received an interview yet. I wonder if I am missing something? Would it be a good idea to contact the principal of the school I have been referred to in order to introduce myself or would that be overstepping?
I'm slightly confused. You didn't list a Math cert. Why not? You taught it for 8 years, right?
And are your certs for MS, and HS? You didn't say (other than HS History, I'm presuming). A weak candidate only has MS certs, but not HS.
Resume? Not really important per se. Concentrate on your list of certs. Maybe that's what TTM meant. From what you posted, you have either omitted certs, or there are gaps in your qualifications. These gaps might not be important in your current position, but they are important when trying to get hired into DoDEA.
You need to be willing to take a MS position, or a HS position, or a combination. And adding Math at both levels to your list is a significant addition.

Just an opinion, but I don't feel that ES referrals are hard to come by. By definition, for one ES position, many people get a referral.
What has gone unmentioned here, is that an ES cert is a common credential among base spouses.. These positions often go to local hires. Joe may just be a space filler on the list of referrals. He's not making the cut for the interviews, because there may be one, two, or even three local hires on the list, depending on the complex.
Final thought. Joe, you didn't list how many Master's Degrees you have. It's not unusual for a DoDEA teacher to have two Master's Degrees. I hope you're listing at least one.
Joe - your answers will allow us to advise you on how best to move forward.
Hello all. I have got a referral so just in the beginning stages but wanted to get some information before the opportunity comes for an interview. I am currently a dodea teacher state side and have never taken a job over seas. If anyone has some good information that would be greatly appreciated.
I was wondering if anyone has experience with living and working on both of these bases. If so, could you share the pros and cons of both of them, especially for a family (with older kids - and with a cat coming along for the trip), thanks!
happytoteachThanks to everyone for their input, we really appreciate it! Can anyone provide any information about living on or off base in Yokosuka? Are there any sections off base that are better than others (nearer transportation? Newer apartments/houses?)

Does anyone know if the principals conducting interviews have access to all of the info in our applications (work history, international experience, educational history, etc) or do they just see the "rating" that each candidate receives based on the merits of their application?
Hello, it has been a while since I've posted anything. I just recently, about two weeks ago, interviewed for a position in Alconbury, UK. Is there anyone out there that has experience or knowledge about the area. Is this a good location? Is there things to do? Thanks....
The UK is amazing though and one of our favorite places to visit. From that area, the Cotswolds, London (and many other amazing places) are an easy travel distance away. And, the UK is one of the only places where you can teach for DoDEA overseas and English is the local language (sort of :S :D).
Dr. Ali FantI have taken a POV to West Germany and purchased a used POV in Germany as recently as 2012. Considering the shipping wear/tear on the POV, it is easier to purchase a used POV from a dealership with the Advanced DoDEA Salary option. You can rent a car on post for a week to check out used cars your first free weekend.
I just applied for my first overseas DoDEA job about three weeks ago and just received an email that said I was referred. Just curious, how many candidates are typically referred for a position? Is it different depending on whether it is a teacher job or administrator position? Since I am new to this, any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
