Awesome, thank you! All the positions I was "following" are elementary. I'm qualified middle/high, just never taught it. Which brings me to another transfer question out of curiousity. I know that people rank locations, but can they also rank job categories? Meaning, could someone say "I don't care about location, but I want elementary, not middle ...See More

Someone had a similar question about which gets the highest priority (locations or categories) and the answer was this:
Your locations receive the higher priority. For example, if you listed England, Germany, and Japan and categories 210, 310 and 320, your application would be considered in the follow order: England - 210, 310, 320 Germany...See More

I'm not 100% up on the hiring process for the stateside schools but I was under the impression that the interview process was the as it is for overseas: You apply, you get a referral notice and then may or may not get a call/email from a principal for a specific job opening at a specific school. This could happen at any time but is most likely to h...See More

What generates the referral notice?

the waiting all depends on qualifications, and even then you can never be sure. some teachers who can do all the SPED can go years without hearing anything, while others get hired right away. for example, i have middle and high school science (no AP, but all the sciences). I just completed my first year of teaching, applied and was hired. im now wi...See More

The wait for a job offer can range from weeks to never. Many people are in the system for years and never even get an interview. The average for people who do get jobs is probably 2-3 years. It took us 4-5 years before we got in. Some of it depends on your area of certification. Unfortunately elementary is fairly common. On the other hand there are...See More

I think it is possible. Money could run out or there could be positions for which there was no match for an applicants certs AND location choice. I've never seen a list go out after the transfer round showing unfilled positions but you never know. I hear from some long time DoDDS teachers that they used to publish the service computation date of ev...See More

Gotcha, makes sense. There was a EI/LIMS and PreSchool Disabled/EI combo I was curious about. ANother was a sped combo with Speech and a SPED combo with I think HI. I wonder if those numbers will change?

Most people do get hired in Korea or Japan first but it does happen that people get hired to Europe. In our case we landed Europe for our first posting and then transferred TO Japan (because we had been there before with an int'l school and couldn't wait to get back).
SPED is a good area to have. You shoul...See More

Teach, I saw the link that tells how many courses are needed in each area. However, I didn't see the SPED categories listed (LIMM, LIMS, and EI). Maybe I'm looking at the wrong page. Can you paste the link? Thanks for all of your help!

Credit check, background check on various databases, randomly contacting a certain number of your contacts, etc. It will happen when it happens. Waiting is a pain and stressful but it will be worth it and quickly forgotten once you get to your new post.

Generally it's pretty much a non-factor that you are applying together since DoDDS treats you as two completely separate applications (as opposed to international schools where you would be applying as a couple which can be a great advantage)
On the other hand, if the both you getting hired at the same time is a deal breaker for you then y...See More
