Signoella Italy

Jan 6, 2021

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.

Thank you!!

Iwakuni vs Yokosuka

by happytoteach

Dec 30, 2020

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!

view previous comments

happytoteach Thanks 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?)

requirements for elementary positions

Jan 5, 2021

Hello can someone help me breakdown the requirements to be able to teach with DOD as an elementary teacher? I just moved this past summer to Italy and hoping I can eventually get back to the classroom. I applied for substitute teacher job plus VS temp position. I have been referred for the VS position just waiting . I'm license in Texas and have ta...See More

haha Yes, HR will generally indicate on your EAS if you are qualified and if not, what areas you are deficient in.

YJN thank you for fast response !

Candidate rating

Jan 3, 2021

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....

haha Good luck! No specific info. about Alconbury schools or community (other than general feedback from people who have loved it there).

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 ...See More

Shipping your car to Korea

Dec 25, 2020

Hi there folks and happy holidays! I have a few questions for those who've shipped their car to their post with them. Currently leasing a car, good mileage, still under warranty and one if the few major possessions I have. The dealership is with works with military families all the time, so they do know a few things about setting up the paperwork.I...See More

HelpOthers Personally, I would not want to bring a leased vehicle. How would you get it back? How are damages covered? Will you be able to insure it if you don't have the title in your name? etc. Look into the costs and specifics by looking up the information at the military facility where you are going. There are probably helpful FB groups there to answer yo...See More

Dr. Ali Fant I 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!

Red Transcripts on EAS?!

Dec 23, 2020

I was checking my transcripts on EAS and noticed that all the ones that were scanned from hard copies are red! This is my 8th year using EAS and this has never happened. Is this new? Does anyone else have this problem?

To be clear, this happens when I actually open the files I uploaded.

I have been waiting for my Visa to Italy for 6 weeks now. I emailed my Visa specialist and she said that Belvoir DOD Visa HQ has shut down twice for Covid. However, they should be taking my Passport to the Embassy next Tuesday or Thursday.

BubbleHead711 My Passport Specialist Emailed today to say the Visa's are back and she will be overnighting them. 7 weeks to take care of something that was actually done in 4 business days

Dec 23, 2020

IsItFriday? Sounds about right. That matches my experiences with them

7 weeks. But watch how fast they get you into the classroom once your feet hit the ground.

I'm not a big fan of the way they in-process new hires, or they way they treat current employees during a PCS. And visa support, is especially subpar.

I'll be interested to h...See More

Position in Okinawa

Dec 15, 2020

I just received a strange email from HR. Apparently they are looking for a 0300, 0330, 0340 combination for a school in Okinawa. It stated my EAS was inactive and if I would like to be considered for the position to update my application by Dec.18 as they will be pulling a referral list on Dec.21. So if anyone qualifies make sure your application i...See More

view previous comments

someday And now I just got a reminder email and the 0300 is gone from the position. Deadline is 1430 CST. This was just strange because it appears they were searching inactive EAS applications to fill the referral list but it isn't an internal position because it specifically states of you are a current Dodds teacher you do not qualify.
