Glad to see I'm not the only one still in this delima. I too, after pretty much being reassured at the beginning of August, expected to be shipped out before school started. I gave notice to my school. I have exhausted my financial reserves and am surviving off a loan from my parents to pay my mortgage and other bills. I've gotten the same round ar...See More

By the way I had my interview on July 1st, my tentative offer on July 20th, and accepted offer on the 21st. I returned all the required paperwork by August 10th. I kept asking about not receiving my fingerprint card. Turns out that was an oversight. My fingerprints and e-Qip were completed by 8/19 and I'm still waiting.

I'm sorry for your situation. There are no hard and fast rules that I am aware of for references. Generally you would think that a second interview and asking for ANOTHER reference would be a very good sign (providing that the references check out of course). I suppose it's possible that you another candidate(s) were so close in their minds that th...See More

Yes, thanks so much for the support. The coin flip was not in my favor. I agree haha in that a simple email would have been nice at the very least. At this time, I still haven't received one bit of correspondence that I was not selected for the position. Seems very unprofessional and careless on their part.

Usually up to 3 admin days for those types of things is reasonable. In reality admin has the discretion to sign off on more if other moving in tasks come up..

Ouch for you, Bob R/CA! Let's see. Nathan's point is indisputably valid: the compulsory ads actually do steal directly from our personally paid for, limited GBs bank. Many then acted to defend and adapt to this theft of our GBs by downloading and using free ad blocking software, software which serves us just like the audio-video Mute button does fo...See More

It's not simply inspection fees. When I moved to teach at Camp Zama a number of years ago, I had to leave my almost new Subaru behind here in the states because it would not have passed the Japanese emission standards. Very expensive if not impossible to get this fixed.

And "haha" is giving good advice. It's probably better to sell it. I made the mistake of putting my Subaru in storage and when I moved back to the states at the end of my contract, I had to spend almost $6000 to get it fixed and running again as letting a car simply sit in storage for a year or more can result in a lot of damage to the engine and a...See More

Were you able to interview? I am pretty sure I interviewed for the same position.

Oh you all are amazing. Thank you for sharing your experiences. It actually makes me feel so much better knowing that other people have waited and waited and then actually got the offer. I absolutely will keep hope. I appreciate you all! :)

Any chance the ET position is in Sasebo? If so, have you had a follow up interview?

Seasonal just means we only work during the school year. Half time positions with DoDDS generally qualify for half benefits so I would think that DDESS is the same (but obviously double check if you are interested).
uh89
I received a similar e-mail from DDESS for a part time position in Puerto Rico, even though my application is only with DoDDS. It does say, "If you would like to be considered for this position, please let us know and log back into your application and select part-time under the target job module and make sure you have selected Puerto Rico - Antill...See More

Most of the interviews I have had with DoDDS were the same 7 questions (e.g. Why DoDDS?, Tell me about a successful lesson you did with planning, differentiation, assessment, Tell me about a time you had a challenging situation and how you dealt with it, Tell me etc).
Even when I flew to DC for the Jo...See More
