I asked the same question in an interview this week and the principal said that if everything went smoothly then late September at the earliest. But he said it's impossible to estimate paperwork times and could likely be longer. He said that If one already had the govt passport and necessary paperwork (already working for DODEA) you could possibly ...See More

It also depends on where you're going. If it's somewhere that requires a visa, you'll definitely be delayed. I'm a current dodea teacher, but because my new location requires a visa I'm still waiting... thanks to the pandemic slowing them down.

@Jennifer P, It's very good to hear you were given preparation time for your interview. The advance notice you were given prior to the call is actually the norm, especially mid-July, as it is the end of the hiring season and there is a mad dash to get teachers hired with enough time to pack out, PCS (move), travel, quarantine, and get settled prior...See More

Thanks Travel Bug! I actually wasn't thinking it was a problem or that I meant to seem complaining, more of a "this was my experience" for others out there. In my time on this board and in the process I have come to expect abnormality as a norm, so it wasn't an irritation or a problem for me.

Yes, zero referrals is typical.
If you think it through, it becomes fairly obvious that zero referrals is the typical experience.
There are thousands of applicants in the EAS, and the referral lists contain names that were pulled based on criteria such as level of education, years of experience, a particular combination of certs, ...See More

I agree with IsItFriday. Zero referrals is the norm, especially given the large pool of applicants. If by some chance you are contacted, consider yourself lucky or blessed because it often takes quite some time (sometimes years) before applicants are contacted for the very first time. Don't get discouraged. Keep working hard to display your profess...See More

I didn't know that we could ask HR. I might just do that. I'm in Korea. I think my only downfall was probably my longevity because they can see on my husband's orders (which gives me military spouse preference) that we will be leaving in June of next year :-/
haha
You can always ask. There is no guarantee they will give you an answer (or a helpful one) but it's worth asking. Some principals may be bothered by your departure date, some won't. Good luck!

Waiting on orders. I was told by a friend already in Korea that others who are inbound on govt travel orders have been told that DoDEA will not support commercial flights into Korea and are currently requiring rotator. I found this an odd policy as I assumed most were already booked. I'm going to email HR to see what they're tracking. I just didn't...See More

My understanding is that Patriot Express is the primary choice and SATO will attempt to make this happen, but if all flights are booked, that other options will be used.

For those of you who applied for PDS/ISS positions, have you received any referrals?

These are filled through USA Jobs, so not exactly the same referral process. You get one notice of qualification and that the packet was referred to the next step in the process or get an e-mail of non-qualification.

You can pay for all the travel you want. The only caveat would be making sure you have enough time to quarantine.

DoDEA employees and their dependents are permitted to take personal travel anytime at their own expense. However, given that you have legal agreement between you and your husband, you may need to seek legal advice to determine if your agreement allows overseas travel for your dependents.
That said, there are many DoDEA guidelines which emp...See More

It's not a contract. You don't have a contract. When you get hired, you are on Probation. Eventually you become Permanent. But at no time do you sign a contract.
RAT is as explained by TBF.

IsItFriday?, thank you. I have contacted HR, and the position has been filled.

Too Evelyn. Better luck next time.
I dislike this new procedure in which HR check the references of a whole bunch of people. It relies on bothering a whole bunch of people who don't have skin in the game, and who may be tired of answering the reference checks when you actually are the leading contender.
