Thank you!

@HelpOthers. Thank you - it seems between the two schools there are about 550 kiddos. Our middle/high school have 2300 between them, so it would be nice to go smaller. Of course, that is if I even get an interview (fingers crossed).

I agree with HelpOthers. Basic information about most school communities can be found online, and through Facebook. Here is their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/VicenzaMiddleSchool/. Here is the public webpage: https://www.dodea.edu/vicenzams/. And here is the base PCS page to help you get an idea about the area and how a move would work: ...See More

Yes you want to organize as much as possible in advance. We did t go so far as to have items in boxes or tubs but definitely had all UB in one room of the house. They should come and do a walkthrough before packing day and take an inventory so make sure to ask your packers specific questions also about what would help them help you.

First, congratulations! Second, I agree with HaHa and Ida. It would be helpful to have everything sorted, cleaned, and prepped accordingly prior to the movers arriving. I would also agree that it is helpful to have a second person there to help you with eyes and ears. Last, I recommend taking pictures of your belongings prior to the movers arriving...See More

The first paycheck comes two weeks after the first day of school on the Friday. I am tracking Sept 4th for this year.

You can also request three months loan to help with all the up-front expenses.

Read the directions on the cards closely and prefill out whatever information you can.

Well never mind what I said. My passport official said I would need form DD 1614 because the METR and transportation agreement don't indicate where my new duty station is. HR was thrown off when I explained the situation.

Please help understand what might be happening with this situation. I had one interview on Friday, was asked for a second interview today to be held on Wednesday. About 2 hours after receiving the email for time on the second interview, I received and email from the EAS system saying I wasn't selected for the position I am inte...See More

I think you've got the makings of a great lawsuit, when it turns out that the superintendent's "niece" wins the job.
She was such an obvious choice that they gave her the job four days before they interviewed the other candidates.
Please get my handle correct, when you sell the rights to your story to Hollywood.

Ignore the automated e-mail. Ask the person who scheduled the interview if you are still interviewing or if the names for the position have already been given to HR. If you are still interviewing, just do your best and hope for the best.

I am a newish teacher (certified K-6) beginning my research into DoDEA schools overseas. My dad is still active duty, and I went to a DoDEA high school in Germany.
How difficult is it to pick your base? I am specifically interested in England. Is that a popular place, or do positions open up there? This would be a few years...See More

If England is where you want to be, you should just wait. It's unlikely that you'll get a transfer there any time soon if you accept a position in another location. You'll be way too low on the transfer round list as a new teacher and new to DoDEA. Also, there isn't much indication that there will even be a transfer round any time soon.

Turn down interviews for locations you don't want to go. Do not turn down offers. Turning down one offer will freeze your application for the remainder of the year and will be noted on your application for future interviewers to see.

I interviewed a week ago and my references were contacted. So far.....crickets.....

Not always. I didn't receive an offer until 5 weeks later. You can try contacting CHRA and see if the position has been filled.

I was not notified that I was not selected. I live in a small overseas community. I was a local applicant and found out through a colleague that someone else was selected.

Wow. Thank you all for the wealth of information. While I've been aware of the many international school websites available, I haven't paid into any of them yet. Perhaps I'm a bit too distrusting in nature, but I've been hesitant to pay into any of them for fear that they're just as much a scam as some of those lower tier schools. So thank you for ...See More

If you are hired from an international school in Japan to a DoDEA school in Japan without living in the USA during the application and offer time frame, you would likely not qualify for Living Quarters Allowance. That is also something to keep in mind if DoDEA is your ultimate goal.
