ATeacherNo, that is incorrect. DoDDS teachers may only apply to DDESS locations, not other DoDDS locations. They are seperate entities under the DoDEA umbrella and operate under different contracts.
hahaAgree. The only exceptions would generally be when hard to fill internal positions are announced via email and/or when in district/complex positions are made available to internal applicants (or applying for admin/ISS positions).
hahaHaven't really heard much about excessed teachers being placed, but I do know of new teachers being recruited stateside for certain positions, so I would assume most have been placed already (but you never know, do you?).
ecd5Very common. It's basically the only way to move to another location unless you accept a promotion. Also, DDESS teachers have priority over non-DoDEA applicants.
Hi, I'm currently working for DoDEA in Japan. I arrived in November 2020. I'm now considering resigning my position at the end of this school year. I haven't taken RAT. Are there guidelines as to when to let HR know? I emailed the question to my POC and I haven't receive an answer (SHOCKER).
So I received a phone call yesterday about a phone interview for a position but i wasn't alerted by the EAS that I had even been refered has this happened to anyone else?
Jaubrey23Yes! Though I am worried, as the post is for a current opening and I am "outside the gate" there was a concern that I wouldn't be on boarded in time for this school year. But I did my best and will keep a good thought

Hi, is anyone a reading specialist and can tell me more about what your day to day looks like? I received a referral recently and want to get prepared if a potential interview comes. TIA!
As I recall (could be wrong), it is a relatively...See MoreAlways tough to say for sure. It could be a very good sign, or it could be part of a group email that was sent out to many candidates. In any case, it is likely that Garmisch has/will have an opening in one or more of your certification areas. So, if you are interested, answer yes I suppose.
As I recall (could be wrong), it is a relatively small post and does not offer all grades, which could be something to consider if you have school age children.
Does anyone have insights into Hohenfels Middle/HIgh School in Germany? The idea of teaching at a school that has grades 7-12 with just 280 students sounds wonderful. But, I suspect that this post is highly competitive.
hahaFrom my understanding,/experiences it's a nice, smaller post with generally good facilities and interesting villages in the surrounding communities. The school is relatively new and with good facilities. I've heard generally good things about the admin/faculty, but that info. is a bit dated. Bavaria is definitely a nice place to live/work.
Does anyone have any insights into whether FERS retired annuitants are brought on by DODEA as rehired annuitants or whether we keep receiving our FERS retirement while working under contract with DODEA? I retired from DOJ, and asked two people at HR. Each one gave me a different answer. Thanks!
For those of you hired, do you remember how many of your references were contacted before the tentative offer was made? Also, is the email form sent from HR to them "standard", or are phone calls more common.
IcanreadI don't think any of my references were contacted for the position I currently hold. Prior to that, I do think the hiring admin contacted at least a couple of my references.
