So the ranking is done at HR and then send in that order to principal? He/she doesn't have to abide by HR's order —- who would ever know, right ? (Since principal has final say.) Basically what I'm asking is is there any checks and balances to the "system" of preferences (vet,spouse etc)

@IbeforeE I'm not sure about the specifics, but I'd imagine since there is veteran's preference those candidates would at least be offered an interview first. I'm not sure that HR ranks anyone. I'd imagine that it's computer generated based on your EAS application.

I love Foreign Service Benefit Plan. It worked well for us in the USA and has worked for us overseas. My favorite part is the 40 chiropractic, 40 massage, and 40 acupuncture visits per person, no copay, no deductible (coverage up to $60 each time). It also covers more well-visits than we had with other insurance companies. I suggest reading not onl...See More

This would depend on the base. I am assigned to a smaller army base. We are military and payed to ship a second car to Germany and so glad we did. Many of our neighbors bought "beater" cars and have spent more money to fix the problems and then still had to replace with newer cars. If you have 2 reliable cars that are payed off or close to then I w...See More

Keep in mind if you are still paying off a car loan, some lenders will not allow you to leave the country with a car that has not been paid off.

Written in tentative offer:
You must complete the attached DoDEA Exceptional Family Member Program Information Sheet to identify if you have dependents with special needs. At a later time you may be asked to complete a DD Form 2792-1 for each family member with special needs for...See More

Wow, civilians have not been part of the EFMP process, so with CHRA handling the HR stuff now (military organization) maybe it will now be included...

Agree. EAS cannot be used by overseas teachers to select other overseas locations.
HelpOthers
The only way is if your current position becomes excessed and you are placed there by the region or HQ. If the transfer system ever occurs again, it will likely be different and the only other option. You can only use EAS to apply for USA and USA territory positions and not other positions in foreign countries. You can request changes within your c...See More

CHRA can be sticklers to the job description. So that's a hard one. They will most likely look to see if you meet all the requirements (including already being in the agency). However, you might be in luck if there aren't any other candidates.

Having no dependents could work to you advantage! I saw that there was an internal posting for that job, and I would love to go to Bahrain. But I have three dependents.

Apparently there are dependents of government employees (e.g. diplomatic, military command, other civilians?) that will still be allowed to bring dependents. Between those (and locals who are allowed/pay to attend, it is not expected for the school to close. Then again, with a different administration (if it happens), the plan may never be fully im...See More

I was hired in 2018 from the states, my position was excessed in 2019, I was placed locally, and my position was excessed again a few months ago. My superintendent reassured me that because I was hired from the states that I would be guaranteed a position in my current location. I am still provisional until August, but I am looking at moving to my ...See More
I just got a tentative offer this week and I'm currently doing my paperwork. However, I didn't get a fingerprint or physical form request yet. When will I get that because I already got my benefits, passport, and background check paperwork?

You need the prepaid envelope to mail it to the right place, and they were very clear you needed the right form. If i were you I would just check on when they are open and if you need an appointment. The digital live scan was offered off base at different places but they were all booked through August!

It's natural to feel disappointed (financially and emotionally). I was disappointed because I figured a .5 admin/.5 teacher position would be especially relevant and helpful for a DoDEA teacher. And since I was the admin, I could have told my secretary to write it up as a full time teacher or whatever I wanted her to on the experience form (if I wa...See More

If they didn't count that experience then they certainly aren't going to count my other stuff!
