Hi all! I saw a post in another message board and wanted to see what input this group may have.
About how much money should someone have saved to cover expenses for an overseas move? Are any expenses covered by DoDEA upfront or are most reimbursed at a later time? Any input would be helpful. Thank you!
I was qualified for Spanish in the EAS system, and today also for German. Waiting for paperwork to qualify for ESL. Any idea about how demanded those positions are. Does it hekp to be qualified for more then one subject?I I inteviewed for a Spanish position, waiting on a response. Any thoughts and ideas. Hopefully there are some good news soon....
ESL is generally provided at all schools, ...See MoreSpanish is taught in every Secondary school (and some MS). So, every high school will have at least one position. It used to be taught at elementary but they discontinued the program.
German is taught in every school in Germany (which are significant in number). I believe at every level.
ESL is generally provided at all schools, at every level (oneish position at every school) and can be combined with other positions.
So, you have some useful certs, that can be combined (at least in Germany). Once you add ESL, you have the potential to combine 3 areas. And, you are getting some interest for just the Spanish, so, all good signs.
1234567FfmThank you, Someone mentioned that Spanish was a certification that many had, and not very much required. I just hope my the ESL paperwork goes thru quicly. Pandemeic and slow burocracy. Thank you for the info.
@haha (or anyone with input), I apologize because we discussed SPED positions a few months back. But, I'm prepping for an interview (yay!!). What population of students are considered Moderate/Severe according to DODEA? Thank you for being such a valuable resource to all of us!
Hi everyone, I have a question regarding the VHS posting in USA Jobs. The posting on USA Jobs is it for a pool of teachers for potential open positions or are there positions actually needing filled. Also do you teach from home or from a school. Thank you in advance.
RJThe hours you work are base don your hub, however you would be supporting DoDEA students all over the world, not just your hub. I don't know why, but some classes are only supported by certain hubs. I had students who had teachers in Europe and the US, yet we are in Japan (which by the way has its own hub in Okinawa).
So I had a dilemma ...See MoreI had an interview this past weekend and I'm just waiting for feedback at this point. I'm thinking that I've probably not been selected, but I'm relieved that I now have the interview experience. Honestly, after several years of applying, I am happy just to make it to the top of the slush pile to even get an interview.
So I had a dilemma this morning when I went in to check and make sure my application reflected my qualifications for future referrals/interviews. I did not have the correct level of education selected! I forgot to change it this past update after I earned more credit. I am wondering if it matters a great deal that it initially stated Masters, and now it's Masters+30.
All of my transcripts are provided that show this, but I know that with HR and principals so busy playing catch-up, it may go unnoticed unless it can be quickly scanned in the short report. But then again, I'm reading that it really doesn't matter in some cases as the principal will choose whoever they want regardless of level of qualifications. I'm a little conflicted.
ecd5The only thing that the masters +30 will help with is determining your actual salary after you are selected. I also do not think that it would be a deciding factor on whether or not you are selected over another candidate with a master's degree.
MyDODThanks you guys! I was feeling the same about the technicality of it not mattering, but uneasy about technology shooting out a referral list based on edu levels and certs. Thought I may have shot myself in the foot for past opportunities.
How long does the federal background check typically take? The prints are due to arrive in MD on Friday. The instructions say it can take up to 10 days after that.
My husband wants to list the house already, I told him he needed to wait until that's done ✔
MsUThanks everyone. With the protests and virus things aresuper unpredictable right now. Our realtor said we should put in our contract that it was contingent upon me receiving the orders and then also ask for 60 days if necessary. Houses in this market typically sell in 3 days with 45 day closings!

This is probably a weird question, but is there a limit on the number of referrals/interviews a person can receive? For example, let's say something had 10 interviews in three years, is there a limit that one can reach that will get them taking out of active status or prevent them from getting more referrals/interviews?
I tried to post this once and it didn't go through... Hoping it's not double posted.
This is for anyone overseas in DODDS... Is there any current openings for PE and/or Health on any level (K-12) you know of? Potential openings? Thanks.
IcanreadHonestly, in the handful of PE openings I've seen in my area in the past 2 years, those positions have all been filled by internal applicants. So even if there are PE positions open right now, they may be offered to current DoDDS teachers before local/CONUS hires.
When people discuss contacting references, are those the people (admin) already listed on the application who were supposed to have filled out the referral form? And if they already did that, are they contacted again when DODEA checks references or do they view the referral forms?
IcanreadEven though you may have completed referral forms in your EAS applications, sometimes interviewers contact your references again. When I interviewed, I had to submit a list of references before my interview.
