Almost half of DoDEA teachers are vets (not all vets have points for hiring preference) or spouses. I think that's a reasonable estimate. It's definitely in the ballpark.
haha
Anecdotally, it seems less to me, but without access to actual numbers, it's as good of an estimate as any.

Possibly. Maybe. Hopefully. The world is pretty crazy right now and doesn't seem to be calming down anytime soon. Hiring will still get done but the bulk might wait until school is actually closed for the summer.

1)In the public sector, some providers serve multiple schools and are interviewed by district personnel. I understand this site is geared more toward teachers, but for others, does the principal still conduct your interview, or...See More

That's what happens when you start posting, spend 4-5 years trying to get hired, and 8sih plus more years posting after being hired. It becomes a hobby. Has it really been THAT long? Wow. :S
But yes, the vast majority of positions are not advertised and being hired with DoDEA has been compared to hitting the lottery (I think one of my firs...See More

I interviewed a few times for psych positions (to be shared between schools). #1 - sometimes just one principal interviewed me. Sometimes the iss, both principals, and other specialists were all in on the interview. #2 - I don't really remember the questions. Some about counseling, FBAs, adapting to challenges. #3 - There's really know way of of kn...See More

Just Me
From previous experience, I don't believe that they would have bothered taking the time to resend the email if they weren't still considering me, but I could be wrong. I really don't want to get my hopes up for this to be an anomaly or nothing at all.

It's not a guarantee. That happened to me two years ago. I know I would've received great references, but I still wasn't offered the job. I assume it's a very good sign, just not a guarantee. Good luck and let us know.

I saw the announcement on USA jobs for Virtual Teachers. However, it stated it was only seasonal. Does this mean it is only for summer?

Hi all question regarding the VHS posting. Do the teachers actually teach on a camera or just moderate the class and facilitate Questions. Thanks much.
haha
From assisting students who were taking virtual classes, you would just be a facilitator.

No real insights unfortunately. School Counselor positions are relatively rare. No real way to know why there was only one interview and/or why an offer has not been forthcoming. Hang in there.

Potentially somewhat easier, but less so than in the past when many people receiving transfers generally wanted to move from the Pacific to Europe. There can be some movement from Oki towards the mainland, but the chances for those moves a pretty rare in recent years.

It is much easier for a new hire to get a position in Europe than in Okinawa. In fact, it is approximately three and a half times easier to get a position in Europe.
There was no transfer round this spring. And there are many more teaching positions in Europe. Approximately three and a half times more positions.

It only took a couple of weeks for me—last year at this time. I hear it can vary wildly, though.
haha
It "can" take a few weeks, in the sense that it has all been finalized within that time frame before. Depending on your own unique situation, who is involved with your case, etc. it could happen again.
Historically, 4-6 weeks was considered a relatively fast time, but maybe HR is getting more efficient. :D
