hahaNo 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.

There can be some movement from Oki towards the mainland, but the chances for those moves a pretty rare in recent years.
There are a lot of schools/openings in Oki, but "Europe" is a big place and there are many schools/openings throughout Europe every year. So, maybe slightly easier but probably a wash.
It's not somewhat...See MoreIt 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's not somewhat easier. It's a whole lot easier.
It's a rookie question, as it asks to compare an Area with a District, and not even a full District at that. It's like comparing apples and oranges.
hahaIt "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
I wonder if they will generate multiple referall lists for each location, and if so, will it be after the closing date? It says to apply on EAS. It seems like they'd already have a pool of applicants to choose from.
I have 15 years teaching experience in a public school in Florida. I have a Bachelor's Degree. If I got a position abroad with the DODEA, would I start at step 1 on the salary scale?
I asked a lot of questions here before and got some very helpful answers. How do I look up previous posts? I do not see a "search" area nor do I see a place with my previous messages under my profile. Thanks!
MyDODWhen I need to find a post, I type in "teachers.net" plus the keyword I'm searching for in the Google search bar. It narrows down a few pages to click on that are specific to the website and topic I'm looking for.
Bob R/CAShamont's idea is good, you can refine it by including "site:teachers.net" instead of just the raw URL. I'm working on version 3.0 of this chatboard, a better natural language search is on the list of improvements there (along with a host of bug fixes)
3. Instructional practices to...See MoreHi all! I just finished an interview for an overseas position and wanted to share the question topics. Luckily, @haha had shared some questions from previous posts with me and I was prepared for all except 1 question :).
Well, I'll give Thomas the benefit of the doubt that his/her question came out wrong.
Basically, the reasons we post questions is so that people will feel more prepared and more comfortable (and hopefully have a better chance of receiving offers).
The reason we do not post answers is that there is no "right" or "best" answer (and the fact that we want good teachers to come work with us and so we hope that successful candidates will be able to come up with their own right/best answers). The answers to any question will come from your own education, training and (hopefully) successful teaching experience. So, you think about what you might be asked and then think of how you can best present/spin your own unique insights and experiences to give an answer that will present you as a person/teacher/colleague that will be an asset to the hiring principal, the school community, DoDEA,, etc.
If you do not have the training, education or successful experience to generate those types of answers, then that might be a sign that it is not your time yet.
