LOL. At Yokota. Near Tokyo.

Not LIMS, but have worked at Yokota. Good post.

Yes, it was a generic notice as I received it too a while back. If you still want to be considered for this year, it's best to ignore it as you never know when a position opens due to unforeseen circumstances as openings are always possible.

Thank you for the heads up. I will do that. I was interviewed on Nov. 8th, still waiting for anything (pretty stressful wait). I have heard 2 weeks, I have heard a month wait is normal.

It has been a long wait, but I got my first interview. It is for a local hire in Japan. Although this question is redundant, in that I am sure it has been asked and answered here many times, does anyone have any useful tips for the process. I would like to try and prepare as much as possible. I have seen some lists of common que...See More

As a local hire, you won't qualify for RAT, unfortunately. It's part of the hiring incentive for those being hired from the US.
You won't qualify for LQA either, but I believe you will receive post allowance and of course, retirement and medical.
There is a Facebook page called "Dodds/Dodea (teachers interested)" that is very acti...See More

Thank you for the information. I am on day 12 waiting for a response after my interview. Feeling pretty on edge waiting. It has been 7 years waiting on a list, I moved forward with a university career in Japan, and became fluent in the language, but I update every in the EAS system.

Thanks!

I do not believe so. Even teachers (and other civilian federal employees) are no longer required to be vaccinated. There may be further restrictions or quarantine rules for you if you have unvaccinated family members but nothing that should be a deal breaker.

As a parent, you would claim an exemption if needed. But I don't think homeschooled students would be asked for any documentation.

Also, is it possible to get a home about 2000 square feet in Japan or Okinawa?
haha
Well, at the moment, that is not the policy for all civilians throughout all of Japan. The implementation of that end result policy is in different stages in different locations. Some care in some locations is still available, and may continue to be, depending on things progress/workout. Services within the community will also vary widely by locati...See More

There is a Facebook group called "Japan Civilian Medical Advocacy" that is a good resource for medical.
In Okinawa, you might be able to find a 2000 square foot home. In mainland, it will be harder to find one that big. We were lucky to find one that is 1500 square feet.
On another note, lots of places in Okinawa allow pets. Tha...See More

which school did you interview?
haha
It is technically true that HR has the final say. I have always interpreted this to mean that HR needs to do a basic screening of candidates regarding credentials, veteran preference, etc. before they make a tentative offer (after which they obviously do a deeper vetting).
I don't believe that HR routinely picks the principal's 2nd or 3rd...See More

She would likely meet the credit requirements for the position. The other elements to consider would be the general teaching requirement for student teaching and/or passing the Praxis (if she does not have the teaching experience in something already).

haha--always the voice of reason. Thank you for your incredably valuable and rational input. May I ask one more question? I have created an 'online resume' website that includes teaching photos and at least one teaching video. Do you think its worth linking in a cover letter?
haha
My pleasure. You never knows what might have an impact on your chances. Presuming that you are confident that anything on your site will present you/your teaching and experience in a positive light, you may as well give it a shot. It likely will have no great impact either way, but anything that might conceivably help is worth a shot.

Yes, I am going to Korea! I finally received a firm offer, then the travel orders. Right now I am waiting on my pack out date to be confirmed, after that comes my travel itinerary. My report date is Oct 10! I am still in shock all of this is happening, I have had my application in with DODEA since 2017.

Congratulations!! I am in the same stage as you were. Just turned in my eqip. Oh the waiting gets me so anxious then bam you all of a sudden get a mountain load of the next paper work. I can't wait to be at the point where you are at. I'm trying to time it right with my current job. I have had my application in for such a long time too—around 201...See More

Congrats on the interview and sorry you have not heard good news as of yet. As for a status update, you may or may not have any satisfaction with HR. They generally will not shed much light on the situation since they do not really consider a position filled until the successful candidate has accepted and been fully processed, which can take months...See More

Thanks @haha, I appreciate your response! I did contact HR and they quickly got back to me. There was a glitch in the referral list system which created some confusion. Basically, I received a referral list email for a position in an altogether different locale than the one for which I actually interviewed. In any case, the HR answer was not what I...See More
