Just curious if it's because the SPED areas are mainly in abundance due to shortages. I'm not really seeing anything for music, SS, drama, elementary, art,PE,gifted, English, ESL etc
It also seems like everyone...See More

I concur, definitely random

Based on my very limited knowledge, I'm not aware of any agreement. Competitive service implies that positions are open to everyone, exams, etc. are required and taken into account, etc., so maybe not? :S

I've heard SHAPE is very small, but it has an international community. Travel from that area is easy. I've also heard limited support (commissary, exchange, after school activities for children). Some consider it one of the top locations, but others have left because of the small size. With the international community, there is a lot of competition...See More

Thanks! That info actually helps a lot. Just a waiting game now.

From the DODEA website:
0333: Teacher, Physics
A major in physics or a minimum of 30 SH in the field of science is required. Course work must include a minimum of 12 SH in physics...See More

Ask HR specifically. Normally I would also say 12 but I seem to recall someone who posted that the specific subject hours were also halved for them. It's worth an email.

Thanks to you both. I'll double check with HR. I guess if I need two more credits, I'll pick them up in the fall since I'm up to my ears right now between distance teaching and working through 9 semester credits in health.

Sorry. I didn't read fully your post. Not sure if the account looks different after declining an offer. Sorry!
IsItFriday?
And you can't ask HR, because that' s like asking them to flag your account.
"Oh, yeah, you're the person that declined that sweet offer..."

Well, as I understand it, it was basically a response to the OP who was making the case that DoDEA teachers were all getting rich and that we were doing better than the commander in most/all respects (I'm paraphrasing). We weren't quite sure if they were complaining or worried that the secret might get out before they could jump on the gravy train....See More

Thanks for everyone's input; to answer jgray, I set up what has been proven to be an unfaithful comparison between an educator and the GC because I found it odd that an educator at an overseas base might earn more in total compensation than the officer in charge of that base. I've moderated my position but not totally; the financially-shrewd educat...See More

I reached out to HR about the confusion. Apparently I was on two different lists, hence the different numbers but I never received a referral for the one I wasn't selected for. Strange and glitchy system indeed..

@ms896 I've received two positions on a referral email before for split positions.

@oldshack- yes, I got referrals to both and had an interview for one of them last week. Fingers crossed!

Naples is nice once you get into the Italian frame of mind. Live away from the city.

Here you go: Here are some past thoughts about interviews that have been posted by myself and others, FWIW. Some will be more subject specific, so prepared to talk about the subject areas listed on the referral:
Most of the interviews I have had with DoDDS were the same 7 questions (e.g. Why DoDDS?, Tell me about a successful lesson you d...See More

@haha, this is great! I'm glad to see there is some consistency with the questions. This will definitely help me prep for my interview! Thank you for taking the time to share these with me! Have a great day!

I too received an email back in April for a math position at the elementary/middle school in Guam. My husband is being stationed there! We are super excited. I just wish I could get an update about this position! I am not good at the waiting game.

No kidding! My referral was a week ago and it's been crickets since. Good luck!

It's just random. Don't overthink it.
