Hello, I am trying to understand how RAT works. If I do not start the job at the beginning of the year does that mean that year does not count towards the two year RAT allowance?
hahaYes, there are a certain number of school days you need be present and on duty for that year to count towards RAT. I forget the exact rule but it's something like 170/175 days as I recall.
Thanks ...See MoreMy daughter and son in law are planning on moving to Germany in the next year. I have been in education for 29 years and have actually taught with DoDEA many years ago. However, I am currently an educational diagnostician for special education. Does anyone know how active recruitment is for the assessor 0415 position is for DoDEA?
Getting hired for any position is a long shot these days. It gets even longer if you try to target a certain country/location. But, complete/update your EAS and see what happens. You never know!
By relation: I applied and was qualified for four positions on June 9th. I haven't heard a peep about the next step in the process. Should I ask if my application is online and visible? I know they hire over the summer, but nothing has come into my Inbox, spam or otherwise, about the remainder of the process. I wanted to ask if I could get a background check done and have it sent to DoDEA head office to speed along the process. Is there anything I /should/ be doing? I'm just feel like I'm passing over so many other opportunities for the fall and staring down the silence that is this job application process. I really want to be a teacher with DoDEA, so I'm 100% prioritizing this process. It's just gonna be a real kick in the teeth if August 31st rolls around and I haven't lined anything up for September because I'm been holding out for this.
Once your EAS is finalized, there really is not much in the way of communication from HR's end unless there is an issue with your application (and often not even then) unless you are referred for an open position, a principal looks at your application for an interview list, etc.
There isn't much that you can do to jump start the process in the short term. Background checks don't generally come into play unless you interview and are offered a position. It wouldn't hurt to try have someone at HR check your file and make sure it is active and complete and that your contact information is correct.
It doesn't help your peace of mind right now, but for the longer term you can maximize your chances of making referral lists and getting interviews by maximizing your areas of possible qualification, if you have not already.
Basically, one man's trash is another man's treasure, so for every hardship position there are may people who like it/love it there, or at are least fine with it to get there foot in the door.

I am in Japan and looking at hard to fill positions like Turkey, Bahrain etc. Is it possible to get LQA if I get a position there and will they pay for the move?
2catsHi. How/where do you get a list of hard to fill worldwide positions? I know that in Japan they sent out an internal list of vacancies for intradistict positions, which were move yourself positions.
If you a...See MoreIt depends. Are you currently a DoDEA overseas teacher in Japan? If yes, then it is possible, although many open positions are being filled internally with teachers agreeing to pay for their own move. You would still keep LQA if you already have that benefit. If not, you may qualified for it if they want/need someone badly enough.
If you are not currently a DoDEA overseas teacher, then you would probably not qualified for LQA if you were hired while living in Japan. But, they would likely pay for the move.
As always, there are also other unique situations that could lead to other answers/options. Good luck!
Anyways, the interview went well and the principal said some...See MoreSo I had an interview for my dream position on Memorial Day, didn't know about the interview because the secretary never sent me the information, she called and said I had an interview now, of course, I said I did not receive anything and she sent the information after the call.
Anyways, the interview went well and the principal said some things that had me believing I had the job. Well about a week and a half later the principal calls me one evening saying my teacher certification expired. I renewed it Oct 2021 but failed to upload it to my DODEA application, but she asked for me to email it to her, which of course I did, her response email wasn't too hopeful. My friend interviewed for now I'm believing for the same position, she ends up getting another offer from another school in another location. We were talking and she suggested I look at my application on DODEA and I do, and there were comments dated June 8, about my teacher certification not being up to date, which I corrected when the principal called me and there was another mistake, so now my application is "not qualified" which I know I am, it's just my documentations were all screwed up.
With all that being said, does anyone know who I can contact anyone to get them to look at my certifications/qualifications? I have tried calling HR, well at least the numbers given on the DODEA website and of course no one answers or the mail box is full and I emailed but haven't heard anything.
I could just kick myself for these clerical errors. Even though the principal secretary made a mistake and didn't send me the link for my interview. I am just so frustrated and needed to vent, so thanks for letting me vent. I hope and pray she can't find anyone, wishful thinking, I know, but still hoping once my stuff gets all situated I will get the job.
Does anyone know what university offers the Continuing teacher education methods classes for art, math and science for people who live in Arkansas? The university of Phoenix doesn't offer to people in Arkansas.
I have an interview Friday morning for a guidance counseling position in Germany. Can anyone provide guidance, pointers, or possible interview questions? It's a phone interview. Thank you!
If you are a DoDDS employee (did not use RAT, fulfilled transportation agreement) and take a job with DDESS, do you pay back summer LQA if you are hired at the start of the school year? What if you are hired over the summer and PCS back stateside for the job- when does your LQA terminate? Any other information that would be helpful for this topic is also greatly appreciated! Happy Friday :)
