This my 4th year applying and for the first time I received a referral. Which I'm very excited about; however, it's stateside and, like many, I'm hoping for a position abroad. My question is: if I were to get the position would I be able to transfer abroad during the transfer round? And if so, what is the process for this? Or is the transfer round limited to those already posted abroad?

Also, if I am offered the position, but decline would this hurt my chances of getting a position elsewhere in the future?

haha Basically this. There is no clear advantage to being in DoDEA stateside if your ultimate goal is overseas. There are some intangibles (e.g. you know the system/language/standards, you might have made some contacts, etc.) but no transfer capability and generally no applying for internally posted positions).

I know quite a few teachers who have been hired from DoDEA stateside. I have also seen a lot of DoDEA state...See More

someday That's true it would be fruitless to leave a job that you currently enjoy to maybe get an overseas location. I didn't apply for any stateside because I really wouldn't make any additional money and I am happy where I am at. There is so many factors you need to consider and it really is situational. Your insight is always appreciated.

HelpOthers 3 Disadvantages: 1) Your application is frozen for the remainder of that school-year. 2) You pay your own way tot he DoDEA stateside location and rent etc. while there, so you need to keep these costs in mind. 3) If you have Vet preference, you can only use it to get INTO an organization, like DoDEA. Once you are in and being compared to others who...See More
