18-19 school year application

May 14, 2018

Hello all,

I'm a new applicant to the DoD so I feel a bit underprepared when it comes to the online application, gaining qualification, and then hopefully being offered a position. I thought I would turn to you all that are in the same boat and teachers with the DoDea. I submitted my application in Janauary and have been patiently waiting to hear anything but recently I've had to update my information particularly my current address and phone number. I hit submit in the individual section but according to the online guide if I update any section I would have to refinalize my application and it never gave me that option, should I be concerned? Also is there anything I can do to be proactive about my future employment as I haven't heard back from anybody about anything? Thank you all for any advice.

Are you showing qualified in the areas you feel you should be? What areas do you have?

Alexandra In addition to this post I did contact HR to see if everything was okay but with the time change I have heard back as of yet. I'm a recent graduate so I'm only qualified for secondary English education. I'm not aware of this referral list, what is it?

haha When a principal has an opening they request a list of qualified candidates from HR who have the required qualifications. Candidates on that list generally (but not always) receive an email telling them that they are on a list and may be contacted for an interview (principals generally select 3-5 people from the list to interview).
