I know I am jumping the gun, but I like to be prepared. I have made a referral list and am waiting to hear if I am chosen for an interview. Let's say I am chosen for the interview and by some miracle get the job. What are the next steps? DO I tell my current principal imediately, put in my notice? How long does it generally take for the hiring process after offer is made? Will I be out of work with no pay for a significant amout of time ? Sorry if I am rambling, but this makes me nervous. I can't afford to be out of work with no pay while waiting. Thank you for any information.

Just Me Thank you! I've expressedy interest in the DODEA with my principal and she knows I applied, but I'm afraid she will not be so understanding of me leaving on the middle of the year if it comes to it. Going to try not to worry about it yet.

haha Agree with Wilma. Generally they advise that you do not actually resign until you have a firm offer/orders in hand. Of course, you should keep your principal advised/updated on the situation (at least to some extent). Agree that stressing the once in a lifetime opportunity to Join DoDEA/serve the mission, etc. often smooths over bad feelings by adm...See More
