Internal vacancies?

Sep 7, 2019

I am a current DoDDS teacher, but my husband's non-government job is relocating to Europe and we currently live in Asia where I am the sponsor. My understanding is that I can only pick up a job elsewhere in the transfer round, correct? I've had 2 HR reps tell me to update my EAS application to be considered for internal vacancies, but the application clearly states that current DoDDS teachers can NOT use EAS to apply for internal vacancies. Is there really no other way to relocate? I would even be willing to move myself if I could.

Icanread I just chatted with someone yesterday who is trying to do the opposite... move from Europe to Japan. She is super frustrated with how things have changed.

Stacyslp Icanread, what is wrong with Europe compared to the Pacific school locations? I've heard the workload can be higher. Since most people want to get into Europe the schools take advantage of that and give the employees more duties, caseloads, class sizes, etc. Is that true???

haha I'll be interested to read the response as well. From my experience (and what I hear/read) it's not so much about Europe vs. Pacific in terms of workload, work/life balance etc.. It just varies wildly by school, location, how admin choose to implement certain policies/make certain that duties are equitably shared, etc.

Icanread For me personally, I love Japan! But my husband is being relocated to Europe with his non-government job... and we'd like to keep our family together.
