Well, I've lurked long enough... I have a few questions for any SLP, OT, Counselors, or Psychs who may be here...

1)In the public sector, some providers serve multiple schools and are interviewed by district personnel. I understand this site is geared more toward teachers, but for others, does the principal still conduct your interview, or is it someone from outside the school, an ISS maybe?

2)Does anyone remember their interview questions? I can imagine what a few might be, just curious about what I could be forgetting.

But yes, the vast majority of positions are not advertised and being hired with DoDEA has been compared to hitting the lottery (I think one of my firs...See More

Frank I interviewed a few times for psych positions (to be shared between schools). #1 - sometimes just one principal interviewed me. Sometimes the iss, both principals, and other specialists were all in on the interview. #2 - I don't really remember the questions. Some about counseling, FBAs, adapting to challenges. #3 - There's really know way of of kn...See More
