I was contacted by the Assistant Principal of the high school in Puerto Rico requesting to have an interview for "a possible PART-TIME" position. The email went on to say that the position is teaching business part-time or 20 hours per week. Since it was part-time, DODEA will not incur any cost in movement.

Question #1- Are business teaching positions typically part-time or full-time?

Question #2- If an external teaching candidate such as myself has an endorsement in Business Education, what is another endorsement to work towards to increase my chances for full-time employment with the DODEA?

Thank you!

HelpOthers Medical insurance for a part-time employee is very costly, more than twice what you would pay as a full-time employee. That added to paying your own move and then living off a part-time pay. I don't think I would accept that interview invitation. It's a lot to consider. That said, accepting a part-time position can turn into a full-time for the fol...See More
