I am also finding that I receive many emails about being placed on referral lists, with no interview offers. I am starting to feel that when I get a referral list email that the job has already been through the interview process.
I accidentally locked myself out of my account, but I can't find a way to contact someone at human resources, does anyone have any ideas? When I clicked the link that states contact chra, it went to an error page.
HelpOthersDid you lock yourself out or was your application locked? If you have interviewed recently, it may be that they are ready to contact you with an offer.
This is the e-mail connected with the "contact us"
In DoSELF, US citizens teach only non-US citizens in schools located in a foreign nation.
Offered a DoSELF (Dept of State English Language Fellowship) to teach students 08/22/2021-06/22/2022 in Estonia while salaried from the US Embassy in Estonia. Like DoDEA, teachers receive living allowance, round-trip airfare for spouse and dependents from the US Government. Job positions are matched to host nation's request to US Embassy for subject matter teachers licensed in the US. The foreign school gets an US Embassy vetted educator at no cost to the school for ten months.
Any info about CAC ID cards, Official US Passports, driving licenses for DoSELF Teachers?
Dr. Ali FantI am not familiar with EDIS. Please explain. Although DoSELF selected me as only teacher for Estonia, Estonia just halted the exchange this week awaiting "further development.s." Possible CoVID related? I am back in the pool of DoSELF candidates.
So for someone with 0 DoDEA experience, the highest starting steps are step 5 and step 11.
Add your DoDEA experience and you would be on step 12 for US/Territories.
In foreign countries, Steps 15, 16, 17, and 18 are longevity steps payable upon completion of: 4 years of service in steps 14, 15, 16, and 17 respectively.
Therefore, starting with step 11, then adding 2 of the 7 to get to 13. Add 4 of the remaining 5 to finish step 14 and the final 1 puts you on the first year of step 15. That is correct.
Secondary math, for example, would include courses such as Algebra, Geometry, Pre-Calculus, AP Calculus. What kind of courses would be included in secondary computer science in a DODD school?
(Yes, General, the future of cybersecurity in America is safe. Look at this long list of courses we offer in our DoDEA schools. Sleep well, knowing that we are training the cyber warriors of the future!)
And then there is reality. Most of our high schools have very few computer science offerings. And what they offer never seems to amount to anything, meaning that it's simply a credit on a kid's transcript. It doesn't lead to competence.
Sure, you can find a gem in the rough, a school with a good computer science program. But for every one of those, we have three or four schools simply going through the motions of offering computer science.
Even the good programs fall apart eventually, usually when the particular Comp Sci teacher transfers to her dream job in Italy.
There seems to be zero driving force from above to sustain a "good" computer science program.
ecd5I emailed Ms. McNair who is the HR specialist in the Americas and she said that if the forms were no longer in my EAS I must've deleted them (not true) and possibly they files were not transferred to my OPF (true)
Also, is it true that you can only work a maximum of 5 years overseas then have to work at a school on base back in the USA, or can you apply for another country...not sure how this works from what I have heard and read. Any insight is greatly appreciated.
The timing is pretty unpredictable. For some, it is a matter of weeks, for others months. There are too many moving parts to give a specific timeframe.
Once you have your orders, ask your POC for a mentor/sponsor to help you with the new employee stuff, lodging, post office box, housing, drivers license, etc.
Korea is the only location that charges rent and utilities up front, which enables DoDEA employees to receive LQA prior to spending it. All other locations (to my understanding) will require at least a deposit, first month's rent, and possibly an agent fee (this is definite in Japan). It is about 3x the rent. LQA will cover it, but not right away, so the pay advance should cover this and probably one vehicle (in Japan). There are no fees for accepting the advance and it is money in your own account, so there is no reason to refuse it.
Lodging will depend on the rules of the military facility you are going to and the host country rules. Right now, with COVID-19 military bases are requiring lodging to occur on base/post, but not all locations even have a military lodging facility, so it will depend.
Yes, most people arrive in country about a week or two before their first work day, but this is not absolute. You will be given a travel window based on your orders, start date, report date, etc.
The 5-year rule does not apply for DoDEA. Many have remained in one location for more than 10 years and remained overseas their entire DoDEA careers.
I had an interview on Wednesday and another on Thursday. Is it possible to get two offers or will my application be locked after receiving the first offer?
