@haha yes, I know I was surprised to hear the process from the Principal. It is very likely that one might not even be there when school begins due to HR and slow processing speed.

Turkey is a beautiful country with amazing history. Ankara is a very small school with children from the embassies in the area and you may find yourself with lots of different preps if at the middle/high school level. Its an amazing community. I am however, sad to see the changes in political climate since the 1970s-1990s. Stay safe and make local ...See More

Interesting (and sad to hear). Maybe because they were being denied a promotion or lateral move, rather than initial employment with the federal gov't? Or simply confirms that everyone has/has heard their own story and so much (way too much) comes down to some individual's interpretation of policies/procedures.

Worst case scenario would be arriving in a location and having the school try to meet your child's needs only to be told that they cannot meet the needs and your child will need to attend a non-DoDEA school that could be in a different country paid at DoDEA's expense. Placing my child in a residential school, because the school where I work cannot ...See More

Thank you, both of you. I know it is small, like 200 students. I am just having a hard time deciding to hold out for an admin job or take a teaching job. I wanted a teaching job seven years ago with the DOD and now I am getting many invitations to interview. Hence my question to you earlier about mobility once hired as a teacher. What a crazy hirin...See More

@KMC moving from a teaching position to an admin position is a promotion, so even though the transfer round is not occurring, you could potentially move to another location through a promotion. Therefore, I would accept a position in Ankara (if I had not dependents) in a heart-beat.

It takes a lot of patience. It takes many people years to get hired.

Be cautious of flying prior to having orders. People have been told in the past if they flew before they had orders, they would not be reimbursed.
Also, if you leave the USA before you receive your final offer, you could potentially lose your LQA eligibility.

https://aoprals.state.gov/content.asp?content_id=241&menu_id=75 is the link by the Department of State that explains what LQA is.
https://www.dodea.edu/Offices/PolicyAndLegislation/upload/14_PGRMD_021.pdf is the DoDEA regulation that also explains who is eligible- see enclosure 3.

However, that only applies to DoD if I'm reading it correctly and you said you are a contractor. I'm assuming you work for Sterling/Magnum Medical? I transitioned from working for them and received LQA. I was at an overseas location and moved to another overseas location. My contract for Sterling had salary and a separate amount for LQA. You will n...See More

Thank you Icanread....the pandemic has ensured that. You know, I read that some of those benefits are taxed? Is this true?

Yes! Read more here. https://www.dodea.edu/Offices/ResourceManagement/PCS-and-Tax-Changes.cfm

Yes. But it's more likely to that an AP would be hired from outside than a principal (in my knowledge and experience, but anything is possible).

@TeacherToAdmin, moving from the classroom to ISS or admin position is considered a promotion and is one way that people are able to move to new locations without a transfer round. I believe those positions are usually applied for through USA Jobs rather than EAS, so that is one reason that movements occur.

Do we send this form to our past admin/principals or to the district/HR we worked for ? Does the employer have to send it back through a sealed envelope or can they sent it through email?

@KMC I just tried to upload mine and it wouldn't let me either even though it was a .pdf. I was giving it the name "Employment Verification." It didn't give an error, just didn't add anything when you hit upload file. Then I tried by naming the document exactly the way it was listed in the drop down list and it then added it. Hope that helps.

@MyDOD Thanks, I got it to work!
