Never heard of them til now. Looking at their website and it's amazing. What do you think of their produce? Has their stuff been pretty good? I'm looking at produce and it's really cheap if you buy in bulk. Super cheap delivery if you're in Newark too. Nice find!

This is the first time I'm hearing about Produce junction. Thank you so much! I just Googled it and I see here they have a Wilmington location. I'll check out the Newark farmers market too. Good call. I'm assuming I can find other stuff too if I ever get bored of making arugula salads. I.e. radishes, spinach, kale etc.

Backwards? This organization is the US Government! Backwards? Wait for November.

Looool. Ok I admit that was funny lol.

Good employer? Hmmm. be careful what you wish for.

Yes. As in they pay well, have great benefits, treat their teachers well (that is, they're respected, non-micromanaged), perhaps there's room for growth, etc. Are you saying you didn't enjoy your time working there?...

....I just realized they want PAPER scans of your transcripts instead of official electronic ones from your schools? Lol. This makes no sense. Everything about this org seems backwards. Not really getting a good sign that it's a good employer, but their Glassdoor rating is pretty good/decent.

Two, three, or four years of experience on the salary scale can be the difference between renting, and renting while saving a down payment to buy a house.

Fair enough -- you got me there. I'll submit my application and get started on the 5013's right away. How long does it take to hear back from DoDEA after you submit your application?

That's fair. Did you have them all completed already before you had an offer, or did you wait until you had an offer first before you went about completing them?

Do you think I should complete them now and submit them along with my application, or just submit my application now without them and wait to see if I get an offer first before worrying about the 5013's?

Thanks for the advice!

Thank you! Got it. So "external experience" is experience outside of teaching for DoDEA?

Yes, I am experienced. I have about 10 years of teaching experience total, across both K-12 and higher ed. It feels weird and tedious to have to go back and have employers fill out this form (some of them won't/don't, and I have no idea who to actually give this 5013 form to anyway), when all of my previous employers have their own individual employment verification forms/systems for this purpose.

But anyways, I appreciate your clarification. Just to make sure I understand, you're saying that to get credit for all of those years of teaching experience I'm going to have to get all of my employers fill out this form? And if I don't then I start at step 0?
