Holding off applying until late December/early January?

[WonderingWhat]

I'm an experienced PYP teacher but thinking of putting off applying to jobs I see posted at SA until late Dec. early Jan. for various reasons. Will I miss out or will good schools still hold off on offering contracts until then for the most part?

2 ways to look at it. If you want something specific then go for it as soon as possible. The longer you wait, the more chance you have of missing out. However, if you don't mind where you go then waiting until after the big fairs makes you a strong candidate for any schools that gets messed around and left hanging.
