So, after getting over the 2 year experience hump teaching IB DP after my certification in my non-ideal location, I am now looking at jobs in my ideal location; Korea (Seoul, Incheon, Busan, Jeju). I have a valid teaching license from North America in social studies, but really my experience is really just limited to teaching one of the group 3 IB DP courses for these two years.

I've sent out applications to some of the smaller schools in Korea, but what are my chances with larger schools like Chadwick, Dwight, or places in Jeju like Branksome or the new St. Johnsbury? I've sent out applications to these schools but they seem to take a waaaay longer time to decide than the smaller schools.

I ask because it looks like at this point I have to decide to either go completely all-in with my search attending job fairs (January SA Fair in Bangkok) and surrender any guarantee of resigning another year in IB at my current school OR to just stay another year in IB, building my certifications in guidance/counselling.

I've heard generally that 2 years of IB is better than 2 years of non-IB, but it is enough to get into one of those big schools in Korea?
