It improves your chances if you're applying to a tier 1 or 2 school.
If you're aiming for a tier 3 IS, you need a pulse and certification (and sometimes just the pulse suffices). The better tier 3 schools will want two years of experience.

It's called a hypothetical, as in 'IF all other factors were equal'. Having a good amount of experience is part of the equation. It goes in the 'plus' column.

It does.
We disagree.

Read again, I said I'm quite sure. It could be that one of them has dementia now for example, in which case they might not remember.
HODs do matter.
And if my HOD asks which school I'm going to, I'm not gonna say that it's none of is business.

If you're part of the school, you can't stay out of the news. The school list names in their newsletter. If it was your job to lead an activity, and that activity was mentioned, you might be mentioned as well. Not much you can do to avoid that.

I meant just the term 'contract law', as they all have in common that contracts are worth more than the piece of paper they're printed on. It's not true that 'in no professional field would someone be faulted for taking a better opportunity' – in plenty of fields they will if you signed a contract.
Less so in IE, although I've worked at one school where breaking a contract meant paying around 15,000 USD (it was written in the contract), and they certainly went (succesfully) after the ones that did.
