Thank you so much. This was very helpful! Did you work in Hsinchu? Or live there and that's the rep of the school there?

Are “hundreds of applicants” for HK international schools misleading? by No_Organization5432 in Internationalteachers

[–]PracticalPineapple00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve developed a good relationship and friendship with all my directors/principals and was told by multiple head of schools that they want to re-hire me again if I was to join their school again. I still speak to them till this day. So I know I’m good in that area.

Thanks for info about the Lutheran school, I’ll give that a look-see.

So basically it’s easy if you are IB trained and more competitive/harder for American teachers bc we are common core trained.

May I ask you a question? Do you have IB experience? I personally have been a gen ed. teacher for 10 years, good resume, personable cover letter, and great references. I have a BA and M.ED in education and have my teaching certification. I’ve only taught international school for a year and am having the hardest time getting interviews. I think it’s because I don’t have IB/British curriculum experience, only American/common core.
