				I am an Irish 34 year old teacher with 7 years experience.  I have been teaching primary (English, Science, Maths) in Thailand for 3 years and would like to come to Korea.  I have looked at some international schools but I don't think there are that many in Korea.
 
 
Should I be applying to these or are there other options?
 
 
Are there jobs on the jobs board for international schools or is it all ESL jobs?
 
 
I assume the money and holidays are better in these schools.  What kind of salary would I be looking at in international schools or other schools?
 
 
I don't have a TEFL.  Would my teaching qualification be sufficient? |

				| Irish have a reputation for being big drinkers. It may be in your best interest to keep alcohol consumption  a secret. Show the choir boy side of yourself.  |

				| Yeah, I remember seeing some rejection later in the media a couple of years back stating that the applicant wasn't getting the job because of the 'alcoholic nature of your people'! |

If you want to work as a subject teacher then quit looking on EFL boards. 
 
 
Try looking at Teacher recruiting boards or recruiters. 
 
You can also google a list of international schools in the country and/or region and apply directly.
