I've been hearing pretty decent things about WSI, so I decided to apply.

I have a year of experience of teaching in Korea (BUT this is at two different schools, 6 months each...which I can give really good excuses/reasons for).

I have a TESOL.

I can speak pretty good Korean.

Native young female American.

I know my "credentials" don't sound amazing to me, but you never know. What are you thoughts?

Apply and find out, you may get lucky.
Good luck.

Your credentials sound great to me. Have you seen the WSI ads in the subway stations and around town? They show two young female Westerners (presumably American judging by their clothes) teaching businessmen. You stand a very good chance.

It sounds like you left 2 jobs mid contract. Will they be willing to give you a reference? It doesnt matter what your reasons are, as long as they can provide references for you.

Work experience, normally, has to be proven, without references you can't prove it.

When I started at this place, I had one year teaching experience and just the CELTA. You could be considered. They normally need people to be resident in Korea to apply and have at least one year of teaching as well as a certificate in teaching.
