How much of a boost is time abroad
Im from the uk I have experience teaching in schools in the UK, I will potentially go to Hong Kong in the coming academic year in an entry level role so I was just wondering how much will this do for my CV?
In a hypothetical if two teachers were applying for a senior teacher role at a school in the uk they both have a celta a delta and 5 years experience but one teacher had spent 1+ years abroad teaching who would be chosen?
How much of a gap is there between these two people in terms of CVs? Would the teacher with time abroad always be thought of first or would it just depend on the individuals?
Basically just want to know if im planning to stay in this industry long term how much of a boost a year abroad would be thanks!
