| Mar 8, 2011 at 11:40 | comment | added | Thierry Zell | Also, you have to take into account the basic economics of supply and demand in the job market: the question is not so much is teaching experience required as is it helpful (and the answer again varies tremendously from place to place). Because you can be sure of one thing: there are a lot of candidates with a lot of teaching experience on the market these days. | |

It will depend on whether you're talking about a temporary or permanent position. And it depends on how recruitment works: some places look for very specific specialties, and the more it's the case, the more likely they are to focus on just that one factor. | |
