Applying through Search

Quick question for those of you who have used Search in the past. Do you typically apply for a position by sending a message through Search, or apply separately and mention in your cover letter that you are registered with Search?

Thanks!

Re: Canadian Tax Question

If you have maintained your health insurance in Canada or maintained any other significant ties like an address (CRA also lists bank account drivers license etc) you are expected to file a return. If you changed your address to your current non-Canadian address with revenue Canada, you may qualify as non-resident for tax purposes. I would call them and clarify.

Workload at UWCSEA and Upper Tier Schools

When UWCSEA is discussed on this forum, the workload is often mentioned. I'm curious as to what a "heavy workload" actually means here. Does it mean that the days are packed with little downtime, does it mean you will be working until 8 pm everyday, or does it just mean you will be taking on a lot of extracurricular's. Can anyone with experience or who knows someone who has worked there describe what a standard work-day at UWCSEA would be like? Also, how does this workload compare to other upper tier schools in Asia/SE Asia? I personally am quite happy to work very hard while at work and coach a team/run a club/help students with hw probs etc, but still like to go home early enough that I can either spend time with friends/family or do some form of recreation other than work a couple times a week. Thanks!
