I have a visible tattoo on my neck. :)

It is a butterfly and cute but I worry this will have an impact on getting a job. Any red flags here?

I am in a very similar situation as you. I made my first post a few weeks back. Don't get discouraged and keep moving forward!

Much appreciated.

I am very new back at this. Will my 15 year absence from teaching be a major drawback for most schools?

I have a BA in English Literature, M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction, 60 hours of Law School and 4 years of teaching elementary school.

BUT

That was 15 years ago and I have been traveling around the world for 15 years doing freelance work, writing, etc.

I am getting my k-6 certification back. I'll also get an ESL certificate in 2 months.

I would love Brazil but am planning on the Middle East.

After so long away, how do I get back into this?
