Okay so I'm gonna get some sleep and think about it and prep when I wake up.
I think I got a good story for why I was not working/school for a year so that's covered.
My next major concern is my lack of references.
Does it have to be all professional references or can I have like 2 professional and one personal?
Right now I'm helping my friends out with their start up business so I can use one of them as a reference. Other than that.............
I can't use a fellow teacher when I was teaching English as one can I?
