"I don't have a job because employers won't hire me because I was away from America for so long. I am 55 years old and my age doesn't help either."

Being away from America for so long. Why do you think stateside employers regard that as a bad thing in a jobseeker's resume?

I have another question for you. In which of the countries where you have taught would you have been able to save the most as a foreign teacher while working a short working week?
