Is it possible to use a TEFL Certificate and really get a Job?

TESOL while Europe generally requires a minimum of a first degree plus an ELT entry qualification. Travel for Free! TEFL International
There was a day when English Language Teaching Jobs were readily available to those with no formal TEFL qualifications but who were deemed qualified simply by virtue of being a native speaker. This is increasingly not the case in the current ELT climate where the student of English as a foreign or second language has become increasingly more sophisticated in terms of knowing what s/he needs to learn, how s/he learns best and the results s/he expects to achieve.

Learn to play bass guitar

I just found a new site that will help you to learn the bass guitar. While many focus just on playing by ear, it shows why this is not always the best way to go about learning. Being able to understand why a bass line works is much more practical. Then you can take that knowledge and create your own bass runs. Learning to play bass is not extremely difficult, however, learning bass well takes more time.
