Again, thanks for the advice. I am involved with local organizations, I am connected to a professional employment group and so on..
As for your other advice, I have been advised not to do that actually.
But I appreciate any input. And yes, things were different back home. But as I wrote in my first post, I am only applying for jobs that I am well qualified for. I do not expect a great job with great pay all at once. New beginnings can be rough anywhere. I would just like it to be a job within healthcare, because that's what Im good at.
