Hi, could anyone share his/her experience on transitioning his/her career from a non-developed country to USA?

I moved to USA 18 months ago after leading operations for a manufacturer/distributor for pharmaceuticals and consumers goods, and it has been very hard to get inserted in the job market again.

Hi Jerry,

Thank you for taking the time to review my profile. I am afraid you saw somebody else's with same name. You may find my profile under the name L. Virginia Valera. If you have the chance, please take a look at it and let me know your comments.

Sincerely,

You may wish to become active on LinkedIn. I did find a Lenny Valera on LI, but the profile was limited and in Spanish. LinkedIn or ACP are both good advocates in getting your skills and value documented so you then can market them. I am going to assume you have have a few years left on your contract, use them to build value in how you accomplish things as a team player and leader. Companies want to see $%#.
