We moved to the US also last year due to my husbands career in the military and I am finding it very hard to seek any employment let alone a job with a decent salary. Most of my career has always been Customer Relations & IT Management and I would of loved to stay at my last job and would never of left if I had of been given the choice, especially having worked my way onto the Executive Board. Now I am just trying to work out whether they are not employing me as I only have 15 years experience and a proven track record of results or whether they take offence at my english accent, im not quite sure

Good luck with the job search

Hopefully you will be successful in your quest...before you go mad!!
