This is not discouraging at all. On the contrary, this information is beneficial as I try to move forward with my plans to transition into the Middle Eastern market.

I do not plan to just "up & relocate". I am, however, researching opportunities that would enhance my family's life and my proffesional expertise. I presented my questions in this forum to gain some insight into an uncharted territory but I'm not naive about the challenges of the global job market.

I believe that I possess the necessary skill-set, expertise, education, energy and drive to bring an immediate and positive impact to any organization. I have been a high-level performer my entire career and I'm now looking for a new set of challenges in a market other than the U.S.

If anyone on this site can guide me to finding websites, contact information or headhunter informaion, I'll do the necessary leg work to find the right opportunity and I'll be forever thankful.

Thank you for your advice.
