I too will be looking at everything I can do once I get back to make myself stand out amongst the other applicants and if that involves re-training, or training in something slightly different then so be it.

I know it's going to be hard, but I'm looking at this as a challenge and I love challenges..LOL.

I'm pretty sure that with your skills and language skills you will find something, so just put yourself out there. Remain positive ! The very best of luck to you...and let us all know how you get on.
I honestly think you will be pleasantly surprised. Healthcare jobs are growing by leaps and bounds the world over and that includes medical secretaries. It might take you a few months because you are coming from overseas but you will find something

Thanks windsong..hopefully it won't take me too many months, because I only have enough funds to last me 6 months..lol. So have to find something quick or else come back to the US with my tail between my legs...lol

I need to broaden my horizons a bit and see if I can find a teaching job in England or Scotland and not just confine it to Scotland which is where I taught before. Wherever it is, it would be a foot in the door again
