Hi Fermin,
Network, network and network! Attend as many networking face-to-face meetups as possible, also Google the words "Pink Slip" and "meetup" and drill down your searches to Florida ans South FL in particular.

I am Cuban-American born in NYC and raised in South Florida.

English, Spanish, some German
what is your current, past or ideal job title?
I have assisted my employer LatPro in partnering with leading Fortune 1000 organizations to give them a one stop Hispanic/diversity sourcing/branding solution over the last 8 years which include agreements with CitiGroup, Osram Sylvania, Progressive, Nemours Health, Blackrock, Raytheon, BP, ADP, Sirius Radio, US Department of State, Accenture and others.
I have been consistent in meeting and surpassing my personal and organizational minimum quotas over the last 6 years (2003-2008) in a row.
your connection with Latin America?
both of my birth parents are Cuban.
your favorite Latin American city? vacation spot? food?
Thanks Len, I will and I am. There is still so much to be done in the job sector, particularly in the travel job sector in Latin America....let me know if I can be of any help...Gracias Patricia
Hi Len, maybe I'm wrong but so far, what I saw in Latpro are bilingual jobs mainly in the US. I was aiming at bilingual jobs in Latin America .
Do you have some advise? ANyway, I like being part of this community. Regards Patricia
Gracias por agregarme...te deseo un hermoso dia!!!
Atentamente,
Clau

Len:
Thanks for your prompt reply, at this point besides the fact the economy is not going good, the question is about what could be the best way for trying to get a executive job, I think I have experience , I am educated, and I been working for good companies, so after that I did my resume and I mention all the details in there but I feel like when apply for some jobs these guys doesnt even read it or they doesnt care, so I dont know if is because I am doing something wrong or just because I am latino or what.
Len: Thank you for your prompt reply. I will send you my resume. What is the best way of doing it? Do I copy and paste it here? Or, could I send it to your e-mail address. The drawback of working for another govt. agency is that my govt. pension would stop unless they can bring me on board as a contractor which is what many govt. agencies are doing now. This way they don't have to provide health and other benefits. Let me know how you would like me to proceed in terms of getting my resume to you. Best regards, Mirta
