Hello Dana, 

I was referred to you by Elizabeth W. Atcheson, and I am writing this letter to ask for some professional advice about finding a job, and career development. Please see below some information about me and issues I would like to clarify. 

So, after obtaining a degree in Aerospace Engineering I was employed as a Design Engineer for 5 years by the Boeing Company (it was a contract position, via a vendor), then I made a career transition, and was employed as Sales Engineer (OEM integration, technical support and sales). Most recently, I worked as Aerospace Key Account Manager. In 2011 I also obtained an additional education in Marketing/Project Management. As a result I have diverse experience or a combination of skills in Aerospace Engineering and Sales

Several months ago I immigrated from Russia to Seattle (I am a green card holder). Even though I have the diverse experience and have been employed by well-known international companies throughout my career (they have manufacturing facilities or representative offices here in USA), I am still struggling with finding a job here, more related to my experience and skills. 

I would like to highlight the following questions I have and where I need a professional advice:

1. What career path should I take here, in the USA? Based on the fact that I am more interested in career and earning decent money?
2. What experience can be transferred/applied easily and can be used in the USA, and what not?
3. How to position myself in the labor market?   
4. What local jobs and experience can lead me to positions I occupied in Russia? Or how to reach the same professional level/occupation I had in Russia? What kind of entry level position?

Shortly, I need a job coach or HR professional who will scan my resume, and based on my former experience and my career expectations will let me know about ‘’dos” and “don’ts” or tell me about professional areas, possible careers I should concentrate on. 

Please let me know if you can provide such services? Please let me know about your options? How much is that? Is it face to face communication or on-line or via phone? 

What kind of information do you need to get from me? 

I look forward to receiving your reply.
Thank you,

Oleg
