Why you don't contact a 'head hunter' employment service. They have procedures and connections to get you rolling. Do not sell yourself short, writing, translation, trading background will all be taken in by the representative that takes your case. What specialized terminology and skills do you posess? Science? Financial? Geography? History? Econ... Sit down and focus. Put together a pitch for the headhunter, sell him on just what you can do. Ask him for 'references', what types of jobs does his firm specialize in? No need to take the first thing he comes up with. If you have some above average skills, which I suspect you do, then you will qualify for above average pay. They take a cut of any job(s) you take and even after that cut, you should expect to make more than you'd make for something you find yourself otherwise you'd already have a great gig lined up. Break a Leg! Hunter says Mum's the word. What happen's at work, Stays at work. He ain't playin'.
