Hi Carlos,
Sorry to hear about your recent experiances and hope you are getting
back to normal.

The agencies I referred to are the employment agencies, companies that
specialise in filling employment positions. I can send a few possible
names if you like, but it may depend a bit on which geographical or
work area you are primarily concerned with. The websites I pointed to
will include advertisments from the agencies anyway so you could pick
up the contacts details from there.

But if I can assist, don't hesitate to ask (on or off list) and I'll
do what I can.
