My wife recently turned down a job interest with a medical equipment manufacturer which required nearly 100% travel. Those kinds of jobs can be world-wide.
Get your resume together and start cold calling them. List the big ones, like Abbott or whatever type of company you want to work for. Find their HR dept call and ask to speak to someone. Get someone's name that you can send your resume. Put together a nice cover letter and mail it to them personally with a typed (not hand written) envelope. Call 4 business days later and ask if they had a chance to read it. Be polite but firm, you have to sell yourself. If they say no then thank them for their time. Follow up with an e-mail thanking them and to keep you in mind. Then call them back every 30 days.
So many candidates these days expect they can put their resume on Linkedin and the good offers will come flooding in. You will have satisfaction if you go out and find the job yourself.
This will be the best job of your career. You no longer have to take something just to put bread on the table, you get to apply for a job you want. Take your time and have fun with it.
