Thank you Nautibei, really helpful.

Bigfatwhiterabb,
Sorry for the late reply, First of all Operations and Supply Chain seems identical, but it's very different and niche in America, I can speak to this because I have 10+ years in Operation and Global Supply Chain. Whether it's in the US or in China only big companies will want to hire Supply Chain Major since SCM is heavily concentrate on cost reduction and material inflow and outflow and only big companies have specialized job title such as Supply Chain Analyst, Commodity Manager, Global procurement Manager, Inventory Manager, etc. Do you have Supply Chain experience previously? Do you hold any certificate training (CPM, CPIM, CSCP, Lean Manufacturing Six Sigma Green or Black Belt? ) If you have any of these certificate it will be a big plus for you to stand out even if you're an international candidate. The reason why I say this is Supply Chain is a hot commodity in the 21st century for any company that is looking to compete in a global environment in terms of product management, cost reduction, and business expansion. If you can combine SCM with Data Analytics (Big Data) I know many Consumer and Energy companies are looking to hire such talents. SCM is like a project manager and cost account manager that need to save $$ and make an impact on the bottom line. If you don't have any experience in High tech or bio-tech, its not a big deal if you know how to promote and sell your skills to your potential employers but if you have trouble interpret your thoughts in front of recruiter then this might become a problem. My first SCM job when I graduate from college is with Proctor & Gamble then I switch to Aerospace, building F-22 and F-35 for the Department of Defense, As long as you have the hardcore skill and know how to promote yourself I don't see switching industry will be too much of a problem, of course you do have to know the terminologies in order to convince someone to hire you for the position.
-Example of Supply Chain Jobs in the US-
Both east coast, west coast as well as down south have SCM opportunities
South-Shell, Dell, Texas Instrument, Coca Cola
West-Apple, Facebook, Intel, Walmart.com, Levis, Amazon, Pepsi, Disney, Nike
East Coast/Midwest- Proctor & Gamble, SC Johnson, Johnson and Johnson, Pfizer, IBM, McDonalds etc.
