Question by M Jovanick: Can i use a recruitment agency to market me in the job market?
I’m new to the job market in the US.
I work in the IT field and i was wondering if there any kind of employment or recruitment agencies that will do the opposite of what usually happens, Instead of finding candidates based on employer’s openings, they would try to market me and find me job opportunities based on my experience and skill set.

Is this available in the US job market ? if yes can you give me a few names to start with ?

In the Obama economy, their is a light demand for talented employees, unfortunately. And this affects talented workers from outside the country even worse. So I doubt you would get any value of using an employment agency. ( A google search on H1B visa will be 99% scams to get your money). The current trend is for U.S. companies to recruit for jobs hosted in other countries, so you would probably have better luck in identifying those countries and applying there. Hottest markets for international jobs for U.S. companies are probably India, Mexico, and eastern Europe states.
