indeed.com is a good site to look for jobs -- it aggregates postings from lots of different sites and is easy to filter the results.

advice for looking for work really depends on what you're looking for. of course now with technology it's possible to connect with people you haven't met -- so if you're active in an online community in your field, then that's one way to network.

if you're already in SF, another idea is meetup.com. find a meet-up that's in your field of interest, and start meeting people. tell them what you do, and what you're looking for.

Hi Thaedoya

Hope you are well. I just wanted to know how did you immigrate to California. I am planning to do the same thing, however it is a bit challenging to find a job at the moment.

This is a very old thread. You may want to PM the user directly.

If you have been in the Middle East can we assume you were working in the medical field? An RN who can pass the international nursing exam and can pass an English exam is the best bet. Marrying a US citizen is a favorite path for many, either via fiance' or spousal visa. GOOD LUCK.
