Although I'm not sure how this would extrapolate to the US based on the 
experience of UK graduates I would advise you think twice before going
on to a masters or other higher degree.  Experience has shown that,
in the uk at least, a higher degree does not guarentee a job. YMMV.

I have contact numbers for a few US job agencies.  I can make no
judgement of their eficacy and do specifically recomend or endorse
them as I only use one of them and I'm still waiting for them to 
get back to me.

Donald Truss, president of Science Temps, recently posted an article
about job hunting which gave some good advice on how to get the job you want.
If you can find it, it may be in an archive somewhere, it was definately 
posted to uk.jobs.d and possibly to bionet.jobs and a number of the other
regional job groups.

DISCLAIMER:  The above is probably my opinion but I may change my mind.

he analysed your simian ancestry in some detail and described rather
a solitary vice you should practice to extinction" - Obelia, "And Eternity"
