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.

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. -- Another missive from the desk of Stephen Booth DISCLAIMER: The above is probably my opinion but I may change my mind.
