Hi all.
25 year old guy moving to Philadelphia from Ireland in January. First objective is to get a job then worry about getting myself an apartment. So, I'm looking to you guys to give any advice you may have.

I haven't had much success job hunting with monster.com. Could you advise me on good job agencies in the region and possibly other respectable job sites?

As for my educational background:
Masters Degree: Security & Forensic Computing
Bachelor Degree: Computer and Communication Engineering
Bachelor Degree: Electronic Engineering

It is a real struggle apply for jobs when I'm not in the country and feel things will improve when I'm in Philadelphia but ideally I'd like a job agency to help me set up interviews for when I arrive etc.

Thank you for reading this thread and for any advice you may have for me.

Checkout a company called Judge. I know they have offices in Bala Cynwyd and center city. They are basically an employment agency and place prospective employees with employers. The company then gets a commission from the employer. I think they specalize in engineering, high tech, and healthcare.
