In most of the US Universities, after the completion of 2 semesters, international students like us can apply for CPT (Curricular Practical Training) job-either full time or part time. Finding CPT job is not so easy. Going for Indian Consultancy is one of the best options. It is not clear about your major. If it is IT related, then it would be much easier to find. I know one in Chicago area, www.egeni.com (egen solutions) in Aurora. One of my frends is doing CPT job through this consultancy. Good Luck dude!
