    Hi Peter,

    I would recommend building out your Linkedin profile and using their job listings; I've found a lot of jobs are advertised there. Craigslist may be good, I'm not sure what it's like for accounting jobs. Indeed.com has pretty comprehensive job listings too.

    I wouldn't bank on having something before you come over. I managed to have one Skype interview before I left for the States, but every other employer either suggested I touch base once I arrived, or flat out didn't respond. You'll have much better luck once you're here, with a local address and phone number. That said, can't hurt to at least get your name out there and can follow up later if needs be.

    Where did you go to school? Maybe there's an alumni association
