Quick Question, I know that the only way i can ever live in America is through work so i would like to know the best Website for looking for these vacancies

Does anyone know any ?

Also why is it that i can not apply for the Lottery to gain entry i was born in scotland ( ireland is allowed so why not scotland )

Thanks for any advise

Only Monster.com and its ilk any site that claim to provide jobs in the US is a scam..most jobs are headhunted.. or thru international companies
but depends on what your degree is in ...certain specialities will always be in demand

Also why is it that i can not apply for the Lottery to gain entry i was born in scotland ( ireland is allowed so why not scotland )

the DV was originally know as 'The Irish Program' and still is in certain quarters..the name Kennedy mean anything to you ...

As Davis1 indicated, any website offering job vacancies specifically for foreigners is pretty much a scam. Why should an employer make jobs available to someone in need of a visa if there are qualified applicants locally who can start work tomorrow. Sponsoring someone for a work visa takes time, money and some considerable hassle.

If you have a skill and experience in an area in short supply in the US, you may have a chance - but the employer has to make a certain effort to find someone already able to work in the US before he can begin to consider candidates who will need visas.

As to the diversity lottery - the instructions state quite clearly that those countries excluded from the lottery are those who have already sent at least 50,000 immigrants a year to the US under other programs. The aim of the diversity lottery is to give a chance to those from countries that have not filled out their quotas.

What a good question. Many people will probably tell you monster or hotjobs which are both great. If you do freelance work you can check on elance, but for my money I like to use Craigslist as these jobs get fewer hits than the big sites and you can search your city and outlining cities and it's completely free.
