No problem! It's very easy.

Finding a good job and the visa to allow you to stay here legally may prove more difficult.

What kind of work are you looking for and/or qualified for?

Are you wanted in Blighty or does someone have a contract out for you?

the whole of the US is the same regarding getting a visa...if you read the article that was linked, and you fit one of the criteria, ask more questions, other wise I would give up on the US...perhaps Canada, Oz, SA etc...
