I am a US citizen, an IT professional with years of managerial level experience and Masters. I worked for an international company out of the Caribbean. I have resigned my post there and returned to the US. I have been in Georgia for the past two months, and I am getting little or no movement on the job side. Is it that the majority of my professional experience was outside of the US the problem? I have recruiters calling, but no follow up from them or the comanies I have applied to. How long does the procedure through a recruiter really last? Am I doing something wrong in this entire process? Please, any feedback or advice woud be appreciated.

Couple of notes right off. While you english writting skills are fairly good they need to be brushed up on. If you have office/word, set it up so its spell checking and grammer checking is strict/formal/legal. Also, practice your english speaking as sometimes we as humans tend to pick up accents and it takes some time to get rid of them.
As for the actual search, well just keep plugging away. You might want to create a couple of programs and post them online so potential employers (especially those technical hands on shops) can get a feel for the type of programming you can do. This way they can also see what type of documentation (in code) you do and how you structure your programs.
Then there is also the www.rentacoder.com and www.odesk.com routes to bring in money along with places that allow you create a free website/personal page. Make yourself as available as possible (run whatever IM application when you are online, etc.).
Also, the current environment is an employers market, just like it is a buyers market when it comes to real estate. They have the ability to be very selective as they are looking to get the best value for the lowest price while you are trying to get the most money...
Just a few thoughts...
Good Luck
