How can I connect with a recruiter or guide to find a career in the San Francisco area? (help someone fulfill a dream!)
I'm looking specifically for someone I can talk to on career-management. This could be a recruitment agency but I've heard good and bad points about using them as a resource. However they do seem to be the best all-encompassing source of knowledge for what I'm looking for.
I would like to talk with someone about the overall career market, what opportunities would fit my talents and also help with re-location from another state. If they have connections with hiring employers that would be a large bonus.
This could even be a pay service if the personnel are regarded as knowlegeable and responsive.
I've been researching this from various angles for months now. However it would help tremendously if I could talk to someone with the knowledge and experience I'm looking for.
Help me start the path towards realizing my dream!

I used the services of Lee Hecht Harrison when I was in transition a few years back. It is a fee based service. I was down-sized after a merger, the services were part of my severance package. LHH does have an office in San Francisco. When you work with them, you are assigned a career consultant.
Another option is to check your profile on linkedin and see if you have any connections in San Francisco or if someone in your network can introduce you to a possible mentor in your field. If you don't have a network on linkedin, it is time to build one.
Just for good measure, here is the state of California EDD site too:

San Francisco is a beautiful, but expensive place to live. If you have highly sought after skills, you may luck out and get a paid relocation, but paid relocation is a bit harder to come by these days.
Good luck,
