You need to find an employer offering work that will provide you a job, then they will apply for the visa for/with you. Usually those people are skilled migrants and use the H1B visa, or unskilled using one of the other short-term worker visas.

But the key is - you find an offer of appropriate employment, then you get a visa.

It doesn't work the other way around - you don't get a general purpose work visa, and then find employment with it in hand.

Note:

Generally, a citizen of a foreign country who wishes to enter the United States must first obtain a visa, either a nonimmigrant visa for temporary stay, or an immigrant visa for permanent residence. Temporary worker visas are for persons who want to enter the United States for employment lasting a fixed period of time, and are not considered permanent or indefinite. Each of these visas requires the prospective employer to first file a petition with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. An approved petition is required to apply for a work visa.
