Landing a job without work authorization?

Hello,

I was just wondering whether bulge brackets in the US hire international candidates with no authorization (work visa) to work in the US. How is that going to affect my job application? I graduated from a target school, but have held no investmentment banking job in the States. Is there any way that I can improve my chance to get into IB given my current visa status?
