How's the job situation in Chicago?

[ChairmanAgnostic]

4. Come by one friday, grab a Chicago Reader, (it comes out thursday night)

a free wonderful paper, with tons of news in and information, not including housing, movies, shows, music, theater, and food.
Also get a Tribune and a Suntimes, although the sunday vesions would suit you best with job info.

If you already have connections or contacts here, call them and put the thumb on their experiences and knowledge.

Despite all the crap we get from rabid GOP governators from Wisconsin or Indiana, the job situation in Chicago is actually not bad, and growing stronger.

While online sources are fair, remember that thousands (including some with jobs already, just looking for a change) will be doing the same thing, Most HR people cannot tell the diff between any of the applications or CVs that they get each day. A personal connection or "in" makes all the difference.
