Two resources you may be interested in if you're on the job-hunt and/or just looking to network [disclaimer: they're both a part of my business, Mac 'n Cheese Productions] --
1) Smatterings: my two-times a month free e-newsletter, that runs the gamut - grants, job openings, networking events, activities to do, referrals, housing options, etc.
2) Minglers: events thrown out of my Roscoe Village home as a way for people to expand their networks - professional, social, romantic - via a unique, fun and affordable way. The one Mingler rule is that everyone comes solo!
Oh... maybe this would be a good place to post this, since I found my current job via this site!
Anyone here with audit experience or know anyone else - even if not currently in the market, this is something that may be a step up.
A governmental agency is working on opening an new Chicago office and wants to hire me, but the catch is that they are not getting enough other qualified applicants. They need to fill several other spots before they can get into training, and starting up this site. They have indicated that perhaps I can help them find people. They are hoping for people with 4 years of professional audit experience, but will consider people with just 2 years.
Help! I really want this job but need 3 or 4 others before I can start!
