Hey all!

Recently applied to be a Chicago Public Schools investigative specialist, but can't find any reviews online for what the day-to-day is within this role. It appears it's investigating more the fraud/internal stuff for CPS while working downtown.

I was curious if anyone is currently in the role and can give me a TLDR about it? Should have an interview next week to ask questions, but hopefully this helps scratch that itch in the meantime.

Job posting for context: https://cpsk12il.taleo.net/careersection/3/jobdetail.ftl?job=260000H1&tz=GMT-05%3A00&tzname=America%2FChicago

Hello,

We are looking to hire workers for our restaurants, anyone with experience in Wing stop/ Gyros/Subway would work. Kindly contact me for more details.

I will be moving in with my brother as a recent college grad with a degree in accounting. How doable is this move as I am moving out of my parent’s house. Is there a decent job market for accounting? And do you think i will be able to land a temporary service job in the meantime of my job search? Any advice as someone who will be new to the area?

Rant lmao

This job hunt has me feeling like I’ve been raked across a field of hot coals with lithium pouring down my throat. The psychological warfare I’m experiencing is dreadful. Honestly, dreadful. This is purgatory.

I’d rather be tied and quartered than spend another day sending, tweaking, formatting, reformatting, and spiritually sacrificing myself over resume after resume just to be ghosted. At this point I’m going to have to hire a witch to undo whatever karmic curse was placed on me because in a past life I was a shepherd who fell asleep watching the flock, and now things I’m objectively qualified for auto-reject me within fourteen minutes.

I made the catastrophic decision to get a BFA, so I suppose some of this has been earned.

I gave up on finding “cool” jobs months ago. I figured, hey, maybe if I work at a wine bar, I’ll at least get some hospitality cred.

No. No way. dawg.

The wine bar doesn’t even want you.

So now I’m going door to door like a peasant, begging.
Please, sir. Please. I am willing to work for $20 an hour. I can do almost anything. I have a degree. I can use Microsoft Office. I know how to send an email. I promise I am housebroken.

I tried office jobs. Unfortunately, I am apparently an idiot, because half the time I somehow end up applying to an “office job” that turns out to be an MLM. These listings should not be allowed to exist, but nothing is screened and anyone can just put “marketing associate” on a posting and call it a day. Whatever at this point.

Imma ball I guess?????

We operate a small lodging area in the NW suburbs about 50 minutes outside the city.

We need someone available to check people in and out. The job includes a free room but hours are nights.

It’s a pretty easy job so you can do stuff during it like watch tv, etc. We are offering a weekly salary.

If you’re interested DM me with information about yourself, any relevant experience and ideal role / pay you’re looking for!

Update: this job is much more suitable for someone that prioritizes free housing and being able to work late evenings. Historically the job has been ideal for folks that are older.

Do you not adjust your resume per the position/company? No cover letter? Just spam open positions on job sites? It’s taking me an hour to submit to companies, make any corrections their data fields made when I uploaded my resume, filling out their 50 questions, filling out their self rating module, some even have me create an account in order to do anything. I just want to feed my cats, eat, pay my bills/rent, and maybe go out for a bite to eat & a concert once a month.

Hello! Posting this here incase anyone else who saved or is applying for a marketing position at Potbelly on LinkedIn. Messages from Sarah Hall are a scam. I sent a resume to the email listed, and different email sent me an “offer letter” asking for more information from me.

Report if you come across this on LinkedIn!

If you got a job at United airlines, how did you get it? I have applied for 50+ jobs and I can’t even get a rejection letter. I work in IT and would take a big pay cut to work at United.

I looked into our Omnijobs.io database and curated a list of latest jobs. I hope this helps you in your job search.

Leave a like if I should do new one next week :)

Looking for a job! I just moved! I have a masters in counseling and I am open to helping profession related positions. Background in community mental health, court intervention work, alongside published research. I have passed and taken the NCE. Residing close to Fullerton station, ideally wanting a public transit commute. Thank you in advance!!!

Hey guys, moving to Chicago in a couple of days and have been searching for jobs everywhere with no luck. I've decided to go back to serving in the meantime but I'm also having trouble securing a job in that industry too. I've joined Facebook groups and have been applying using CulinaryAgents.com but I wanted to hear if anyone here knows of any restaurants hiring in the Chicago area. Thanks!

I graduated in 2025 with a CS/Data Science degree and have been working full-time as a Data Engineer for the past year here in Chicago.

I’m actively prepping to pivot into Product Management, but I’m seeing a weird gap:

New-grad APM roles often filter strictly for current students/immediate grads.

Standard PM roles often ask for 3+ years of prior PM title experience.

To bridge this gap, I’ve put together a product portfolio with case studies that translate backend technical pipelines into business impact and user outcomes.

For Chicago recruiters, hiring managers, or PMs open to connecting:
If you're hiring for entry-level/associate product roles (hybrid or on-site in Chicago), shoot me a DM - I’d be happy to share my portfolio and resume directly!

For PMs who made a similar early jump: what was the single most convincing way you proved product thinking before having the official title?

Drop a comment or send a DM. I would love to hear your thoughts!

Hi all! I'm looking to move to Chicago with a friend, who's starting a master's at Northwestern's Evanston campus, and a third roommate. I graduated with a degree in Wildlife Bio and Env. Studies two years ago. I've had internships as a naturalist, ecologist, and social media intern (for a wildlife education company). I also worked as a forestry research technician for almost two years and now I'm a fisheries surveyor!

Before anyone says I'm limiting myself by looking specifically in Chicago and the job market is terrible, I KNOW. Everyone knows finding a job in pretty much every field, and every city, is difficult rn. So please be constructive with your comments.

Anyway, back to the main point, does anyone know of opportunities or places to search? The Chicago Botanic Garden has great positions, so I'm applying for those. I've checked out friends of forest preserves, Student Conservation Association, and the field museum (which will be too far from Evanston), and they've all come up short.

I'd love to do something in education, conservation or urban planning, and compliance. I'm not too picky though; I'm cool with anything that would give good experience. If not that, then ig there's always retail which sucks but it's something I have experience in. Thanks guys!!

9am - 6pm and 6pm - 3am
