• Answer:

  There are many good sites for finding jobs and a few have been mentioned. A lot depends on what you want to do and what your skills and experience are. Since we don't know that, here are some general starting points: * Indeed.com - http://www.indeed.com Indeed is an "aggregator" site which collects job postings from job sites as well as employer Websites, so searching on Chicago and a job title will give you more options than most other sites. * Craigslist for Chicago - http://chicago.craigslist.org/ Craigslist is a giant online classifieds (mostly free) so you'll find many jobs posted by small companies and individuals. You'll also find some junk (scams, etc.) so be careful. But it can be very useful. Here's an article for getting the most out of Craig's List - http://jobhunt.typepad.com/jobsearching/... * Job-Hunt.org - http://www.job-hunt.org/jobs/illinois.shtml Has over a hundred employers and career resources collected, including job search support groups to help you with your networking (like finding out who is hiring). Be sure to know what job you want and to let everyone know that you are job hunting. Over 75% of the time, people get a job because they know someone already working for that employer. It's called networking, and it's a key to success (but not a short cut). Good luck!
