Anybody have problems finding work in northern Illinois?


I've been looking for employment in the nothern suburbs of Chicago for little over 5 weeks. I'm qualified in many different areas. I've posted resumes, and have not heard anything? Could having 2 misdemeanor convictions on my b'ground be any possible reason? Any advice will be very helpful and thankful.

It depends what the misdemeanors are.

Go get a generic application, one that has no company name or logo on it and fill it out. Attach a one page (one side) resume, and make copies, LOTS of copies. Drop off a copy everywhere you would consider working. Don't just hit your 'dream job' sites, go everywhere. After a day or two, go back and ask to speak to the manager and thank him/her for considering you for the position. Tell them you're still interested if it is still available, and leave another app/resume.
Take any job offered, because it's always easier to get a job when you have a job. Employers look for people who are workers, and always assume there is something wrong with you if you're not employed. Be upfront and honest about your two convictions, and keep a confident, positive attitude. You'll find a job. Good luck.
