Hi Nizarm,

CONGRATULATIONS on earning your MBA. That's an excellent achievement but now it's time for you to make that accomplishment work for you. Everyone above has given great suggestions. Now are you interested in finding employment in Chicago or abroad?

GUESS WHAT? I'M FROM CHICAGO...
I live right off of Chicago in a suburb called St. Charles.
If you are interested in staying in or near Chicago I have a couple of suggestions for you. Having lived quite a few years in Chicago I have found that the political climate makes this area a great networking community.

SO GET CONNECTED and STAY CONNECTED!!!


FIRST SUGGESTION...HERE'S HOW I THINK I CAN HELP YOU and here's what I'd like to suggest. Having been involved in sales in this area for over 10 years I would first highly recommend you joining the Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce. Why? Because Brian Tracy highly recommends this approach and I've used it in Chicago and all over the Chicagoland suburbs too and the good news is "It Works!"

CHAMBER CONNECTIONS ARE POWERFUL LINKS...
I have connected with a lot of outstanding individuals through out the Chamber who have helped me to build strong contacts and relationships. The cost of being involved has always paid for itself.

HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS STILL BEAT TRADITIONAL JOB SEARCH METHODS IN LEAPS AND BOUNDS.

SECOND SUGGESTION....connect up with people in this area through LinkedIn. If you want to know how to do that shoot me an email and I'll give you an invite. This will allow you to begin to contact individuals not only in this area but through out the world. You can search out relationships across your area of focus or speciality online. Yes it's true that some people who network are not committed but that's no reason for you to forfeit the few you will meet who are sincere about helping people link up with others. Well a couple is two and that's my couple of suggestions but because I like you I'll throw in another bonus suggestion for free.


GRAND BONUS SUGGESTION....use the relationships you currently have. You can't tell me that you have been going to school in Chicago or quite possibly working in Chicago and you don't have people who support you and want to see you succeed. I'm sure you do! Take advantage of these relationships with the most sincere caution and respect for who your friends, family and former co-workers may know. You may be surprised who they know that can help you meet a friend of a friend of theirs that knows someone whose looking for someone just like you.

SERIOUSLY BECAUSE OF MY RELATIONSHIPS I have not had to use traditional job search methods (for guess how many years?) for over twenty years. And I've worked in over several different fields and it's getting better all the time.

THOSE ARE ALMOST ALL OF MY INSIDER SECRETS...I can't tell you everything I know for free but I've given you a good start. I wish you the best. Is there anything else I can do for you?

Don't forget Craigslist - https://chicago.craigslist.org/mar/

I wasn't aware that MP had started their job board - another example of how I am learning from other people's posts.
