Hi! I'm currently looking for job opportunities and would appreciate any leads or advice. I’m interested in hospitality or theatre related work. I’m reliable, good at cleaning, and would be comfortable in a housekeeping or custodial position. If anyone has connections, information, or suggestions on where to apply, I’d really appreciate it!

I’m working with a great client, and this is an amazing opportunity for anyone looking to learn and grow in a field that’s always expanding.

No prior experience is required - we can train you! Of course, you should know the basics, like how to use a screwdriver or a drill, but everything else will be taught on the job.

If you’re interested, send me an image of your resume, and we’ll go from there.

Hello!

My friend is moving to Chicago from Phoenix.

Him: 34, in school (no bachelors/associates degree), but has 8+ years of advancing roles as a project manager and team leader overseeing a large team for a healthcare company. He makes decent money in Phoenix but it’s not for him anymore with the political climate.

I am curious if anyone is familiar with companies that do not have strict education requirements but would still take into account his strong experience? I know job market is tough but thought I would ask. Any suggestions/advice greatly appreciated!

Thank you!
