    I recently started looking for jobs a few weeks ago. Been searching on indeed, Craigslist, and have contacted a few recruiters but have not had much luck. For some reason I was getting more phone interviews when I was applying while I was still in school. I though I might try posting on here to see if any of you in Chicago work at a firm that is looking to hire.

    I have a pretty good GPA (3.91), have relevant accounting experience (work & internship), and I’ve held many leadership positions. I’m also a quick learner and highly motivated.

    I will be applying for jobs in the Chicago area very soon, and if a person like you with accounting work experience can not find a job, what will happen to a person like me with no accounting experience? Are you applying in the downtown area or in the Chicago surbs? I always put in the Orland Park zip code on indeed and always seen ton of jobs within 20 miles. I used to live in Orland Park few years back and currently in Ohio.
