Reminds me I gotta go back down to Thomson center to retake some. My dumb ass kept hitting back space on the typing
Everything else I passed . I got a few applications currently under review for federal & cook county .
Good luck getting a job with any municipality (state/county/city) without being plugged. My neighbor works for the city in the water department getting $40/hr. Then double time if they ever need him on a Sunday. Dude is only like 31. If he gets lots of overtime, he makes more bread than I do

It’s impossible to get a job with the state or UIC
I scored a 98% on a civil service exam and I wasn’t even in the top 20
I've interviewed to work at UIC before. Got that on my own, but didn't get the job. I worked for the city one summer when I was 19. But only cuz my cousin also worked in the city hall building on the county side. I didn't do Jack shyt at that job.

Can't stand the West loop and Fulton market area. They are squishing people in that area like sardines. Then they put hella stop signs on lake Street now so u are stopping every fukking block. And of course it's now prohibitively expensive to live in that area.

Like any employer, public or private, having a plug can only help but it really depends on the agency. There are some where the hiring is much more professional/insulated from politics. Water Management is definitely good ol' boy territory. Straight out of the 1950s
Came to say the same, hopped right on the metra electric. My guy posted some dope vids on his insta.
Summertime Chi is undefeated when it's no young knucklehead niccas ruining the fun

yeah, dude is making good money with water dept. I looked up his salary on the internet cuz the city/county tells how much everyone makes.
that said, the job I got (I'm in healthcare) I got it because my boss put up a job listing on a listserv I was subscribed to and I contacted her directly about it when I was still in texas. that's how I was able to move back up here.
but when it comes to my current job, I came and interviewed the friday before memorial day in 2018 after driving 14 hours from dallas to chicago and then coming straight to the interview exhausted. so they saw I was serious and hungry for the job.

Lot of times those postings are jobs for which someone internally has already been chosen, but they have to advertise it to meet whatever legally mandated hiring guidelines apply. Water Mgmt. is the most racist agency in the whole City.

Maybe it's for the millennials. I don't like areas that crowded.
