So, the day has finally arrived: I must give up my soul to the man.
I am looking for full-time jobs in the CITY (not suburbs) of Chicago, USA.
While I take a brief or eternal respite from teaching, I would like to find a writing/education-related job that will allow me to exercise some creativity.
If you live in Chicago and are not put off by my A2K persona, and by some amazing miracle you have connections or just advice, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD HELP ME.
I have two worthless degrees, a B.A. in English and an M.F.A. in creative writing. I have teaching and editing experience. I have some publication credits.
I have a fortune in student loans, and hell, to pay.
Thank you and God bless.
Sounds like an advertising firm resume, to me.
I understand that gatos/possum/fartbubble is seeking a tutor.
Gargamel, Do you have any idea how cold it is in Chicago in January? You might want to rethink this, man.
are you gonna say that it's any colder in chicago than in iowa, lady? it sure as hell is warmer in chitown than it is up here in 'sconsin...
Yea, I think it's colder next to that damn lake. You're right though, 'sconsin's way colder. Madison is the coldest place on Earth second only to the North Pole.
well, there's all that stuff 'twixt here and the north pole, but that's all no-place, anyway...
'm just sayin' that it's going to be a shock to the Gargamel system coming from Atlanta (is it?) to Chicago. 'm just sayin'.
I've lived in the upper latitudes myy whole life. I's used to it. And even then, every year I say I'm moving somewher's warm.
Actually, I'm looking forward to winter. See, I was born and raised in Milwaukee, Wis., survived 18 winters there. But I haven't been north in four years and my blood has definitely thinned.
Nevertheless I'm looking forward to what experts refer to as "stuff," as in "stuff to do," and also, "ways to spend time," which life in small town Alabama has a tendency to lack (I still love you Bama!), unless you're into drinking or reading, which come to think of it, I am, but I digress...

Good to know, roger. I've actually just submitted my resume to such a a place.
So, the choice is to curb your sense of humor, or capitalize on it.
Long ago and far away, my dad was head of the beginning tv dept at Foote Cone & Belding, on Superior, in Chicago. Didn't last all that long, though we got extravagant Christmas cards for many years after. I considered advertising myself for a bit, and that might have been right, re me, in considering it (looking back from here, later) but I fell under the sway of the book by Vance Packard, The Hidden Persuaders. I was fourteen and convinced by anyone with an argument that held together for a bit. Whatever. To this day I have a love hate thing with advertising, am keen on the best ads.
Seems a realm for creativity, but is - or was - famously cut-throat. Don't know if that is actually true now. PR seems another possibility. I've had personal qualms about PR too. Still, one can promote imaginatively that which one is at least neutral about... Perhaps there are PR firms that rep products you are fine with...
But creative writing. That also suggest employment in the growth industry of writing grant proposals.

Perfectly suitable for advertising.
