Two resources you may be interested in if you're on the job-hunt and/or just looking to network [disclaimer: they're both a part of my business, Mac 'n Cheese Productions] --

1) Smatterings: my two-times a month free e-newsletter, that runs the gamut - grants, job openings, networking events, activities to do, referrals, housing options, etc.

2) Minglers: events thrown out of my Roscoe Village home as a way for people to expand their networks - professional, social, romantic - via a unique, fun and affordable way. The one Mingler rule is that everyone comes solo!


To sign up for Smatterings or the Minglers, visit my website.

Oh... maybe this would be a good place to post this, since I found my current job via this site!

Anyone here with audit experience or know anyone else - even if not currently in the market, this is something that may be a step up.

A governmental agency is working on opening an new Chicago office and wants to hire me, but the catch is that they are not getting enough other qualified applicants. They need to fill several other spots before they can get into training, and starting up this site. They have indicated that perhaps I can help them find people. They are hoping for people with 4 years of professional audit experience, but will consider people with just 2 years.

Help! I really want this job but need 3 or 4 others before I can start!

Picked up from some sleepy listserv:

Eight Questions for Vincent Colombet
Colombet plans to open La Boulangerie (2569 N. Milwaukee Ave.; no phone yet),a new Logan Square bakery, in mid-June. He also owns Cook au Vin (2256 N. Elston Ave.; 773-489-3141), which offers cooking classes and catering.

D: Why are you opening La Boulangerie? What are the limitations of Cook au Vin?
VC: Right now we just have a kitchen for cooking classes and a bakery where we make bread. We don’t do retail.

D: So who buys your bread?
VC: Restaurants only.

D: Which restaurants?
VC: Lucky restaurants.

D: Will you tell me a few of them?
VC: The Bristol. Sapore di Napoli on Belmont. The Dill Pickle [a food co-op].

D: And La Boulangerie will be a café?
VC: Not a café. A bakery. We are going to sell bread and crêpes. And French pastries. We are going to have a true bakery, as in France, with a very wide selection of bread.

D: What is Bread-Flix?
VC: A delivery program. Like Netflix but for bread. You go online and you say, I want bread Wednesday, Saturday, and Monday. [And then] we deliver your bread at the time you request.

D: It’s a membership?
VC: Yes, but no fee. Two [orders] a week, minimum.

D: How does the bread get delivered?
VC: By bicycle. Area will be Logan Square and Bucktown for now. Then we will see.
