1000 TT looking for a job close to ORD/MDW

Left my job behind in Michigan a month ago to move to Chicago. Finding work has been difficult to say the least. Does anyone know of any places hiring in this area? Ideally within 1 hour of downtown Chicago. I have
1000TT
700 dual given
75 multi
CFI/CFII
ASEL/AMEL

Still instrument current and just renewed the CFI last week.
Any job will do; CFI, jump pilot, etc...

Thanks!

good luck...there are a few posters here that live in the area that have better knowledge then I do of this area. It's just going to get tougher here when winter comes....again good luck.

I've lived in the area, northwest suburbs, my whole life and I can't find anything to save my life. I'm doing the temp thing for now. I'm currently at 2400TT, 1300 turbine, 1400 multi. Good luck to you!

Otherwise, I would contact josh homet about getting on with ifl. They hired him at 800 hours but that would be in ptk.

I've been looking for a long while too, and have not found anything that even hints at a flying job in Chicago. Lewis is NOT planning to hire any CFIs for another year at the earliest. It has been 2+ years since they had any outside hires. Good luck!
