Bartender needing bar! please!

I just moved to the Chicago area from Miami Florida, and am having a bit of a hard time finding a place to put my fantastic bartending skills to work. I have over 7 years experience, and without tooting my own horn, I'm VERY good at what I do. Times have gotten a little tight and i was hoping to find anyone that might be able to lead me in the right direction.

i would love to hear your suggestions. if anyone would like me to forward my resume to them to USE or pass on.. l would be more than happy to so.

thanks a bunch

Have you tried going on the major hospitality chain sites? They're always looking for bartenders- hyatt, starwood, etc. Hotel bars are surprisingly getting better!

Agreed...and Starwood is a great employer.
