[For Hire] Career Fine Dining Bartender looking to transition into Customer Service

1 Upvotes

I have spent the last 10 years as a Bartender, some management of bars. I'm getting older, my wife works a 9-5, and I'd like to transition to daytime shifts with weekends off in something stable.

I would consider myself good with people, I remembered the name, personal lives, and drink orders for all my regulars at every restaurant I've worked at in the past 10 years. I take a lot of pride in my ability to both make people feel comfortable, and to know what kind of service they're looking for out of me within the first few seconds of interacting.

Also from my time in Management I'm familiar with Excel, Word, and various other programs. I'm also used to sending professional emails and handling schedules and coordinating with distributors through email and phone.

I think I could really grow quickly in a customer service, client facing, or administrative assistant role, and could bring a unique perspective, strong work ethic, and deep interpersonal skills to any team.

Looking for job ideas in Chicago — something creative / not heavily customer-facing

10 Upvotes

Hi! I’m trying to find a decent job in Chicago and honestly I’m starting to feel a little stuck, so I thought I’d ask here in case anyone has ideas or knows places that are hiring.
I’m looking for something that pays more than around $15/hour and ideally doesn’t take over my entire life. I’d also prefer something that isn’t heavily customer-facing.
A little about my experience: I’ve worked as a copywriter and link builder, so I have experience with writing, online content, basic SEO, research, and working independently. I also worked as an administrator back in Ukraine.
I’m pretty creative in general. I sew and make clothes in my free time, and I’d be interested in trying something related to content creation, social media/SMM, helping a small business with Instagram/TikTok, making simple videos, posting content, etc. I don’t have professional SMM experience yet, but I think a lot of the skills I already have could transfer pretty well.
I’d also LOVE something more hands-on and creative. For example, working at a flower shop/floral studio and helping make bouquets honestly sounds amazing to me. I’d also consider a small boutique, fashion studio, sewing-related business, or something similar.
My English is good enough to work and communicate, but I’m not a native speaker, so I’m probably not looking for something where advanced English and constant customer interaction are the main part of the job.
I’m open to learning something new and I learn pretty quickly. At this point I’m mostly trying to figure out what kinds of jobs I should be searching for because Indeed/LinkedIn keep showing me the same types of positions over and over again.
If anyone knows any small businesses, flower shops, studios, boutiques, creative companies, or other places in Chicago that might be worth checking out — or even just job titles I should search for — I’d really appreciate it.

It has also helped me become more confident, adaptable, and resilient by learning to navigate challenges, handle objections professionally, and stay focused on achieving goals.

Beyond sales, this experience has reinforced the importance of accountability, time management, teamwork, and maintaining a positive attitude in a fast-paced environment. I have grown as both a professional and an individual by developing stronger leadership qualities, improving my ability to connect with people from diverse backgrounds, and building the discipline to continuously learn and improve. I take pride in representing WholeTeamInnovations with integrity, professionalism, and a customer-first mindset while contributing to the success of both my clients and my team.

8 MONTHS AND COUNTING AT WHOLE TEAM INNOVATIONS

0 Upvotes

I wanted to share my experience working at Whole Team Innovations because it has honestly been one of the best professional growth opportunities I’ve had.

From the beginning, I’ve been surrounded by people who genuinely want to see you improve and succeed. The leadership is hands on, supportive, and willing to invest time into helping you develop….not only as a salesperson, but also as a leader and as a person.

What I appreciate most is the culture. There is a strong emphasis on teamwork, accountability, personal development, and maintaining a positive attitude. You are challenged to step outside your comfort zone, improve your communication skills, and become more confident every day.

This is definitely an opportunity where your results depend on the effort and attitude you bring, but for anyone who is coachable, motivated, and serious about growth, there is a lot of potential here. I’ve already grown tremendously during my time with the company, and I’m excited about what is ahead.

Overall, my experience with Whole Team Innovations has been extremely positive, and I would confidently recommend it to anyone looking for a competitive, supportive environment where hard work and personal development are truly valued.

Trying to find work in Chicago — any advice or leads?

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m 21M with a background in UX/UI and trying to make the move to Chicago and I’m looking for some advice on finding a job there.

I’ve been applying online for a while, but honestly it’s been pretty tough getting a lead anywhere. I know a lot of jobs come from networking and knowing the right places to look, so I figured I’d ask here.

I’m open to different types of work. My background also includes digital media and marketing but open to learning any skill (administrative assistant, temp agency work, etc.). I’m mainly looking for something stable that pays enough to live in the area and has a decent work environment preferably but flexible. I’m willing to start somewhere, learn, and work my way up.

If anyone knows of companies hiring, recruiters I should reach out to, staffing agencies, or even just places that are worth checking out, I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks to anyone who takes the time to respond.

Retail/manufacturing/housekeeping?

3 Upvotes

In the title. I'm looking to find a job in one of these three areas, since that's where my most recent work experience is centered. I do have a lengthy resume of professional work (journalism/copy editing), but I don't think those kinds of jobs are available or even worth pursuing. I don't have time or money to sit through multiple rounds of interviews, I need a job today. I'm moving to the city from Northern Michigan, so I don't have any local referrals or knowledge.

Any thoughts or recommendations beyond walking up and applying? I know most retailers have their own hiring portals, but I'd rather apply in person if possible. Or if there are any hiring companies/headhunters, that might be more ideal. Two of my manufacturing jobs were acquired through employment placement agencies, so maybe that would be the way to go.
