Hi guys,

There is plenty of home integration and HT work in Chicago and many companies are short SKILLED staff. In general sales alone are not what is in short supply, but rather the people to execute the sales. I would suggest staying out of anything which is primarily retail based, as the money and work is really in the custom business.

An often overlooked resource for finding companies are the reps for various manufacturers. If you have a manufacturer who's products you know well, or know of a distributor in the area, they usually are aware of who is hiring or not.

As for the comment about being open Saturday, having worked retail in a past life, I can't imagine anyone thinking this a bad thing??? The reason most CEDIA companies aren't open Saturdays is because they are not open retail fronts and get most of their business via referrals. If you are busy all week, who needs to give up their weekends as well!
