CONGRATS to @headlineclub chapter of @spj_tweets for another successful Chicago Media Career Fair, providing local journalism job seekers an opportunity to connect w/hiring news outlets & obtain career guidance & practical job search tools, co-sponsored by the Field Foundation.
Now in its 4th year, the Oct. 9th fair created space where some 150 journalism professionals at every career stage could take meaningful next steps — whether looking for a newsroom role, considering a career pivot or simply looking to strengthen how they present their experience.
