< Previous Summer 2005 Menu Next > Newsflash!New Hotel Opportunities in Suburbs & DowntownA recent article in the Chicago Sun-Times reported that two major hotel projects are under way in Schaumburg and Wheeling. First, a 500-room Marriott Renaissance is being built in Schaumburg, just northeast of Interstate 90 and Meacham Road, as part of a convention complex, and is expected to open in mid-2006. Meanwhile, Wheeling is in the early stages of building a 411-room Westin North Shore at the southeast corner of Lake-Cook Road and Milwaukee Avenue, and is expected to be completed by early 2007. Sources told CJC that the Marriott could possibly start hiring as early as January 2006 (no word yet on the Westin's hiring schedule). Watch for updates in the business sections of Chicago's daily newspapers, as well as future issues of Industry Insider. Also newsworthy, Four Points by Sheraton Chicago opened its doors on June 1, 2005, in the downtown area. The hotel, located at 630 N. Rush Street, is still accepting applications for job openings, including some entry-level positions. If you have a qualified candidate, please fax a resume or letter of inquiry to Sonjia Kelley, HR coordinator, at (312) 981-6622. |
