DO's and DON'Ts while Waiting for your Dream Job

10/3/2017

By Sara Walker

You know that you’re capable of being a top-tier applicant (that’s why you’re here!). You’re the type to take your career ambitions into your own hands—build your network, do your research, rock the interview, and write an awesome thank you note.

But then it’s the hiring manager’s turn, and you have to shift gears from proactive to patient. Isn’t there anything you can do?

The short answer is, making the switch from “full steam ahead” to “wait and see” mode is the most important step (but more on that later). Read on for a breakdown of the dos and don’t’s while you’re waiting to hear back.

Don’t Work Against Yourself
As with most relationships, looking interested is good, but looking too interested makes you less desirable. You may think you’re showing your future company that you’re ready to hit the ground running, but if you come on too strong post-interview (think “checking in” to restate your interest less than a week after the interview or double communicating—emailing and then emailing again without a response from the other party), you look less like a candidate they’d be lucky to hire and more like someone who’s anxious to leave your current role. It’s not fair, but the rules of human nature apply, and someone who seems desperate suddenly seems less appealing.

Need another reason to wait to contact your potential employer? Even if you are a shoo-in, being over-eager will weaken your negotiating stance when it is time to talk terms. If you put too fine a point on wanting to work at this company more than anything in the world, then the company may offer you a lower salary than a candidate it’s trying to entice.

Do Respond in a Timely Fashion
To be clear, you want to step back from your role initiating communication—which you did when you sent your cover letter and thank you note—and let the company be the party to reach out. However, there is a big—read: catastrophic—difference between letting the interviewer take the lead and deserting the dance floor altogether.

Just like you should respond to a request for an interview within 24 hours, if your contact follows up with you (good sign!), be sure to reply within one day (and ideally within a few hours). Going on vacation? Set an away message for your personal email; even consider updating your voicemail message to tell callers you’ll be unreachable. It’s worth it so the company doesn’t think you’ve simply moved on.

Don’t Drive Yourself Crazy
I was recently waiting to hear back about a position, and I’ll admit it: Every time my email dinged, I frantically checked to see if it was news on the job front—or just another retail advertisement. I’d think about the job before I went to bed, and when I woke up in the morning.

That’s not necessarily a bad thing: In part, obsessing over a job is how you know you’re on the right track and applying for a role you’re really passionate about. At the same time, though, you need that proverbial dose of reality—and regularly—so that you’re not crushed if you don’t get the job.

Your personal timeline will depend on your circumstances, but if I make it to the final round for any given job, I give myself one week when I’m allowed to think about it non-stop. For an entire week, I don’t apply to other jobs (assuming I don’t have anything else in the works), almost as a show of confidence in myself. For the skeptics who think this means I’ll miss my chance elsewhere, the second part of the one-week rule is that, after a week, I go back to job-hunting business as usual, and pick up right where I left off.

Do Move on Graciously

Okay, ideally, you hear that the job is yours, and then all you need to do is negotiate your salary and prepare to leave your current role. Another, somewhat more depressing scenario—though one you’ll get through just fine—is that one to two weeks go by and you hear that you didn’t get the job. If this is the case, graciously thank the hiring managers for their time and, if appropriate, ask to be kept in mind for future roles or to stay connected on LinkedIn.

Perhaps the hardest scenario, of course, is when an employer who tells you you’re a finalist then follows the “never contact the applicant again and he or she will get we went another way” protocol. (Personally, I prefer when company procedures mimic that of what they’d expect of their employees—being timely and honest—but that’s really not up to me.)
So what should you do? How do you know whether a company passed on you or if the hiring process is simply taking longer than expected? It’s OK to send one follow-up email, and from there gauge your contact’s response (if any) and response time, and then reply if appropriate. And if you’ve sent a thank-you note, followed up once, and haven’t heard a peep—well, it’s probably best to keep exploring your options.

Waiting to hear back about a job is nerve-wracking. But use the steps above to stay sane—both for yourself and in the eyes of the company.

As Chicago enters the heart of gala and charity event season, there are numerous events across the city, from River North to Highland Park, that raise funds for a worthy cause. However, one event truly stood out this season: Fashion, Compassion, and Cocktails, organized and graciously delivered by Moxie Strategies, one of Chicago's leading events marketing companies. The industry-insider event took place at the Godfrey Hotel in River North on October 29, 2015.

The highly-anticipated event, which began promptly with a premier cocktail reception, attracted the attention of business gurus, media insiders, fashionistas, and fashion models, among other notable groups.

Picture
The soiree benefited the Israel Idonije Foundation, which provides a plethora of programs for empowering children across Chicago, the needy in Africa via Project Africa, and fostering community unity among urban youth and law enforcement via the highly-talked-about program, Shop with a Cop. Additionally, the IIF's All Star Football and Cheer Camp is renowned for its quality work with youth and the program's ability to foster strong leadership skills and confidence in tomorrow's leaders.
Picture
Moxie Strategies, LLC, the producer of this successful soiree, is known to host some of Chicago's top industry parties. Some of their previous endeavors include The Masked Rabbit and Candyland.  The company's events are quite niche, appealing to the upwardly-mobile professional market, giving them unique and effective experiences and opportunities to network with other professionals so as to grow their business endeavors. The company believes that in helping businesses flourish, the local and national businesses, along with Moxie, can better assist those in need. Moxie’s mission is to provide visibility for small businesses and under-served local charitable organizations.
Picture
Attendees enjoyed an evening of delicious hors d'oeuvres, free-flowing premium champagne, and savory cocktails, which included the I|O Rooftop Lounge's special Moscow Mule.
Picture
In addition to savory evening elixirs, decadent desserts were provided by some of Chicago's top patisseries and restaurants for attendees to enjoy. This sweet treat, obviously enjoyed in moderation, was a top contender for many guests.
Picture
Some of Untitled Chicago's dining team was present to showcase their delicious bourbon and southern-inspired delight. Their food was a delight and definitely worth checking out.
Picture
Fashionistas and models adorned both the stage and the crowd as the who's who industry soiree boasted some of Chicago's most notable individuals within the fashion, lifestyle, and society social-circuit. Glenn Marshall, a current model represented in Chicago, enjoyed a glass of bubbly throughout the evening while working the crowd.
Picture
Guests, from one side of the rooftop to the other, wouldn't stop discussing the allure of the evening. Top insiders from the industry made their way to the event not just for a wonderful night out, but also for the opportunity to raise money for a worthy cause. Bravo to Moxie Strategies for hosting a top-tier event full of successful marketing opportunities, delish bites, and enticing spirits.

Cheers! We look forward to the next one.

In Chicago's pursuit to become glocal, the city's nightlife has undergone a series of renovations. Gastropubs like The Dawson, which opened in 2013, have made it their goal to attract a diverse clientele by embracing Chicago's rich history. Their design mirrors the "pioneering, artistic, and straightforward attitude"attributed to William and Henry Dawson. The Dawson Brothers operated one of the U.S.'s most successful fireplace mantle companies during the late 1800s early 1900s.
Picture
PdM's Creative Director learning about The Dawson Brother's rich history in the West Town neighborhood.
Picture
The Dawson maybe be known for its history and architecture, however, PdM had the privilege of sampling a few of their popular cocktails; Buried Alive, Midnite Vultures, and Day Spa. 
Picture
Buried Alive, a mezcal infused cocktail, is the ideal drink for one of Chicago's cold winter days.
Picture
For those of you that enjoy fresh lavender and gin, Midnite Vultures is the drink for you. Both fragrant and potent, it is an ideal choice immediately after a successful business rendezvous.
Picture
When you live a busy, stressful life in the city, chances are you don't have the time to spend hours at the spa. Fortunately, this cocktail (Day Spa) is the perfect drink to unwind.

Each cocktail has a unique, exquisite taste and are all highly-recommended. While we didn't have the opportunity to sample the food offerings, we vouch for the cocktails whether you're at The Dawson for an early dinner or fancy a night out with a few girl friends. For additional images from PdM's experience at The Dawson, follow us on Facebook and Twitter.

Thank you to Madelaine Kukanza and the wonderful folks at The Dawson for a great time.

Sunday Brunch at Peacock Alley: a Culinary Journey

2/9/2015

By Jorge G. Zavala | Creative Director

The great Miguel de Cervantes was quoted saying, "All sorrows are less with bread." If this is the case, the delectable brunch at Peacock Alley within the renowned Waldorf Astoria New York will transport you to a time when the mind, heart, and soul only knew and embraced joy, grace, satisfaction, and elegance. The Peacock Alley, which hosts one of the most superb brunches in all of New York City (and beyond), boasts a feast that blends the classic with modern sophistication.
Picture
As you step into the halls of the historic Waldorf Astoria, you can't help but feel the hospitality of the handsome staff and l'air d'etre of one of New York City's most dignified spaces. Peacock Alley, which serves brunch on Sundays from 10am until 2pm (final seating), boasts a heritage of culinary excellence that exceeds expectations.
Picture
Guests are graciously seated and select an elixir of their choice before engaging in the gastronomic experience. The coffee is bold and flavorful, the jus d'orange is freshly squeezed and divine, but the real experience takes other forms. The Bloody Mary, which is an iconic brunch favorite, takes an entire new level of delicious at Peacock Alley. Generously infused with the right amount of vodka and graced with the freshest tomato juice, black pepper, and Tabasco sauce, this Bloody Mary serves as a "Hello, Good Morning!" to what will become a true culinary journey.
Picture
The brunch delivers a divine raw bar with caviar, clams, oysters, lobster and shrimp, which is only enhanced by the smoked fish (we encourage the diverse offerings of salmon) and the meat carving stations. Our personal favorites were the clams, caviar, and plump shrimp, which were some of the freshest we've tasted in New York City.
Picture
If the raw bar or savory variety of seasoned meats were not at the top of a guest's list, one of Peacock Alley's charming cuisiners was ready to prepare an omelet of one's choice, full of fresh and palatable ingredients. Additionally, the best of traditional fare americain, which included buttermilk pancakes and lobster bisque, were also popular among guests.
Picture
In between savoring the seasoned meats and indulging in the raw bar, we needed to take a moment to observe and truly embrace the ambiance and joie d'etre of the experience. The crowd, which reflected a diverse-array of upwardly-mobile individuals, appeared quite content, perhaps attributed to the fine selection of gourmet desserts.
Picture
As we were getting ready to indulge in some of sweet delights, a fine gentleman insisted on a second Bloody Mary. With such hospitality (and flavor), we simply couldn't afford to negate the possibility of a second brunch cocktail. This time, the mimosa was the elixir of choice. Attributing the qualities of the mimosa to very fresh oranges and premium champagne, my palate was completely refreshed and ready for both dessert and additional sips.
Picture
Picture
With over 100 gourmet delights to satisfy even the pickiest of dessert connoisseurs, this brunch experience would not be complete with such delicacies.
Picture
While walking past the chocolate fondue fountain, we overheard an elderly woman describe the desserts on her plate in detail to one of her gal friends. "Everything I've tried (at the dessert bar) is delicious...these little chocolate cakes are some of the best I've tried outside of Paris."
Picture
Dessert, mimosas, and a beautiful crowd adorned our experience at Peacock Alley. An added charm to brunch was the gorgeous voice of a young painist/chanseur that enchanted guests with her talent. The live performance added an extra dose of appeal that was only heightened by the hospitality of those working diligently to make brunch at the Waldorf Astoria a moment to remember.
Picture
When in New York, the brunch at Peacock Alley is highly-recommended and PdM-approved.  Reservations are a must as this culinary soiree is popular with both locals and visitors wishing to treat themselves to an experience like no other.

The ACT is More than a Standardized Test: It Determines Your Child's Future

2/6/2015

By Emma Wilson | Guest Contributor

The ACT
is a college entrance exam that evaluates a student's readiness for college. Through the ACT exam process college admissions boards can judge a student's current level of knowledge, as well as their ability to reason and think logically. The ACT is one of the most important exams in a students educational career, and is a part of most colleges and universities admission requirements. It is also one of the most challenging and can make, or break, a student's chances of getting into a top school.

What is the ACT?

The ACT is an achievement test that determines a student's current level of knowledge. Students are tested on a variety of subjects, including Mathematics, Science, and English. The test is designed to gauge a student's understanding of these topics, and their ability to apply their knowledge and reasoning skills to a standardized set of questions. It heavily shapes a student's eligibility to enter college and obtain certain scholarships.

Scoring

The highest achievable score on the ACT is 36. A students score is determined by awarding points for all questions answered correctly. No points are deducted for wrong answers. Each section of the ACT is graded separately, and these scores are averaged to create a composite score for the entire exam. This is your final score, and it is this score that provides college admissions boards with a standard measure of a student's skills in the various areas that have been tested.

This test will determine your child's future.

Taking the ACT can be a valuable experience for students planning to continue on to college. While the thought of one more exam may seem frustrating at first, the value of the ACT should not be dismissed. With a solid ACT score and a good high school academic history you can face the college admissions boards secure in the knowledge that you are a good fit for their institution.  Most students will take the exam 3-4 times: most universities do not super-score your exams, so you are welcome to send the highest of the scores.

It is important to seek early preparation for the ACT as the exam weighs heavily on a child's academic portfolio. Some schools weigh the ACT as 35% of a student's portfolio when applying for college while others can weigh the exam up to 78%, depending on the program.

Parents and educators alike are encouraged to begin prepping their students as soon as possible, and a private tutor is usually the best approach. Most tutoring and preparation for the ACT ranges between $60-$120 per 1 hour session, based on student needs. The most challenging for students are the English, Reading, and Science sections as pacing and time are a challenge for many students.

While we'd like to encourage students to have a well-rounded background for college, the reality is that the ACT will determine a great deal of your student's success in college and the experience truly begins now. Don't wait until it's too late to invest in your child.

2015 came to Chicago with a bang. Not to sound overtly cliche, but Siena Tavern, located at 51 W. Kinzie in Chicago's trendy River North neighborhood, delivered more than a NYE soiree. It brought elegance, style, hospitality, and craft-cocktails to a new level. The NYE rendezvous, which began promptly at 9pm, attracted some of Chicago's most notable individuals from the finance, fashion, and business sectors as well as out-of-towners who wanted to celebrate the beginning of a new year with our very own who's who.

Party-goers were treated to a full-night of open bar with premium elixir selections, including Grey Goose Vodka, as well as free-flowing champagne for our upwardly-mobile friends to savor while mingling with a posh, insider crowd.
Picture
Whether you wanted a whiskey sour or indulged in a savory cocktail with Grey Goose Vodka, the options for delight were limitless as Siena Tavern constantly made it a point to ensure guests were partying like it was 2015.
Picture
This holiday couple was all smiles as they sipped on their savour bonne cocktails and made new friends on New Year's Eve.

Friends, both old and new, gathered to celebrate one of the most important holidays of the year at one of Chicago's hottest venues.
Picture
VIP guests were invited to their personal booths, generous amounts of mixers and gastronomy delights, along with Grey Goose Vodka to keep the night bumpin;.
Picture
The only challenge guests encountered NYE was deciding which type of elixir to choose from.
Picture
As one of these fabulous young ladies put it, "New Year's is a time to mingle with your friends but also drink a good cocktail because it's the beginning of something special, a new you for the new year."
Picture
Fashionistas from both coasts couldn't miss the stylish happenings at Siena Tavern. "We wanted a great cocktail but also an opportunity to welcome the new year with some of the closest people to us."
Picture
By the time the new year had arrived, guests were more than ready to toast to new opportunities, new friends, and a new set of experiences to come.
Picture
While champagne was definitely a favorite for the toast, guest continued to indulge in Grey Goose craft cocktails, a whiskey double, and a tequila sunrise, or two. Props to the wonderful staff at Siena Tavern for their diligence and awesome attitude throughout the entire night.
Picture
If you missed this year's affair at one of Chicago's hottest industry-insider spot, don't panic: they offer plenty of fun throughout the regular season. In 2015, we expect some momentous avenues to continue opening up for Siena Tavern. One of the hottest places to be this past NYE, we anticipate some high-profile developments with some of Chicago's finest ladies (and gents). Happy New Year to everyone at Siena Tavern.

In 2015, Simply Be A Gentleman

12/28/2014

By Jorge G. Zavala | Creative Director

2015 is upon us, and most of us can agree that self-improvement is a big part of the new year.
Some will decide to lose a few pounds, others contemplate becoming more self-less individuals, and some strive to become better professionals within their respective careers. These are all amazing, and with the right motivation and action (plenty of it, please), we can all achieve our goals.

My personal goal for 2015 (in addition to maintaining my killer bod) is to bring chivalry back and encourage my fellow bros, bromos, dudes, and fratsters to embrace the values our fathers and  grandfathers were taught.

Firstly, what is a gentleman in this day and age? He is one who rises above the need for rash force or animal instincts to make his mark or solve his problems. His focus is in building himself (and others) up through self improvement, rather than from bringing others down. Furthermore, the following are the qualities that will constitute a gentleman in 2015:

1) R E S P E C T. A true gent will show respect to everyone around him. He will not be condescending or put anyone down, regardless of intelligence, social class, race, religion, or professional position. A man of integrity and confidence finds no use in degrading others. This especially includes women, the poor, animals, and children.

2) Equality is hot. Gentlemen do not compare each other or make a point to be “better” than his fellow man. His confidence is rooted within him, not in his superiority to others.

3) Cool as a cucumber. He understands others and his first instinct is to extinguish a volatile situation through the use of words and reason. The modern gentleman is one who has developed himself beyond the use of violence, but still knows how to use it if absolutely necessary, as a last resort – he will protect his family and loved ones at all costs.

4) Look fly, fratstar. While values are a big part of being a modern gent, let's be real: appearances matter, tons. Men: look good for the ladies (and gents) in your life, but most importantly look good for yourself. A gentleman maintains his appearance. He will pay attention to how he presents himself to others. He understands that it doesn’t only show respect for himself, but also for those around him. The statement he makes through dressing well is that he is respecting others by putting effort into how he presents himself to them.

5) International man of mystery. In addition to looking fresh, a gent prides himself on becoming a cosmopolitan man of the world. Knowledge will be learned, yes, and mistakes will surely be made. He accepts these scenarios as learning experiences and therefore welcomes discussions and even being corrected. He has evolved past being controlled by his ego.

6) Compassion is manly. The 2015 gentleman understands that regardless of what society tells you, emotions are not just for women. A gentleman understands that if a woman (or man) is considering something long term & building a family with, s(he) won’t want children raised by a statue. S(he) will also want to be loved, taken care of, and understood.

7) Chivalry is so not dead, bro. A gentleman is chivalrous, but not just towards women – towards everyone. He maintains a lifestyle that is respectful to all, and inspires others to adopt his values through his positive actions. If he encounters negative or unappreciative responses from others, he does not let it affect him. 

2015 is a fresh opportunity for us to become better than before, more well-rounded, and definitely more interesting through our new-found experiences. Ring in the new year with a champagne toast with those you love and take the proactive steps to continuously develop yourself as a man of the world, as a gentleman of your community, city, state, and nation.

On Friday, November 21, 2014, the Girls On The Run Chicago (GOTRC) hosted their 15th Annual Sparkle and Shine Gala at The Drake Hotel in downtown Chicago. The event, which was filled with some of Chicago's finest representing a wider-range of industries, brought together philanthropy and style.

The gala, which began promptly at 8pm, consisted of some savory special features, including beer, delish wine, and craft cocktails along with passed hors d'oeuvres from The Drake Hotel.
Picture
The evening began with guests mingling with old and new friends over tasty hors d'oeuvres, which included mini burgers and cheese burgers, tuna delights, and chicken satay. To wash it all down, attendees took full advantage of the open bar, which included custom-cocktails specifically made for the event.
Picture
Guests had the opportunity to engage in a very special silent auction, which included gift packages from the Chicago Athletic Center and Lululemon, among others. The impressive selection of items was definitely a highlight of the evening.
Picture
Girl Power, one of the custom-cocktails of the evening, was a favorite among the crowd. Not too sweet, but just potent-enough to be appropriate for a gala, this elixir truly was a sensation among younger attendees.
Picture
Maureen Hartigan, Governing Board President for GOTRC and Jen Dawson, the Governing Board Vice President, expressed their gratitude for such a wonderful attendance and encouraged guests to participate in the evening's developments, including a high-profile raffle that included a trip for two to Sonoma, California. 
Picture
Picture
Throughout the evening, attendees secured their item of choice from the silent auction via text message. Everyone appeared to enjoy the diverse selection of items present, and many made it a priority, in between enjoy the evening's succulent food and beverage options, to support scholarship programs for GOTRC's young women.
Picture
Picture
Girls On The Run Chicago is an after-school program that uses the power of running to education and prepare young women from 3rd-8th grade for a lifetime of self-respect and healthy living. The organization encourages participants to create and participate in sustainable values and well-being with regards to emotional, social, mental, and physical development. Since 1999, GOTRC has served over 44,000 girls from across Chicagoland.
Picture
During the gala, many positive comments were mentioned about the organization and the evening's developments. Some of the most popular themes included the wonderful turnout for the event, the importance of keeping young women focused and full of self-confidence, and importance of giving back and fundraising.
Picture
PdM is confident in stating that the GOTRC's 15th Annual Sparkle and Shine Gala was a success. Proceeds from the evening directly support the program's participants. After many participated in the silent auction, engaged in the highly-anticipated raffle, and took full-advantage of the diverse networking, guests let loose with a little boogie. The music created a fun ambiance that was only enhanced by a Girl Power craft cocktail, or two.

Congratulations to Girls On The Run Chicago and their wonderful endeavors. We wish you plenty of success in 2015 and cannot wait until next time.
