Re: Registration help
Great! I’ll be in touch with you by email in the next few weeks to work out the details.

Re: Keggers?
Indeed! And I’d need help. I mean, five gallons is a lot of beer!

Re: Beer Bottles.
Heh. Now you tell me 🙂
Actually, we’ve got a couple of cases to get us through the first batch, and then I won’t be doing any more brewing until after MFF. And I hope to use the keg thereafter, but we’ll see. Thanks for the offer, though!

Re: just a quick question
thank you VERY much yes it helps me avoid stupid questions to the guy i hope will help me get a job

Beer Bottles.
Let me know if you need bottles. I have about 600 half liter bottles just sitting in my basement. you might even persuade me to part with some of the Grolsch bottles too.

Keggers?
Wait wait wait wait wait.
So you’re actually thinking of kegging your beer? Meaning we could (theoretically) all drive to and have a keg party?
I’m there. Theoretically.

okiedoke! Give him a hug for me. =)

Yeah, living up in Chicago would sure be nice again, though I have nightmares of spending the money and effort to move only to land a position in, say, Cleveland.
I am not about to speak for Takaza (I’m starting that early, and I plan not to speak for him very, very often in the coming year!), but I will note that he told me this morning that the Restaurant Guide won’t be going to the printer this week (though maybe as early as next Monday). So he probably doesn’t need it today, to be sure.

Re: just a quick question
Oh, it’s cool to answer it here. First and foremost: recruiters (or headhunters) should always, ALWAYS work on commission. They should make their fees from the company that hires you and there should be absolutely no cost to you. If a recruiter ever even mentions any cost to a candidate – walk away. Don’t answer their e-mail, don’t talk to them by phone, because they’re not legit in any way.
That having been said: Companies that have a job opening will typically contract a recruiter to get resumes for them and screen them for possible candidates. The recruiter then presents a selection of possibilities to the employer, which chooses a few from that narrowed group to actually interview.
Where do you reach a recruiter? Typically on Monster or Careerbuilder, or similar boards. They also sometime advertise in the newspaper, but anymore the Internet job boards is where the action is. The downside is that since the recruiter is in it for maximum commission (and a typical commission is 15%-20% of the annual salary of the position), they’re not going to mess with any positions that pay less than $30k – $40k per year. Anything less than that, you’re probably better off applying directly to the employer.
Hoep that helps!
