Front Office Hang-outs?
Does anyone know where the front office staff tends to hang out after work? Any particular bars, or restraunts? Any help would be awesome... Trying to do an interview for school, and calling and email get NOWHERE with the people. I think I'll need to "accidentally" bump in to someone...
Any suggestions on where to go and who to look for?

I have no idea, but...
I have a feeling most of them just go home.

I agree with Al

I agree as well, but...
The weird thing is it seems as if NOBODY knows anyone on the inside. I know people who know ALOT of people; yet NO ONE seems to know anyone in the Cubs Organization. A mystery.

I'll ask around...

I'd appreciate it...

it depends who you are trying to contact
Maybe e-mail Sullivan from the Trib or Muskrat from mlb.com for a tip or point of contact? Just a thought.

Different Era

Been there...
I've used exact names and never so much as mentioned Jim Hendry or Andy McPhail. Usually folks in the community relations or marketing departments.

Initially...
Marketing/Ad/PR is what I want to do, they are who I want to work for. And as we all know: "It's not what you know, it's who you know." And I am trying to get to know people.

I'd go about it a different way
If it has to be the Cubs, I'd suggest the I-Cubs. Otherwise, just start contacting every team in the Midwest league.
Everyone is trying to work in baseball these days, so you are going to have to take work where you can find it.

Actually...
He was from Boston and was acually a Bo-Sox fan... His is exact words I believe were "I've always kinda like the Cubs, but I'm really a Red Sox fan..." Sickening.
And why the hell should I not go for this one? Sending in a Resume can not hurt me, I have a good one considering other college kid resumes I have seen. I am not your average college senior in that respect.
As far as I am concerned, I have a good shot and I am going for it.

since you are a college
You should blast out a lot of resumes--MWL, ICubs, Bulls, Hawks, Sox, Bears, and keep pursuing the Cubs too. Good luck, I hope it works out for you. Let us know too as I would be curious to hear if the Cubs ever reply.

Oddly enough....
That is the case here it would appear.
I do want advice, and believe me I am looking. I check daily on numerous web sites to find positions. From the Jackhammers to (this would be hard) the White Sox. (Albeit trading on my upbrining).
I was merely trying to state that this is my position. This is where I am going to go. I will no soon enough whether or not too many eggs were placed in this basket, but I am by no means wanting to look back with the ability to think that maybe I didn't get the position due to my own faults.
All this started as was exactly that, trying to do everything I can to leverage myself into the best possbile position to get this internship. Any and all advice is always accepted, that's why I came here. I have been reading long enough to know that someone here would maybe be able to help. Hence the posting.
Any and all advice welcome, I am open. But it is right now time to risk being out-of-work for a month to maybe get the job I want. I have been in jobs I've hated before... And seeing as I have no family to support: I'd rather be jobless.
And I truly believe I am a viable canidate for this position. Thank you for your advice, and believe I do look. If you see something I have not, please bring it to my attention. I also have a history and degree in radio, and would love to get back into that especially in a promotional level.
So there, anyone know anyone hiring?

A tip
by Ivychat on Sep 23, 2005 3:25 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I'm sure it's been reported
by socalbob on Sep 23, 2005 3:29 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I wasn't planning to do that.
I'm not oblivious on how and who to interact with. I know a handfull of people who have gotten jobs exactly that way.

FYI...
firstinitiallastname@tribune.com
You could always try that.

Tried that with a couple of names
Wish me luck.

FWIW Jepsen....

Somebody named...
Not particularly well, either (4.95 ERA), but he was later sent to the Dodgers with Rick Monday in the deal that netted the Cubs Bill Buckner and Ivan DeJesus.

I remember that guy
