Today, your resume is your personal advertisement. To be successful you need to adapt methods that advertising professionals
have used for years to ensure their ads are noticed and read.

remains the least understood and misused tool in the job seeker’s
arsenal. A powerful resume, used to its potential, is the ultimate
marketing tool for all types of job candidates. You’ll learn about:
• Why a properly written resume works so well.
• Why resumes that go by the old rules do not get interviews!
• How you can more than DOUBLE your chances for
interviews and job offers.
• Fact, myth & common sense: resume and job search tips & mistakes.
• Resume secrets and tips for new graduates, career
changers and older workers.
• Resumes and communications technology: faxing, email, the

DREAM INTERPRET
INTERPRETAATION
Practiced by the ancient sages of every land from the Orient
to the plains of North America, dream interpretation once
played a powerful role in human history. Though long abandoned in the West it began a resurgence in the 20th century
under Sigmund Freud. But it was his “crowned prince” CarlGustav Jung who first seriously collected thousands of dreams
and wrote about how their powerful images and symbols
influence and guide us. Learn how you too, can come to
understand what these images mean for you and how to
harness the power of dreams for perpetual inspiration, selfreflection, problem solving, and the cultivation of your inner
life. Following the techniques of Jung and his many followers,
this class will give you a solid background in dream interpretation, frequent themes and their possible meanings, as well
as tools to use that will let you decipher the often baffling but
powerful images and what they can do for you. Bring one
dream, typed out, and an open mind. Francisco Herrera

ESTAATE LICENSING CCOURSE
If you’re interested in a professional career in Real Estate, the first
step is this course. Unlike some other Real Estate licensing
courses (where you sit through hours & hours of video tape),
we have live, knowledgeable instructors to give
you the finest instruction.
This forty-five-hour
Salesman Licensing
Course is required by the
State of Illinois to prepare
the candidate for the Illinois Salesperson and
Brokers License Examination. Upon completion, you will receive certification entitling you to move on to the
licensing examination, which is required by state law.
Topics covered in the course are ownership, encumbrances,
license law, brokerage, contracts, financing, property descriptions, land surveying, deeds and appraising. There are no special eligibility requirements for taking these courses, however, to
be eligible for a real estate license state law requires that one be at
least 21 yrs of age, have a high school diploma or its equivalent,
complete the 45 hr real estate course of instruction, & pass the
written State Examination. The course is offered by real estate
professionals licensed by the Illinois Office of Banks and
Real Estate. Lab/Mat. fee: $135.

OFFEEMATING
Connecting Through Circulating & Percolating. This exclusive event was developed by Gail Prince, critically acclaimed author, speaker and relationship expert sharing her Ten Commandments for first coffee dates. By showing how to be approachable,
use verbal and non-verbal love signals and engage in small talk,
coffee daters are able to circulate and percolate with greater ease
during this provocative evening. CoffeeMating is a series of ongoing, fast, FIVE minute one-to-one exchanges or “mini dates.”
Throughout the evening, men and women pair off, talk for a short,
limited time, and then “snowball” and move on to the next potential “date.” Some call it romantic musical chairs, and others call
it speed-dating. After each date, coffee daters fill in a “yes” or “no”
on their date cards. If the attraction is mutual, a match is made.
CoffeeMating is an organized, low pressure setting that appeals to
many weary of bars and large social events. It eliminates the
awkwardness of asking for a telephone number or feeling pressure to give a number, and it provides a sure-fire way to meet
many people in a short period of time. CoffeeMating gives new
meaning to the expression, “Let’s meet over a cup of coffee!”
Facilitator: Sarah Pickett. CoffeeMating takes place at Cosi
coffee house and sandwich bar. Cosi, which stands for comfortable, friendly, and of course, cozy, is the perfect sophisticated atmosphere for CoffeeMating. Located at 230 W.
Washington (corner of Washington and Franklin). After 6
p.m. some street parking, self-parking garage next to Cosi.

NETWORKING FOR KINKY PEOPLE
Having trouble connecting with people who hold the same view
of life as you? Do you see life just a little bit, or even a lot, off the
straight and narrow? Maybe even a bit kinky? Whether you’ve
had fantasies about being tied up, wearing leather, bowling in the
nude, multiple partners or other creative ideas, there are more
like-minded people out there than you think. Find others who
are open to thinking about alternative lifestyles at Networking for
Kinky People. Meet other like-minded people in a facilitated, organized and low pressure setting where you can mingle, meet
and learn about various lifestyle activities. There will be activities
throughout the evening designed to give men and women an opportunity to meet in groups, talk for a short time and then move
on to meet with others. Whether you’re wanting to meet someone
special or simply meet other people like yourself, this is the place
to gather. Open to men and women of all lifestyles, single or
partnered. Ken Melvoin-Berg, owner of Weird Chicago

Take a walk on the wild side of Chicago. Host Ken Melvoin-Berg
will take you to some of the sexiest spots in Chicago to explore the
kinky, freaky and little known locations of Chicago’s sex industry.
We will examine Chicago’s sexy past when we go to the locations
of the Everleigh sister’s house of ill repute and the old Levee
district where prostitution first started in the Windy City. We will
also check out where the prostitutes may be hanging out in the
present (It changes from day to day). But the highlight will be a
trip to an S&M dungeon and several places to do a little sexy
shopping. The tour changes from time to time so we may be
going to an adult film shoot or bring you to a makeout club, you
never know where we’ll go! 18 and up only - ID required. Clothing and polite attitudes required! Mat Fee: $20
Ken Melvoin-Berg has been rated in Time Out Magazine as
the best tour guide in Chicago (he is also one of the owners
of Weird Chicago Tours) and has instructed many classes
on alternative sex practices and Japanese rope bondage.

SINGING SYSTEM
Forget about breathing exercises, “singing from your stomach”
and other “techniques” that usually get you nowhere, are confusing and most importantly, do not get you singing “free and easy”,
which is what singing should feel like. This 3 hour seminar is geared
toward popular singing styles (rock, pop, R&B, country, jazz, blues
and everything in between), as well as microphone singing. Closet
singers who enjoy karaoke, open mics, and professionals and
serious amateurs who want to switch from classical style to popular
styles will benefit from this enlightening seminar. If you need a new
“lightbulb” to go on when it comes to singing, this seminar is for
you! All levels and backgrounds are welcome! Singing is a great way
to relax as well as get over shyness, inhibition, and gain confidence.
The instructor uses a fun, enthusiastic, and nonjudgmental approach. Please do not eat at least 2-3 hours before seminar and
bring a bottle of water! And come prepared to sing! We will do singa-long in addition to solo singing. Hope to see you there! Kolette has
been coaching singers in popular/contemporary singing styles for
more than 10 years. She has performed around the Chicago area
and currently offers private coaching and consultation.
