Re: Re: Any CSO openings in IL

Glad I could be of some help. I too, have applied, so good luck to the both of us! Too late now, but Elmhurst was recently hiring (about 8 weeks ago). I interviewed, but obviously didn't get the position. Schaumburg was also hiring a part-time CSO. I haven't heard anything at all from them. It's only been a couple of weeks though. As you know, it can take many weeks before an interview is scheduled...and of course, sometimes not at all.
Ciao for now.

Re: Any CSO openings in IL

Well today I got turned down for Shaumburg, and got notice Lisle has my application and will review it, as welll as notice I passed a dispatch test in Skokie, so I get to continue in their process. Between Dispatch, CSO and Police Assitant I've applied to over 20 departments since memorial day, of which I've gotten responses from almost ten. As far as I can tell Norhtwestern is still listing their seeking CSO on Blueline, I'll have to see if they have a limit on how long my application is vaild as I might be able to update it with some more training. I'm also aware that Addison will keep an application/Resume on file for one year and contact you if a position becomes availible. Apperently Downers Grove is seeking Dispatchers and Police Officers, I haven't however submitted an application with them yet.

I'll also be testing with a State Police agency outside of Illinois this weekend just to keep my options open.

Good Luck to you, and if you find any other spots please post them.

Re: Any CSO openings in IL

Well Lisle is already filled , anyone know of any other CSO openings?


I keep trying to find things I can do to improve my odds, but this just getting discouraging as the more people I talk to less and less is availble for me to improve.

Re: Re: Any CSO openings in IL
