Last month Forbes put together their inaugural list of the Top 75 Websites for Your Career. We, at Interviewing.com, decided to take a closer look at the list and noticed that 4 of the 75 companies were based in Chicago (not to mention a few others had regional headquarters here)!
Not only that, but 3 of the 4 Chicago companies that made the list are startups, which is pretty impressive considering the competition wasn’t just limited to the United States (some companies from Canada and the UK also made the list,) and there were no rules on who could be nominated, meaning corporate giants were up against personal blogs and small businesses.
Chicago must be doing something right to have such great representation on Forbes’ list. We want to congratulate the all the companies who made the list, which you can find here. But, take a minute to check out these hometown favorites who claimed a spot on Forbes’ list:
