Hello.

I'm an Irish student who will be in the Elmhurst area this summer on a J1 student visa which enables me to legallly work for 4 months.

Does anybody have any suggestions where one can find summer work in Elmhurst?
All suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

If not in Elmhurst, you can work in Oak Brook mall which is just 5 minutes south of elmhurst. There are buses that run from Elmhurst to the mall. There are many many stores there.
Also, there is Elmhurst Memorial Hospital. Their food service area - and potentially other areas there.

You could contact the mayors office (Marcucci) and tell them you need temp work. Or chamber of commerce. ( Chicago area people LOVE the irish and Irish brogues. ) There are also nice stores and restaraunts right in Elmhurst.

Are you interested in any particular type of work? If you can give me more information, I can probably give you some specific places to go.

Il have finished studying a law degree so it would be great to get any kind of work experience in this area. However I will pretty much do anything and Im 22 so bar tending etc will not be an issue.
Thank you all for your suggestions.

Doc Ryan's is an Irish Pub on Spring Road. Ask for Mary Fran, she is the owner and a really nice lady. I'm not sure if she needs anyone, but it would be worth a shot. Tell her "a regular" recommended you. There are a lot of "regulars."
