Crain's Book of Lists 2012 - Crain’s Chicago Business develops a “Book of Lists”& & annually.  I find this to be a  very effective job search tool. The public and private companies lists show all the corporate headquarters in the area.  The other specialized lists can aid in a focused search in accounting firms, law firms, hospitals.

Net Impact's Corporate Careers That Make a Difference - Net Impact released a new 80+ page guide to help students and young professionals chart their careers in corporate responsibility and sustainability.  There is a growing demand for both graduating and working professionals looking for guidance in this area, but resources are often limited and focus narrowly on dedicated CSR positions.  This guide profiles dozens of individuals with diverse academic backrgounds working at leading companies.
