    Oh cool. A company just south of Chicago. Does that mean you live around here ? If so then tons of companies you can apply to.

    Oops. I knew that but it slipped my mind.

    Apply to all the companies @PackRatTDI suggested. Then call them. Don't wait for a phone call. Companies like people who are hungry for a job.

    I've applied to companies when I started that required 1-3 years experience and I was shocked at how many would hire me.

    Don't let this get you down or that accident. You'll land on your feet in a even better place.
