Thread regarding Sears layoffs

Resume Building and Submission

If you in any way shape or form require Sears/Kmart to make ends meet, you should be out there sending resumes every day.

Unemployment checks are a major cut in income.

If you are here because it's light duty and you get paid even though there are no customers to speak of and hardly any inventory to stock with some kind of fallback plan, then may as well stick around and wait until you can collect unemployment.

If your store is empty, don't hold much hope.

If your store is being flooded with c-ap, the need for your services is at the liquidator's mercy, and the store could close just like that, don't count on it being stretched out for a lengthy period.

You can work as support staff. Stable careers:

Legal field
Law enforcement (dispatchers, field evidence)
Police Department
Mortuaries
Law firms (you can be a secretary or court videographer for a law firm)
Real Estate (depending on the location)
Government jobs (local, regional, state, federal)
Airlines
Grocery stores (everyone has to eat)
Daycare

I'm sure there are other fields not listed.

@11nkzWQa-aff Bull$@&T! I’m 58.. after my store closed I got job as a supervisor/lead at FedEx. I work side by side with people more than half my age. If there’s something I don’t know or understand, I ask. Sounds to me like you’ve resigned yourself to a life of mediocrity.

Good luck

Meh. It’s retail, not rocket science. When my store closed, I went to work stocking shelves at the local Kroger. A few dollars an hour more, consistent schedule, same stupid customers ... it’s all the same

If your still there, you better be actively sending out resumes. I wouldn’t be counting on ANY severance when it finally goes down

No matter what you do it'll be very hard to be successful in retail nowadays. You need to somehow figure out how to work with technology, make it or use it, and that may be a good career. I am 59 and there is nothing I can do at this age to change my destiny.

This is all messed up.
